Projekt Drums Vol 2

The restless and visionary Swedish producer and bassist Petter Eldh - one of the most vital and sought-after voices in European jazz and experimental beat music - returns with Projekt Drums, Vol 2, a high-defnition evolution of his detailed beatcraft.

Highly acclaimed for his prolifc work with Django Bates, Jameszoo, Kit Downes and others, Eldh assembles a powerhouse trio of drummers - James Maddren, Savannah Harris, and Richard Spaven - to push his rhythmic world further. The result is a dense, pulse-driven record shaped by low- end design, breakbeats, and interwoven melodic fragments.

At its core, this is a breakbeat record - stretched, twisted, and reimagined. Influences run deep from the beat-science of J Dilla, Madlib, and Flying Lotus to the drum'n'bass architecture of Roni Size and Squarepusher. Projekt Drums, Vol. 2 draws equally from hip hop's swing, jungle's velocity, and the jagged edges of experimental jazz. The album is built on circular logic - in the grooves, the sequencing, and the loops.
