For a couple of blokes that met at a Mr. Scruff gig in Southampton in 2006, the Jellybass project could not have been better named. Jellybass are the duo known as Lo & Hz (aka DJ Chix and Joe) who received the ultimate accolade of getting their tracks played by their hero, the big Andy Scruff himself.

And then one of our favourite Canadian rappers, Abdominal (he of Abdombinal Workout) shows an interest in doing a vocal over one of the wobbliest tracks, that’s after he’s had his toast of course (how Mr. Scruff is that?).

Mr. Scruff has long had links with Do Right in Toronto so it seems even more appropriate that on the b-side there’s a very scruffian sounded mixture of Mr. Oizo and big band horn (‘Vulgar’) and a spaced out chill breaks skank called ‘Liquid Metal’.

Jellybass’ style of breaks to dub to Scruff (and now Hip-Hop) is defintely on the leftfield as their odd musical mix fails to fit into any neat genre box; ideal folks for fans of FLY global music to follow then!

Lots of great EPs about at the moment but don’t let this one pass you by; also watch out for some dubstep remixes that belong on the Naughty Step and there’s a few gigs coming up with the Canadian fat lip in May.

After the local disappointment of the Freerange Festival being cancelled, this is just the right vibe to put a smile on your face.
