Review by Jason Voss

Gridlok’s T Monk Time Elastic – A Drum n Bass Gem from Down Under Alright, let’s get into this. Gridlok’s T Monk Time Elastic is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released in 2010 via Cyanide Recordings outta New Zealand, it's a tight little package of drum n bass goodness. Now, I’m not gonna pretend like I’ve listened to every single track religiously, but there are moments here that stick with ya. And yeah, credit where it’s due—R. Powell wrote, produced, and engineered the whole thing. That’s gotta be some kinda multitasking wizardry right there. First off, let’s talk about “Time Elastic.” It’s the kind of tune that grabs your attention without even trying too hard. The beats bounce around like they can’t decide whether they wanna chill or go full throttle—and honestly? That tension works. There’s this jittery energy running through it, like the music itself is elastic, stretching and snapping back into place. You feel it in your chest when the bass drops, and suddenly you’re nodding along before you even realize what’s happening. It’s catchy as hell but doesn’t overstay its welcome—it just hits and gets out, leaving you wanting more. Then there’s “T-Monk,” which feels like the cooler, slightly mysterious cousin of “Time Elastic.” This track leans heavier into the atmospheric side of things, with these eerie pads floating over razor-sharp breaks. What makes it memorable for me is how unpredictable it feels. Just when you think you’ve got a handle on where it’s going, something shifts—maybe a new layer of percussion kicks in, or the melody takes a weird detour. It keeps you guessing, and honestly, that’s refreshing in an era where so much electronic music feels formulaic. Now, I’ll admit, I didn’t expect much at first. Drum n bass isn’t exactly breaking new ground in 2010, right? But Gridlok pulls it off by keeping things raw and unpolished enough to sound genuine. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s just making the wheel spin faster and funkier than most other folks could pull off. Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Listening to this album feels like being inside someone’s brain while they’re building a spaceship out of Legos. Weird analogy? Sure. Accurate? Absolutely. If you’re into drum n bass—or just good music—you should definitely give T Monk Time Elastic a shot.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The album *T Monk Time Elastic* by Gridlok is a one-person powerhouse. Released in 2010 in New Zealand, every track was written, produced, and engineered by R. Powell. It’s a Drum n Bass gem with just two tracks, *Time Elastic* and *T-Monk*, but it packs a punch. Sometimes less really is more!
