Lenzman feat Jubei 'Park Hill' (The North Quarter)
Lenzman’s gift to all d’n’b lovers continues, here, with a second 10-track EP on his own The North Quarter label that’s stuffed to the gills with astonishingly manicured production gems both jazzy and hench. Plumbing the depths to stone-cold loping tech territory is this standout collaboration with a favourite of ours, Jubei: where others might have been content with the teak-tough grainy snares and cavernous jackhammer bass nodes that make up the track’s simple blueprint, it’s the masterful off-camera twinklings and rearing synth tremors that add the widescreen cinematic flavour we’ve come to adore.
