'Just' is an exercise in style for various rhythmics, and that is something Cadik definitely has at his fingertips. The album - which is the second piece in the row of his full catalogue to be released on Chi Recordings - is built around some notorious drum sounds that one could ever squeeze out from robust oldschool machines. You'll surely notice the Roland TR 909, 808, 707, 606, if you are more into this business. But don't mind if not, just flow with the banging - humming kicks, jazzy rides then!
While in some tracks the hi-hats are running on top speed, bringing tension over the hip-hop base, in other cases you're driven to focus more on some melodies, thus the wavering balance of electronica and hip-hop levels off eventually. All in all, 'Just' is a tribute to the great drum machines of old times, and a great listening again from Cadik.
