Making his long-awaited return to Spatial, JLM Productions serves up another sizzling and varied concoction of atmospheric breakbeat goodness.A1 - UnravelingOpening with a blissful, playful melody which fades in and out of effects and padwork, Unravelling shows off an insanely crisp 2-step break at its core - definitely suited for thedancefloor with a buoyant bassline rumbling beneath the waves. The track leaps furtherinto life with JLM adding some additional drums to elevate the breaks further still, all withserene, harmonious melodies dancing around in the mix.A2 - Forced PerspectiveA purposeful melody opens Forced Perspective as JLM Productions unleashes a stellarblend of atmospheric bliss with a unique epic urgency. Sci-fi synthwork surrounds anenergetic selection of drums edited with trademark clarity as layers upon layers of synthintertwine dynamic patterns with ease. This is a great example of JLM's expansive suite ofi nfluences combining to create a deliciously detailed and unique whole.AA1 - Surface ScanLight cymbals commence a DJ-friendly intro to the second track, Surface Scan. Both rousing and deep, smooth padwork leads into a drop which brings with it long, whooshing melodic synths and crunchy stacked breakbeats. As the atmosphere develops, JLM addsin a bunch of effects and subtle, sumptuous sci-fi synthwork, strings and more to complete another masterpiece from a true pillar of "old school brand new" methodology.AA2 - Mixed MotiveStraight into a serving of subdued breaks perfect for the intro, JLM rounds off this stunningEP with Mixed Motive. This is a track which explores the atmospheric drum & bass landscape in style. Our creatively-edited breaks soon evolve into a crescendo of joyous drum patterns with an old 720-style stabby melody punctuating the mix while deep &melodic basslines jostle below, adding dense texture to a stunning piece of music.
