As we approach our final label release of 2015, we look back at the previous six editions to enjoy the sonic quality brought by artists like Fion, Black Girl/White Girl and ASA808. The player that sees the last feature of the year is from British duo JammHot, coming out of Leeds and London to serve up two well-done originals, alongside remixes from Belfast two piece KoJam, and Soundspace regular CutOff!CutOff. Titled Lion Tamer EP, SSR007 comes as four tracks that are anything but tame, and with a wealth of fist bump worthy deep and tech it will no doubt smash sound systems for months to come. JammHot are certainly not strangers to being put on a pedestal, having released with Berlin mega-label Dirt Crew and Matt Tolfreys Leftroom Recordings, the boys have seen their fair share of attention. A trait they aim to build on with Lion Tamer EP. We see things start off with title track Lion Tamer, a relatively calm aesthetic eases us into the JammHot sound as were drenched in a deep tech hybrid of warm, crunchy grooves and subtle dub heaviness. The warm sub bass and resonantly active mid stabs play wonderfully off the drums to create a nice bridge between relaxing house sonics and a rough club-esque, second half. Track two comes in the form of Weapon. A devastatingly heavy, but yet unassuming blend of dark, soulful club vibes, pair that with the chunky tech bass and we see this one take the crown as the heavy hitter of the EP. The addition of heavily processed dub stabs and delayed vocal shots help this one come across as not just another house track. Entering the latter half of the four tracks, we kick off the remix portion, first up is Belfasts KoJam with a rendition of Lion Tamer. The KoJam duo do an excellent job of keeping with the character of the original, but adding their own personal modifications. Injecting harmonising flute samples and contrasting tribal grooves it turns into an eclectic tech banger. We finish off SSR007 with a label regular in Berlins CutOff!CutOff, returning for his 4th feature in just seven releases the German is becoming a much-loved figure of the Soundspace family. His dub techno mix of Weapon couldnt be further contrasting from JammHots sound, bringing his usual crisp drum hits and heavy kick and bass to the already chunky original. Putting the original melody through its paces he twists this one into a truly savage production.
