On ADJ’s latest release for Strange But Dance Music, the line between heavy electro/breaks and experimental electronic music blurs to its most surreal form. The esteemed UK artist, Andy David Jaggers (aka ADJ), presents a relentless six-track trip that grips the listener from the opening notes of “From A By Gone Future” and doesn’t loosen its hold until the electrifying, robo-funk finale of “Karma.” Between these striking sonic landmarks, including the gritty allure of “Gremlinzzzz” and the industrial murkiness of “Imhotek,” Jaggers plunges deep into uncharted terrain. Tracks like “Phre….shhhh” showcase a master of grit and glitch, carving a path through jagged textures and intricate rhythms. The title track stands as a boundary-defying high-tech/no masterpiece, weaving hypnotic mechanical-bleep patterns that linger long after the music fades. Another sterling testament to Jaggers’ prowess as a producer, this extended player pulses with innovation and intensity.
