The drumfunk genius Data General makes a welcome return to Omni Music after his incredible work on Pinecone Moonshine. He's back doing what he does best; bemusing the listener with his intricately weaved sounds. 'Smile When You Say Nasty Words' instantly sets the tone for the EP with its freeform stabs of funk and evolving drums that narrate the journey. You would never think a marine creature would be capable of such a rhythmic work out but 'A Family of Jellyfish' will prove you wrong as they wrap their tentacles around an old discarded drumkit found at the bottom of the sea. 'Blues Riff' effortlessly merges drumfunk with classic Warp records-esque harmonics, creating a novel and original foray into sound. The EP ends not with dots and dashes as the track title would suggest, but with another drumfunk journey into twisted breaks and living snares. This is an EP with all the elements that make Jungle what it is; breaks, bass & jazz funk influences, while at the same time being almost nothing like Jungle, simply existing in its own form. Omni Music are looking forward to what mayhem Data General can unleash next.
