Dublin, Ireland producer Pitch 92 dropping an extended play of solo material under the Hove, East Sussex, United Kingdom imprint High Focus Records. Known for being the in-house beatsmith of The Mouse Outfit, he would go on to produce the group’s first couple full-lengths Escape Music & Step Steadier until getting to jump behind the boards throughout Verb T’s 8th album Good Evening from start to finish 11 months earlier. Commemorating the upcoming anniversary, he’s getting Lost in Space for a warmup to his own debut LP.
The title track by Confucius MC & Jehst starts off with both of them talking about the survey saying they’re both insane whereas “Plane Ticket” by Verb T smoothly speaks of his mind focusing on this very moment. “Dawn” by K S R & Sparkz takes a funkier approach to the beat talking about getting it on until the sunrise leading into the jazzy “1 Handed” composition. “Mystery” & “XPJ” finish us off with a couple more instrumental pieces, which one maintaining the jazz influences & the other going lo-fi.
Balancing his dexterity by having a cast of well-picked UK hip hop veterans to up-&-coming American artists rocking the mic during Side A of Lost in Space & taking a more compositional approach to things over the course of Side B, this EP begins a new chapter in Pitch 92’s career offering a glimpse of what he can do behind the boards showcasing the soulful Jaylib & Pete Rock-inspired sound he’d become known for a few years prior. The production accommodates each guest accordingly relying extensively on an MPC with every backdrop he uses, paving the way for a future discography of self-curated projects that’ll span out with time.
Score: 3.5/5
