UNIIQU3
Mixmag Lab London
UNIIQU3 in the Mixmag Lab London is a full-throttle assault of Jersey Club, a genre built on speed, swing, and the sacred art of the vocal chop. This is music for dancing with aggressive precision, where the beat is a command and the only acceptable response is to 'bruck out'. The vibe is high-octane, inclusive chaos, a celebration of a regional sound that has gone global. She locks into a blistering average of 141 BPM, a tempo that turns every four-bar loop into a heart-racing call to action. The key of 12A is her playground, providing a bright, open foundation for the stuttering kicks, skittering snares, and soulful samples. Her mixing is rapid-fire and percussive, often using quick cuts and loop rolls to maintain a frenetic, ever-building energy.
The balance is heavily weighted towards the punchy mid-range and those iconic, skipping kick drums, with vocal samples serving as the primary melodic and emotional hook. It's a physically demanding, joyfully relentless style. The tracklist is a deep dive into the Jersey canon and its new-school iterations. She opens with DJ Jayhood's 'Heartbroken', a ten-minute marathon of pitched-up R&B anguish and relentless rhythm that sets the tone. MikeQ's 'The Ha Dub Rewerk'd' is a foundational, minimalist banger. DJ Melly Kavelli's 'Bruk Out Part 1' is a textbook example of the genre's raw energy.
The inclusion of the Sami Dee & Freddy Jones edit of 'Gypsy Woman' is a masterstroke, connecting classic house to the Jersey rhythm. Her own originals, like the sped-up 'RAHHHH', sit perfectly alongside edits of Rihanna and anthems like KiaBHN's 'Jersey Anniversary'. The journey is a non-stop sprint: launching with the emotional workout of 'Heartbroken', building to a peak of pure, unadulterated club pressure with tracks like 'The Ha Dub', and climaxing with the frantic, vocal-chop frenzy of her own 'RAHHHH'. A set that proudly represents the relentless energy of the Jersey sound.
