Since his previous release for Alter (2010’s “A Romance Of 2 Planets” EP) Jamal Moss has hit a confident stride with his Hieroglyphic Being project and received a wider appreciation and acceptance of his work. In the last year he has partaken in a key performance at Unsound Festival, a random gig for the Wire magazine at the Royal Albert Hall, introduced Sun Ra’s Arkestra live onstage at the Barbican, made mixes for Soul Jazz, FACT and the Quietus and collaborated with newcomers like Ital and Holly Herndon. As a result it’s fair to say that interest in his work has broadened beyond the crate-digging, dance-loving freaks that have been following his output from the early days of his Mathematics label and word about his incendiary collage-style DJ sets has spread thanks to a Boiler Room set that confused the hell out of slightly more “conservative” viewers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF0fbiBLieI. ‘The Electronic Belt’ is his second release for Alter, and perhaps his most dancefloor orientated release for a good while. The EP is made up of three choice cuts from last years “Man With The Red Drum” transmission with each track bearing the signifiers of Jamal’s rough and distinctive production; melodies twisting themselves into psychedelic wormholes, raw kicks and toms that hit as hard and tight as walnuts. Yellow vinyl edition in 5 different coloured disco bags, mastered for vinyl by Stephen Bishop (Basic House / Opal Tapes).
