The Jak and Nico Babylon have been busy and have two split EPs dropping on the Dirty Blends label this month, and both are grimy house workouts. Dirty Blends presents a loose early house 12" with two standout tracks. First up is new associate Nico Babylon with a hypnotic, conceptual production built around vintage synths and syncopated rhythms that push jakbeat to the next level with meticulous craftsmanship. On the flip, 'This Nasty Possession' is a collaboration between The Jak and Nico, rooted firmly in the mid-80s Chicago underground sound, inspired by the Gherkin and Gene Hunt era. Every element was handcrafted with no samples used, thereby preserving the authentic, old-school vibe to perfection.
