No April Fools’ here: This DJ ASEXUAL release is hard as hell! When a jungle record starts with a classic rap sample, you know things are about to go off. I’m not trying to “sample snitch” here, people, but, on “DA GAME,” a sample of another rapper—a Memphis legend—comes in shortly after that first one, creating the perfect throughline between disparate regional moments of vintage hip hop. Everything is connected by the beautiful thing that is the chopped jungle breakbeat. The Florida-based producer keeps the energy up through this three-tracker, with plenty of sample flips, plenty of twisting breaks, and just enough synth pads to keep things from going off the rails entirely. Tip!
