FKOFd010

Having released our first American-produced EP a few months back with Bakirs brilliant FKOFd008, two releases later were following up with another American artist. Although Torrey is based in Bali these days, hes a producer weve long been a fan of - so much so weve had this EP scheduled since February We first started working with Juss B at the end of 2012, welcoming him to the MakeItGood x FatKidOnFire feature series with an outstanding guest mix and interview. Since then, weve gone on to release one of his tunes - Friction - on last years FKOFUn/Known01 and hosted a handful of his FKOF Frees (including last years Anathema and the more recent Evolve). Whenever we work with the producer, the response is always an overwhelmingly positive one; it seems both we and the FKOF audience cant get enough of him. 'Korrupt first suggested signing a Juss B FKOFd EP when he heard 'The Omen VIP' earlier this year. Weve always been keen on Torreys sound but we felt that track best epitomises why; haunting vocals, clattering percussion and a brick wall of sub. 'Braata' is another one of Torreys older tunes weve been sitting on for a while. Its a regular on the FKOF Sessions radio show and is always greeted by a roar of approval when its dropped on a system. You can hear why when the first drop rolls in, with its tight tribal drum work, spooky samples and a tsunami-like baseline that forces you to take note. 'Cerberus' is a slightly more laid-back affair, one that pulls for the vocals but combines them with rolling synths, reverbd drums and significant space between the elements. 'Boatland' is the newest tune of the four, one that authoritatively puts the Juss B stamp on the dubby vibe everyones producing at the moment. Of the four, 'Boatland' might just be our favourite track on the Juss B EP. Its sumptuous and sensual; a tune perfectly comfortable at home on the stereo or played out in a set. Separately, the four tracks on Torreys FKOFd EP invite repeat listens. Together, they represent why weve signed him. Its a brilliantly cohesive release, highlighting what the producer is capable of, and one were very proud of.
