One of Jamaica’s most radical producers of the past decade and more, you all know Gavsborg for his deadly run of rhythms for dancehall royalty and a coterie of Manchester best; DDS, Swing Ting, Jon K et al.
Now based in Berlin, Gavsborg chases up a 2023’s solo album here with a wicked beat tape knit from unreleased studio action, warping and cultivating his dancehall roots along dare-to-differ planes of curiosity that intersect aspects of broken beat, electro, balmy soul music, and madnesses that just don’t have a name yet. It all derives from that indomitable Jamaican drive to ball forward, but never lose sight of the ‘floor, animating limbs with a procession of outright freaky and spicy moves on the front that reach an apex of almost flashcore french tekno – we shit thee not – and out into polyrhythmic hot-steppers, before simmering it down to strutting reggae soul music and plans of bleeping deep house disco kinda like Bobby Konders’ NYC Nu Groove flexes.
