The New York Times hailed them as simultaneously "freakishly complex and virtuosic" and "relentlessly melodic", with an album that exemplifies their trailblazing take on jazz. After garnering a massive following online for their virtuoso covers (of Thundercat, Flying Lotus and MF Doom, among others) - the prodigious duo of French keyboardist DOMi and American drummer JD Beck were signed to APESHIT, Anderson .Paak’s imprint on storied jazz label Blue Note. This is where the pair would release their stunning 2022 album NOT TiGHT, which showcases not just DOMi & JD Beck’s nimble instrumental prowess (blistering keyboard solos and unorthodox breakbeat grooves abound), but their compositional acuity as well.

Blurring the lines between jazz, R&B and hip-hop, NOT TiGHT dexterously traverses tempos and genre boundaries. Featuring heavyweights like Thundercat, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mac DeMarco, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes and their own label boss - this album is a must-listen for newbies and old jazz heads alike. - The Analog Vault
