Slick Jamez – STEPS For QUARANTINE [EP]

Slick Jamez’s STEPS for QUARANTINE album is a project that flourishes in an eclectic middle-ground that sits between the stark shimmer of 2000Black-influenced broken-beat and the more vibrant hip-hop sounds of latter-day DJ Vadim. Jamez has a knack for stacking layers of subtly shifting textures into richer arrangements that have a slightly mechanized, “future shock” appeal to them. STEPS for QUARANTINE‘s major appeal is in its “man-vs-beat-machines” deftness and how it brings to mind images of a “mad scientist” styled producer/beatmaker tweaking synthesizers and tapping drum machines in his home studio for hours on end. For a set that’s meant to reflect the different stages of dealing with grief, the album is consistently filled with infectious energy. Even the darker-toned “Guilt” moderates it’s heavy thudding march with a swaying, finger-snapping groove. And the album-opening “Shock” is nothing short of unadulterated shimmering energy. Other standouts include a gleaming ride down the Autobahn called “Upturn“ and the meditative “Words“. All things considered, Slick Jamez has put together an uncommonly cohesive electro-funk/hip-hop concept album with STEPS for QUARANTINE .

“This 7-phase anthology is all about how to deal with our mental space and navigate grief.
Sometimes being stuck can actually push us through to a rebirth. When we can get over the
grief of our past and shine bright in the dark.” – Slick Jamez
