A new year and a new label for Jon Convex with the self referential Convex Industries launching in style with two solo cuts from the Instra:mental man. Both "Bump And Grind" and flipside "Closer" demonstrate a growing confidence in Convex's self styled "Electronic Party Music" which is better than the "post whatever" or "UK treble music" umbrella terms. The finely sculpted production techniques of his Non Plus output alongside Al Bleeky are melded with a sense of fun via vocals pitched beyond recognition, glitched textures and almost twee melodic touches (the A Side in particular). The friskier "Closer" is our favourite here, utilising and twisting the vocal sample so it becomes an active part of the burrowing electro rhythms.
