Kave Jonson 'Japhet' EP (Spindark Records)

Kave Jonson, co-head of Spindark Records, hasn’t always had the shine he’s deserved over the past 12 months, but new single ‘Japhet’ is a timely reminder for those not familiar. His sound looks backwards to go forward – think very much in the DJ Oddz/Youngstar/Eastwood mould – but ‘Japhet’ is emphatic. The pulse bass stabs, subtle wobble and hollowed-out vocal FX might form a simple blueprint, but in the rave, this is the sort of fodder MC’s eat for breakfast. On the flip, Johnson pairs ‘Japhet’ with ‘War Rhythm’ to even more boisterous effect.
