  • Apron Records boss Steven Julien (aka Funkineven) follows up 2016’s Fallen LP with a mini-album of redline analog house rhythms laced with loose autobiographical themes. It’s as if Julien’s retrofitting acid house and saturated jazz-funk as the soundtrack of his ancestors’ migration from the West Indies to the UK, but in a way thatĀ makes perfect sense and isn't bratty: ā€œThe influence my family has given me growing up and my ancestors from Africa to Native Indians from the Caribbean, has all played a big part in the music I create.ā€ The record is also a dedication to Japanese engineer and Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi, who passed away last year, and every track on Bloodline features the Kakehashi-designed TR-808 drum machine in some capacity. ā€œHunt" starts off Side A with some Twin Peaks-esque lost-in-the-woods horrorshow biz, before ā€œRoll Of The Diceā€Ā comes in hot with a rather nihilistic Sequential Circuits Drumtraks riddim; paired with that sinister acid line it sounds like what Dam-Funk’s Rhythm Trax sessions may have yielded ifĀ he had an ounce of skunk and a 303 on hand. More electro drum track madness on the title track before a pair of Terminator chords seep in and elevate the tension. ā€œQueen Of Ungilsanā€ is the most sublime cut on offer, taking full advantage of the 808's rimshots and cowbells, laced with a thumping arp bassline and some heavenly chords sourced by Detroit wiz Byron The Aquarious. Julien sends you on your way with a squirmy bassline and more divine jazz chords on B-side closer ā€œIdk.ā€ He’s literally one of only a small handful of producers making music like this (don’t you dare call it l_-f_ h___e) that are still cop-on-sight in 2018. Six tracks total, housed in full-color pic sleeve with printed inner sleeve and liner notes. Recommended.
