John Rolodex - The Soldier EP

Review by Matthew McCarrick

The Soldier by John Rolodex is a powerful and intense album that showcases the producer's skills in creating hard-hitting and atmospheric drum and bass tracks. From the opening track "The Soldier" to the closing "Endgame," the album takes the listener on a journey through a dark and dystopian world, where heavy beats and eerie synths create a sense of tension and urgency.

The album features collaborations with several talented artists, including Khadija, who provides haunting vocals on "The Rainmaker," and DJ SS, who adds his signature touch to the track "Back To Basics." The result is a collection of tracks that are both diverse and cohesive, with each one contributing to the overall mood and atmosphere of the album.

One of the standout tracks on The Soldier is "Life Cycle," which features a hypnotic melody and a driving bassline that builds to a frenzied climax. Another highlight is "The Jackal," which combines eerie pads and distorted bass with a relentless drum pattern, creating a sense of impending danger.

About John Rolodex

"Music was a main feature of the household growing up. I was right into all kinds of music throughout my life, but nothing compares to the first moment I heard those rolling amens." John describes a turning point in late 1995 when he first discovered jungle/drum and bass on a late night radio show. "It was Dillinja's 'Ja Know Ya Big' followed by Source Direct 'Snake Style'. I just knew. I had this feeling deep inside.
