Lil Jabba isn't like the rest of them. While they're busy joining the dots between house and techno or whatever's safe right now, he's throwing paint all over the page. He's not American, but he's affiliated with Chicago’s Teklife crew (DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad, etc.) and divides his time between Baltimore and Brooklyn, exhibiting his visual art, riding around with his bike gang and making some of the most hypnotic juke and footwork you'll ever hear. Local Action have been figuring out a release with him for over a year - eventually an EP wasn't enough, and they persuaded him to make it a full-length album, Scales. Some of Scales has already seen the light of day through Youtube or limited cassette releases, some of it is unheard. Some tracks sound cleaner than others; that's because they're newer. That's how these things work. What is consistent throughout Scales is the quality: across 12 tracks, Jabba flips, twists and inverts the footwork template with endless layers of samples, gurgled vocal tags, jazz licks and whatever else he feels like. These aren't trax, they're tapestries. "I promise you Lil Jabba has detail and grooves cornered" - The Needle Drop "Blew our collective mind" – FACT "His sinister juke stylings had me spazzing fairly quickly, elements of world music mixed with jittery beats chopped and reworked into something from the underworld of sound." - Electronic Beats "I listened to this track so many times, it’s hard to say if the music is making me anxious to hear more or turn it off." - Tiny Mixtapes
