Reviews & Discussion

Review by Franklin May 19, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Joshua's technical abilty stems from the fact that he co-designed MSP/MAX - the complex programme used as a stable studio component by Autechre and Aphex Twin amongst others.
Review by habit Aug 16, 2002
i strongly recommend nek salanet and lateral forces as jkc's strongest works (IMO). very much in the vein of basic channel's better releases, or scape's. if you like lyot, porter ricks, vainqueur, sutekh, pole, safety scissors, etc, you should check out this new talent. he covers not only rubbed out dub styles but clicky glitchy four on the floor tracks as well, and abstract sound sculptures, ripped up and rearranged idm chaos, you name it. one of my favorite artists to emerge on the scene, i have not been disappointed by any of his releases so far.
