DJ, producer, filmmaker and Deepblak label boss, Aybee’s rate of release has slowed down of late, clearly pulling a tighter ring around the hole through which he allows his productions to pass. That’s not to say the 15 year output of the Oakland native has been anything less than consistent, it’s just that often as artist grow, their ranges tighten and their outlook narrows, taking aim at a smaller, more personalised target; an always welcome development.
On his latest outing, Nexus, it’s a touch of mellow futurism that lays the theme throughout. The A1, ‘In The’ takes us on a rolling saunter with barely-there hats, whilst running a cool synth bath in the background, warming us up to the EP nicely to allow the energy to open up just a little bit for its last track ‘Veger’.
Nexus is out 25th September on RDV Music – buy from Juno and Phonica.
