The restless and visionary Swedish producer and bassist Petter Eldh – one of the most vital and sought-after voices in European jazz and experimental beat music – returns with Projekt Drums vol. 2, a high-definition evolution of his detailed beatcraft. Highly acclaimed for his prolific work with Django Bates, Jameszoo, Kit Downes and others, Eldh assembles a powerhouse trio of drummers – James Maddren, Savannah Harris, and Richard Spaven – to push his rhythmic world further. The result is a dense, pulse-driven record shaped by low-end design, breakbeats, and interwoven melodic fragments.

At its core, this is a breakbeat record – stretched, twisted, and reimagined. Influences run deep from the beat-science of J Dilla, Madlib, and Flying Lotus to the drum’n’bass architecture of Roni Size and Squarepusher. Projekt Drums, vol. 2 draws equally from hip hop’s swing, jungle’s velocity, and the jagged edges of experimental jazz. The album is built on circular logic – in the grooves, the sequencing, and the loops.

Sheet Music for Nod Yorc is available to download with Vinyl and Download format.
