Planet Mu have announced a full-length album by juke’s DJ Diamond.
Diamond, real name Karlis Griffin, is 24 and a key member of the Flight Muzik clique of producers, who the album – simply titled Flight Muzik – is named after.
Much has been made of juke’s rawness since it started to reach a wider audience outside America last year, but although the tracks on Flight Muzik are very much tracks, designed for mixing, production-wise they’re often lush, the blank space filled with sighing synths and almost brass-like bass sounds.
We don’t have a release date yet, but we’d expect August.
