Jon Convex - Pop That P
Label / [NakedLunch]
Cat # / NL011
Released / December 2011
Style / Electro
Rating / 3.5

They have their differences, but you can tell that Jon Convex and Boddika split off from the same group: they both run on that jittery electro thread and both do it primarily through hardware. But where Boddika's anaerobic analogue is bone-dry and sometimes suffocating, Convex's are rich and textural, almost liquid—though still determinedly greyscale.

It's that latter aspect that makes Convex a perfect fit for Irish imprint [nakedlunch] (also home to, you guessed it, Boddika), and his tracks here carve a path slightly darker than his ebullient 3024 debut. They also sound less like Boddika than "Convexations" did—"Pop That P" is a writhing hip-hop monster, with ticking snares that jump with syncopated glee. The somewhat melancholic B-side "Your Mind (Or Mine)" sounds more like his "Radar" single on NonPlus+, that same blackened twitch but painted with synth brushstrokes. It's a solid addition to an utterly reliable label and a small step forward for a producer whose sound is steadily and confidently moving away from his closest peer.

Mon, 19 Dec 2011^ i get what youre saying , dunno what 'bass music' is but it sounds stupid
Pop that p sounds like it was inspired by the Dj Assault end of things , which isnt a bad thing as sexist dance music that doesnt take its self serious is nice to hear once in a while.

Mon, 19 Dec 2011Like Pop That P, but I think I'd like it a lot more without the vocal sample. Starting to get a bit sick of repetitive vocals (and vocals in general) in dance music to be honest.

It's interesting to see how 'bass music' has gone from being completely dominated by feminine r'n'b vocals for about three years to finally seeing some sort of a balance (if you call 90-10 'balance') with the spate of hyper masculine hip-hop vocals in the more Electro inspired end of things. I guess I have more of... More
