Comment: artists under the Portugal-based
imprint Monster Jinx have expressed their feelings by using electronically
processed rhythms, nu/acid jazz and hip-hop aesthetic. The current 3-track issue
is produced by such artists as Taseh, dgtldrmr, NO FUTURE, DarkSunn and Ghost
Wavvves and does stylistically adrift across the terrains of hip-hop and world
music (the influences of ethnic music coming out from the Middle East and
Celtic cultural area). Peregrino is
the exception because of being predominant hip-hop outing by its nature in comparison
to the rest of the two tracks where coherent hip-hop energy surfaces due to
enchanting chanting and looping electronics flitting in around in a captivating
way. One is sure the music could be a decent candidate to be added to the list
of WOMAD, for instance. All in all, the result is an intriguing listening.
