Classical Curves makes instrumental grime and house hard, spacious and strangely sculptural. Jam City uses chrome-bright surfaces and negative space to hold the rhythms tense, with absence doing as much work as impact. 'Hyatt Park Nights' runs in two parts, the second half the length of the first. That is why it handles its own ideas.
