Rush Hour, the Amsterdam-based label dealing in house and beyond from the likes of FaltyDL, Virgo, Cosmin TRG and Tom Trago, this week releases the debut album by BNJMN.

Hitherto little-known, this young British producer has a very mature and well-honed sound that reminds us of Detroit-inspired UK techno and pre-lapsarian electronica from the early 90s. Plastic World is his first major offering following a couple of low-key single releases, and arose out of demos he sent to Rush Hour over a period of time. The glistening, utopian arpeggios of ‘Blocks’ set the tone: this is meaty, melodic dance music which is naive in spirit but slick in execution.

A fine album, then, and BNJMN a new talent to keep your eye on. More information and audio clips here.
