Like The Streets and Ms Dynamite, Un-Cut describe their music as “the soundtrack to growing up in modern Britain”. Fans of their Futurecut project may be disappointed by the lack of jungle on their debut, but “Skin II Skin” and “No Way” prove they still have one eye on the dancefloor. The former’s like The Neptunes getting jiggy while the latter layers seductive soul with digidub. Elsewhere, singer Jenna G gives Mary J Blige a run for her money, and producers Darren Lewis and 2D fuse widescreen R’n’B with wigged-out funk and nu-soul.
