QPE - Gentrifried, The Agriculture

If there's one thing that hip-hop can't get enough of, it's a set of initials. From KMD and NWA through to LL and DMC, a rack of lexical components is a sure fire way to earn yourself some hippedy-hop credentials - a fact that evidently hasn't passed the attention of Kacy Wiggins aka QPE. An acronym for Quiet Personal Electronics, QPE sees Wiggins mixing together a digital soup of old-skool beats, IDM flourishes and a full-house of NYC underground sounds. Labeled as Hip Hop Noveau, 'Gentrified' is the kind of album that could happily be played out in the kind of blue-lit edifice that the record chooses to mock - yet this is in no way to damn with faint praise. Rather, it acknowledges the tacit understanding displayed by Wiggins that instrumental hip-hop can be more than a head-nodding exercise for the baggy-jeans & bong brigade - being able to engage on both head-phones and to a wider audience out for a good time. Opening with the loping electronica of 'Satellite', QPE goes on a genre plundering journey - taking in slow-jam funk ('Stare'), shimmering hip-hop ('Kitty') and lurching beats 'Donna Martin Graduates'; coming across like a less dusty Blockhead, or a more focused Aim. Sloppy in a good way, 'Gentrification' is the kind of record that overflows with sun-burnt charm and makes you realise that grandstanding instrumental hip-hop can still charm your pants off...
