Better Jams by Last Nubian
Tiff’s Joints is delighted to welcome one of the most new producers out of South London into the fold. The Better Jams EP consists of three storming, soulful and heavily syncopated original productions, exploring the hinterland between house and brokenbeat and also comes with a delectable remix of ‘Sold The World’ by Paris’ Hugo LX. ‘Fix Your Mind’, which was made with frequent collaborator Dougan, sees loose yet jagged drums unfold into a flurry of chopped vocals, swirling synths and a calming vocal refrain calling out ‘Wake up, it’s not too late’’. The EP continues with the rolling, UK Funky-tinged ‘We The People’, driven by a warm, Larry Heard-esque bassline and delightfully spritely keys stabs.
On the B-side, ‘Sold The World’ mellows the mood slightly with low-slung percussion, a meandering lead synth line and a stirring, expertly chopped vocal sample. Now a household name on the on the Parisian club scene, Hugo LX delivers his own ‘After Thoughts Mix’ of ‘Sold The World’, bulking up the originals groove with crispy percussion and a rubbery bouncing bassline that rolls through sparkling chords, a infectious synth motif and builds to a graceful ascending synth solo.
