Jahcoozi

I’ve been getting some electronic/hip hop type releases of the Anticon-ish variety lately, and kind of enjoying them, though I’m not sure I have the context to say anything very interesting about them. Not that that’s stopped me in this case, from reviewing the very sexy, dub-influenced Barefoot Wanderer (not actually on Anticon, but rather the German imprint Bpitch Control). In Blurt yesterday, I observed “The extra ‘h’ in Jahcoozi puts god in a hot tub, which is maybe a metaphor for the way that the band blends the sensual with the spiritual, the machine with the soul. These are body moving tunes that open a window to the sublime…not a bad trick at all.”

The whole review is here


Here’s the video for “Barefoot Dub”
