Juju & Jordash 'Sis-boom-bah!' (Dekmantel)
The base material of good electronic music is improvisation. If you’ve seen a Juju & Jordash live show then you’ll know that this Amsterdam-based Israeli duo are fiercesome evangelists for the power of improvised grooves and fluid rhythms, and the essential energy of their live jams is everywhere on their fourth album for Dekmantel. This is electronic music with an organic feel, rooted in atmospheric and fluid deep house as well as the freeform experimentalism of jazz. ‘Deadman’ is a gathering storm of rushing winds, pulsating synths and fizzing beats; elsewhere, on ‘L-Motion’, Juju and Jordash run a warm bubble bath of emotional pads and fill it with breaking waves and dubby guitar licks.
