KID LIB Vinyl & CDs

Review: Kid Lib is an alias of Sheffield-based jungle producer Kenny Pitman, a breakbeat lifer with a hefty salvo of deadly wares to his name. Now he's nurturing a specific approach with his No Amen label, demanding that all tunes avoid the omnipresent Amen break as a means of pushing artists to dig a little deeper and deliver a more varied sound. Pitman kicks things off with two advanced cuts of breakbeat acrobatics, but even beyond the drums these tunes are teeming with fresh ideas and sonic flourishes that confirm Kid Lib as one of the most essential operators in the modern-day jungle scene.
