JAH GUMBY Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Aloha Got Soul is pleased to announce Bitta Attack, the newest release from Jah Gumby. Based in Palolo Valley, Honolulu, the producer and multi-instrumentalist brings shimmering musical diversity and crate-digging sensibility to his four-track EP. Two high-energy, progressive reggae tunes, 'Dine An' Dash' and 'Influencers.m.h.', trace a link to his 2018 release Humility: The Vibes of Jah G, a double LP that presented Gumby's masterful ability to craft rich arrangements with overwhelming instrumental density. Continuing this tradition, Bitta Attack hears an expansion of Gumby's galaxy, introducing listeners to his love of freestyle music, the electronic New York dance genre made popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Both tracks derive heavily from freestyle's rhythm, cadence and synth-heavy production, though it fuses this with Jah Gumby's already established yet unique style, resulting in something unlike anything you've ever heard before.
