Tarquin 'Jump Pack' EP (Rinse)
Killer, extroverted takes on the club from Tarquin, who’s one of the most rebellious, grime-cum-whatever producers in London right now. His debut for Rinse, ‘Jump Pack’, kicks off with the pulsing, funky rhythms of the title track, bumping and zipping around like a fly caught in a glass, while ‘Brass Tax’ offers up some seriously wonky, slapstick grime flavours. ‘Dun Tarq’, a track that’s done the rounds in Tarquin’s sets for a while, is next, all off-kilter flows, broken beats and bizarre textures, before the bright, bubbly ‘Mine’ signs off.
