             Canadian multi-talent juSt b returns to UK imprint 
             Configurations of Self, following her recent Bedrock EP, for her 
             3rd collaboration with Leeds-based producer & label head, 
             Alexander Church, welcoming back James Welsh & Italian producer 
             Vincenzo on remix duties. With previous support from some of the 
             underground's finest, including John Digweed, Nick Warren, Jamie 
             Stevens, Animal Trainer, Gai Barone, and BBC's Erol Alkan & Tom 
             Ravenscroft, the innovative, psychology-inspired label & its 
             experimental offshoot, Life Scripts, has seen consistent 
             exceptional output in just a few years. For the Configurations 
             series, that translates now to the 16th EP since its inception 
             in October 2019. juSt b again demonstrates her deep-thinking 
             lyrical prowess with a new pair of elegantly crafted mindful 
             narratives, themed around renowned Canadian Transactional 
             Psychologist, Eric Berne, fused with Church's signature rolling 
             melodies. The first original, 'Ego States', begins by probing 
             the depths of our most basic social interactions with the 
             question 'what's really going on' within the parent-adult-child 
             dynamic & the often negative lifelong behaviours resulting from 
             confusion & shifting of these roles. James Welsh, a frequent 
             studio partner & regular on the label, transforms the six 
             minutes into a bold futuristic dance cut, boasting an acidy 
             electro bass riff and sultry vox chop which adds a layer of 
             warmth & moodiness to this edgy rework. Next up, 'Games People 
             Play' and its jabbing tribalesque kick/snare combo commence a 
             more sinister portrayal of the various manipulative mind & power 
             games we all play in our daily relationships. An eerie hypnotic 
             synth line twists its way beyond the drop, creating a more 
             nebulous atmosphere, perfect for the darkest of dingy dance 
             floors. Rounding out the 4-tracker, Berlin's Vincenzo once again 
             adds his classic soulful swing, giving the ominous original a 
             lighter, playful bassline & airy daytime feel, while preserving 
             juSt b's vocal impact. Configurations 16 represents another 
             intellectual & provocative offering of standout productions from 
             four high calibre artists.
