February: 10 dubstep & grime releases you need to hear this month
Biome, P Jam, Jook and more
P Jam feat. Champion 'Pepper Pot/Chalice' (Hardrive Records)
Killer, vinyl-only fare from rejuvenated OG producer P Jam. Bleepy, frenetic A-side ‘Pepper Pot’ is, in parts, classic P Jam, although it does nod to the warm, tropical, funky notes that were hallmarks of B-side collaborator Champion’s early output, too. On the flip, the two combine on standout track ‘Chalice’, a surprise dubstep heater defined by pure low-end outage and punctuated by trademark P Jam tyre-skid samples, bright, glitchy FX and muffled dub-era vocals.
