With the release of Greenball 3.5 on Fieldwerk Recordings
Jel has further established himself as one of the most solid
producers of our time. Each song crafted on a SP1200 and
meticulously laced with live MPC drums, leading to an
unmistakably distinct feel features an industrially grimy
sound yet the craftsmanship hints at a profoundly nimble
dexterity on the pads.
Much like the other Greenball albums 3.5 slices through the
muck and mire like a brooding symphony, but what separates
this project from the others is the intensity in which the
message is delivered. Songs like Montro, Shock Lock and
Ignition Key snap hard with crunchy boom-baps, and one
would be hard-pressed to call them anything less than
classic Jel. Eclip, Bloop Bit and 94’s provide a nice
melodic counterbalance to the hard edge, but even those
smack with a certain sort of understated venom. Greenball
3.5 sits 13 tracks deep with each song moving hard and fast
which makes putting it on repeat a must
