'Frijsfo Beats Volume 2' is the label's second various artists EP, marking a fruitful two years in existence, during which time support for Frijsfo's open-minded aesthetic has continued to grow.
The EP opens with a contribution from Geiom, irresistibly reworking the lead track from Kuoyah's recent ‘Angels Dub’ EP (FRJ006), raising a sweat with a stepping drum track and eking out key changes to expertly tighten up the cinematic drift of the original.
The much-championed Sully is now a regular on the roster, and he appears here with 'Saviour', originally distributed as a free download, but now served up as the properly mastered vinyl cut it deserves to be, maximising the effect of an intense bass exorcism in classic 2003 style. Sully’s unique talent for bewitching future 2-step beats is also in full effect, allied to trademark ricocheting samples and a glowing chord progression.
Point B continues to unearth hidden connections between Drexciya's militant funk and the rhythmic flex of 2-step garage on ‘Fornax’. If his gift for rewiring disparate conventions seems to create knotty musical puzzles at first, it always makes complete sense by the end.
Rising Nottingham-via-Bristol producer Sclist ties up a few threads with his remixed version of Lewis Hunter's 'Cut From The Wreckage'. Surgically enhanced breakbeats and trademark mechanised glitches take things into angular, suspensefully paced territory in suitably unique fashion.
