We’re not sure who Balearic Skip is, or are, but we do know that the artist was responsible for one of Jolly Jams’ best moments of recent years – a chugging, pitched-down, saucer-eyed revision of Syvester’s ‘Mighty Real’ that first appeared two years ago. Hopes are therefore high for the Tribes EP, which marks the shadowy artist’s return to Jolly Jams. Opener ‘Chung’ is simply superb, with tactile, occasionally grandiose, mid-80s Simple Minds style synths, attractive electronic melodies and slowed-down vocals riding a throbbing, arpeggio-driven groove. ‘Theme From Judas’ is a sweeping, flash-friend disco instrumental that offers subtle winks towards the theme from ‘Shaft’, while closing cut ‘Tribes’ is a radically slowed-down, chug-tempo take on a familiar Frankie Goes to Hollywood favourite. Tidy!
