MH-083 Jealov - Nyche EP  The ever hard to define Jealov return with Nyche EP, their latest collection of left-field R&B morphing strain of dubstep. Each of the five tracks are intricate beds of sonic abstraction that pile ideas on top of each other until the productions feel like they are about to buckle. The stuttering vocal samples, perfectly placed moments of silence, and mutant drum programming give nods to the production styles of Burial, Mount Kimbie and EP-era James Blake without loosing the melancholic, one-of-a kind sound that defined in their debut EP, Framework and their companion bootleg release, Translations. Jealov's Nyche EP is an off-center, floor-rattling and complicated collection of wobbly bass, thick synths and ambiguously danceable beats. |

| Reviews Summary |
| Great stuff. This is the music we need for the night. Awesome times ahead! - The Rusty Blog / One of the most intriguing slices of broken soul electronics I’ve heard in recent months - Cyclic Defrost / Jealov cultivates its sound gradually, developing it from abstract fragments into concrete landscapes combining fragments from memories of musical past, travels around the world, and the air itself - Dead Music |

| Belgium’s Jealov is coming out with a new record, the “Nyche EP”, a five-song collection of hybrid styles — mixing electronics, dub-step, hip-hop beats, and staccato vocal samples into a beautifully dark twist. My favorite is that sweet flow the band gets at the 2:03 mark, when all the screeches, howls, and beats gel together. Jealov are Brussels trio Yann-Alex Janssens, Mathieu Seynaeve, and Rick Roels. - Their Bated Breath |
