it only took 25 years for the kids to start making 90's Squarepusher jazz n'bass again! The prodigious keyboard and drum duo procured a sound that only seemed possible by way of a talented hip-hop producer–an incredible time feel, unconventional beats, not to mention neo-soul and gospel-stretching harmonies. Their skills didn’t go unnoticed, and the two soon joined the Thundercat and Anderson Paak creative circle, performing alongside Thundercat and Ariana Grande for a special Adult Swim performance. Now, as the flagship for Paak’s new record label, Apeshit, the duo prove their worth on their impressive first full-length album, NOT TiGHT.
Highly anticipated by YouTube-obsessed musicians everywhere, NOT TiGHT is a barrier-bashing blend of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. The musicianship DOMi and JD BECK showcase here is phenomenal, and their age only compounds it. The musicians are both in their early 20s. With such a short time, it’s remarkable how many practice hours the two have logged. DOMi’s blistering keyboard solos are jaw-dropping, and JD BECK’s unconventional breakbeat grooves are head-scratching. And the chemistry between the two is electric and youthful.
