Veteran DJ Jon K comes out swinging on this eagerly awaiting mixtape for Manchester stable Shotta Tapes overseen by long-time compatriot Tom Boogizm. Long time monarch of the mixtape format, Jon’s turned out now venerated pieces for the likes of The Trilogy Tapes, Few Crackles and *that* Reel Torque mix that have come to represent the zenith of mind-boggling, 360° dance-floor abstraction in a category on its own. Here he strings together an unfathomable series of mutated, bass-heavy cuts spanning from the early 90’s right up to now, including some tantalising unreleased pieces set in the works for the freshly minted MAL label ran together with Elle Andrews (Souvenir). It’s the closest thing yr gonna get to experiencing Jon in the club, with the pressure of 18 months spent away from the dance floor building into a multi-faceated journey thru sludgy industrial drum bits, via early Bleep magic and seismic bass tremors, all spliced and diced with frightening, indomitable Shaolin style mixing skills. You know what to do!!! NO DIGI (Mint / New)
