When aiming for fame, singles on vinyl are about as helpful as short stories: lovers of the genre collect them on their shelves, the rest of humankind couldn’t care less. Hence, Jeremiah Jae isn’t making it easy for Warp when celebrating his debut there without an LP. However, in a world of off-the-wall thinkers, three singles might sound pretty down-to-earth when representing a new label. The limited nugget is called »Dirty Collections« and has eight tracks to offer. Let’s call them sketches, really, which can’t come as a surprise when thinking of the Chicago-based beatmaker’s output. But even Jeremiah Jae would normally consider tracks like »Outer Onto Other« to be wastage. Especially, since all these releases remain thready, even when packed onto the same record. Frankly: I can’t think of a single situation in which I’d want to listen to this sound. »Fun« might have become a good track, considering its muddy sampling and its clear rhythms, if Jeremiah Jae hadn’t turned it all off after only one and a half minutes. The instrumentals are actually leaching out, while being bent between Abstract Hip Hop and Electronic. While his record »Raw Money Raps« found its way directly into one’s auditory system, these three parts evoke not much more than a shrug. Average. Disappointment. Whatever. Unfortunately, no one will become a lover of the genre by listening to »Dirty Collections«.
