Amsterdam-based duo JUJU & JORDASH return with the TIME SLIP E.P. - their second release of the year on Real Soon. The title track recalls those half-forgotten dreams of positivity and optimism inspired by early US House music… a nostalgic arrangement of arpeggiated synths, high string lines, analogue drum machines and a 1980s vintage, New Order-like stepped bassline. HOUSEMUZIK 1,2,3 takes us into much dark territory, dragging a similar palette of sounds into a dense psychedelic mix of acid guitar, pitched down demonic vocals and disorientating spacial effects. Don’t listen to this with the lights off! FAJR DUB is an epic, stoned dub collage built around classic Space Echo delay & feedback tricks, spectral voices and a shifting synth bass pattern, all underpinned by a soft pulsing backbone reminiscent of Rhythm & Sound productions. JUJU & JORDASH met in Haifa, Israel and are currently based in Amsterdam. Their previous releases include THE HUSH E.P. (Psychostasia Recordings, 2005) and BLUE PLATES (Real Soon, 2007). They have upcoming releases on Underground Quality and Aesthetic Audio.

Groove Mag (GER): “Platten von Juju und Jordash scheitern oft kurz vor der Grenze, an der sich die Spreu vom Weizen trennt. Dieses Mal verhält es sich glücklicherweise anders. Der Titeltrack ist eine warmherzige Hommage an US-amerikanischen Gründer-House. Bobby Konders würde seine Socken ausziehen. „Housemuzik 1,2,3“ wirkt dagegen leider wie abstrakte Schunkelei und ist viel zu arty für die Party. Versöhnlicher geht es dann beim „Fajr Dub“ zu. Space-Echo-Marathon-Musik, die sich erst ganz zum Schluss in voller Blüte offenbart. GJ”

Wire Mag (UK): “Once again, London's Real Soon label comes with the business. Juju & Jordash are from Amsterdam and it shows. The sunnily arpeggiated title track of the Time Slip EP, fleshed out with slowly pacing 808 bass and wispy chords, is just the kind of homage to Midwestern American dance music that the Dutch do so well. But there's also a hint of the waterlogged city in the suffocating air of skunk that hangs over the EP's two more experimental tracks. Housemuzik 1,2,3, despite its title, is a slow grind suffused with acid rock guitar soloing, ghostly grumbling, a bubbling synthesizer patch and reverbing thunderclaps of a guitar amp being kicked. Only slightly less cosmic is Fajr Dub, a sprawling exercise in delay and feedback that's thick with haunted voices. In the very back of the room, a tiny hi-hat tries to make itself invisible, as though the séance was just too much for its thin skin. Review by Philip Sherburne THE WIRE September 2007 issue ”
