Usually a turntablist record invariably ends up as a subtle chill out affair or as an intense insider demonstration of turntable trickery where the DJ and his technique overshadow the “music”. Toronto DJ duo inside-A-mind prefer the former over the latter for both their smoked out live sets as well as for their meticulously planned but laidback recorded material, so it’s no surprise that ProF (aka Professor Fingers) continues down this road for his first solo outing. Using turntables, a sampler and some effects equipment, ProF has created an atmospheric landscape in which this Superorganism can grow and evolve. The only drawback is the intro. With little music involved, it’s a tad long at two and a half minutes, especially considering the rather short overall running time of 13 minutes and some change for the whole EP. Still, the final running time is a nice length for a live routine, and the brevity makes it a perfect sampler for those who opt for the free download; for those who want a little more, the limited edition CD version comes with an extended intro, more music, and slick floppy disk packaging. Whether it’s the free taste test or the tasteful retail release, Superorganism is worth a listen for fans of instrumental hip hop and turntablist records.
