Shadow Bandz by CURSXR
For our 6th release, CURSXR explodes into the Joog Music catalog with his “Shadow Bandz” EP. Coming out of Chicago, he flexes his well developed music taste with his debut on Joog Music. The opening track “Tunnels”, starts us off right with a ruff n’ rugged jungle tune carried by a dreamy synth. This gentle sound guides us straight into the middle of a circle at a dance battle. This bad boy gets straight to the point with the choppage only to flip the beat into a groovy footwork rhythm. This is followed by “Lando”, another jungle slammer that borrows from a variety of Chicago influenced soundscapes until we switch into a militant type of beat that lets you know that his time is here! The next track “Godsake” is an absolute masterclass on how sexy Jungle can be. This track will have you feeling like everything IS gonna be alright. Take a deep breath, count to four and let it out because CURSXR has your back. The man has such mastery over sounds that he is able to seamlessly jump between Jungle and 160 styles. “23 Til Infinity” is no exception. The soulful keys have us feeling alright. Close your eyes and feel the good vibrations radiating from this record. “Love For Me” has a classic Chicago feel to it with its tasteful sample selection and bounce. Diva vocals, sexy keys, and a 4x4 beat is gonna shake up any dance it gets rinsed at. We close this journey out with the very tastefully nuanced “Artless”, a jazzy little number with rolling 808’s and high energy keys. A moody track that is as groovy as it is busy. CURSXR truly challenges the listener to footwork while scratching their chin. Full of jazz samples, booming 808’s, and some of the finest jungle breaks he could find, this release pulls from Chicago’s rich musical heritage and offers it back to you in a refreshing manner.
