Earlier this week, Brooklyn-via-Atlanta producer Jacob 2-2 returned to the King Deluxe label with a new EP. Entitled The Rec, the eight-track effort sees Jacob 2-2 offering six funky ADD-beat hybrids while Muta and Stephen Farris have been enlisted to rework a track which first appeared on the Brooklyn resident’s Herbivore LP, which also dropped via King Deluxe last year. Pulled from The Rec is “Central and Mountain,” a somewhat stoney production which laces its thick hip-hop rhythms with breezy chords and a number of vintage-streaked synth melodies—a run of crystal-like bells, MIDI flute, and gliding Moog-style leads among them—before eventually sneaking some slap bass into the mix. (As an extra treat, Jacob 2-2 tags a nice bonus beat onto the end of this one too). While “Central and Mountain” can be grabbed below, a fantastically toy-based video for the producer’s “Constuxon Time Again” track by animator/filmmaker Adam Brown can be watched in full after the jump.
