Review: Tibshelf - None More Rollers Vol.2 (None More Records)

If you've spotted a review note that says that the artist draws inspiration from his favourite producers like Lee 'Scratch' Perry, RZA and Basic Channel, you're be eager to get it.  

Taking Agile Experiments' elements of Malib/Perry on the album 'Loukoumades' (see review HERE) and moving into a warped bass heavy underworld, Tibshelf has excelled himself.

How can a track entitled 'Cruncher' be so ambient and menacing all at the same time?  Whilst 'Have Your Fun' goes even darker with a non-fun stretched vocal as if LSF didn't paid the electric bill.

You could say there's no logic to this as Tibself, who has performed at the Tusk Festival, can clear mix these disparate influences - throw in early Ninja Tune vs. The Prisoner - for the most dancefloor friendly track, 'Logic&Truth'.

 

Tibself (aka Lee Etherington) is clearly more of a Planet Mu/On-U-Sound fan for the obscure electronic and is a great companion to Vol 1's 3-tracker by Nooson & Johson.
