The legend returns ...one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the game.


...New Forms (with Reprazent) is perhaps the landmark album of the genre. On the release, Size finessed hectic jungle beats with jazz, hip-hop, and strutting soulful elements, in unexpected musical combinations that could soundtrack the rave as much as the morning after.


Tight, consistent and musically ambitious, the two-record set is filled with fast, clipped beats brought to life with a panoply of live and sampled sounds...


...one of electronic music’s most eclectic ears.


...the gem that showed the world that this form of music can properly incorporate jazz, hip-hop, and live instrumentation, ultimately creating some captivating material.


...a benchmark for the speedy, aggressive, futuristic dance noise formerly known as jungle. RONI SIZE TOUR DATES
