J. Tijn embarks on the eleventh expedition into the exotic lands of palm trees and blue skies with the dark and gritty ‘The Deluge’ EP. Expedition eleven features four jams packed of heavy drum rhythms, moody synth lines and ambient soundscapes.

J. Tijn – Half Empty Half Full EP [WNCL026]
J. Tijn makes a welcome return to the Cassette Library for his second EP on WNCL Recordings. Once again, the boy wonder explores musical worlds outside of his perceived comfort zone (”HEHF”), gets his bleep on (”Fat Controller”) whilst ensuring the die-hard raving crew are kept happy (”Malaria”). To round things off, we’re also treated to the next installment in the beat-heavy Decimated series (”Decimated #8”).
J Tijn – MOR [BDN005]
Hard techno advocate J Tijn is next up to supply Bedouin with a heavy hitting package of industrially charged techno entitled MOR. Lead track “Kanon VIP” best typifies that approach, a dense bassline throbs away unpredictably like an agitated wasp as Kuye lays down the drum machine pain. The title cut seems inspired by the Rotterdam school of sewer techno whilst “Shy” is anything but with Kuye going full speed ahead on the dirty synths and raw beats.
