J. Albert, a versatile NYC producer, showcases his talent on 1080p's imprint. He can create everything from grime beats as DJ Osom to jungle rhythms on Black Opal. For his debut here, he takes inspiration from classic NYC house. The result is loose, jazzy percussive grooves that will get the dance - floor moving. It's like Soho's 'Hot Music' with a 2016 twist. Tracks like 'Pangs' with its skittering beats, 'All In' with scattered breaks, 'Strictly J' with off - kilter bumps, and the low - key banger 'For SOHO' are all stand - outs. During production, he was influenced by Buddy Rich, Bill Evans, and Jeremy Steig, and it clearly shows. Music label: 1080p 2016. Reviewed by Y3K 08/2016.
