With his own productions rightfully garnering considerable attention and praise, young Bristol-based producer Joker teams up with fellow Bristolian Ginz for this new release on his own Kapsize, continuing his recent stint of 21st-century gfunk-inspired dubstep/grime hybrids. Purple City is simple and to the point, with a catchy synth melody carried by hard-hitting drums and a hefty dose of sub bass, while Reup on the flip opts for a more in-your-face approach with a wobbly but nonetheless catchy bassline and some memorable switches. The success of Joker’s most recent releases will no doubt detract from this latest 12”, which ends up suffering from a certain déjà vu despite its strong overall finish and quality.
