Animals by Jumping Back Slash
UK born, South Africa based producer Jumping Back Slash kicks off new London based record label CLUB YEKE with 7 track EP “ANIMALS”.
The label aims to present the most innovative and exciting underground electronic sounds, from the African Diaspora, via the Caribbean, Latin America, the UK and beyond. ANIMALS offers a new exploration into global club with a hard hitting statement of intent.
This 7 track musical journey through jungles, forests, and savannahs explores the brutality and beauty of wildlife,.Featuring collaborations with the Lesotho Shepherd poet Morena Leraba, bringing his native Famo style singing, rapping and poetry to tracks “ Tsemedi” and “Mantlapa en Litsiroane”.
Speaking about the forthcoming EP, JBS shared: “I wanted to make a record that felt like a dream in a jungle. A little psychedelic and connected to myths. I wanted it to feel like the end of ‘Apocalypse Now'. Nature reclaiming our houses, people receding into the trees. Surrounded by animals.”
The earthshaking BLUNT BLADES is the first single taken from ANIMALS, mixing gqom rhythms with a raw grime energy, just an example of how Jumping Back Slash infuses the styles and genres that influence him throughout the release.
South London to South Africa, this is CLUB YEKE.
