Their : :' only ': ,: :, : commitment has been to lucidly fuse the mutant strains of the : :' past into the vaguelyfamiliar present. No ideas are original, ': ,: but theyÆre singularly creative artists who could only :, : comfortably exist in modern chaos, the strange invented future. : :' ': ,: :, : Released on Innovative Leisure, Zoospa is fiercely cohesive but : :' wildly varied. ItÆs a group effort casting a wide net of ': ,: brilliant collaborators (DAWN, Mykki Blanco, KingJet, :, : : :' Rochelle Jordan, Tkay Maidza), but ultimately guided by the ': ,: auteur visions of Edgar and Machinedrum. If many all-time great :, : duos are guided by a competitive rivalry, J-E-T-S discard that : :' sensibility to form a unified whole. If not in sound, they ': ,: channel the two-heads-one-brain spirit of a more danceable :, : Autechre or Outkast raised on the Belleville Three and first : :' wave IDM. If you heard Timbaland and The Neptunes in 1999, this ': ,: is what youÆd expect pop music to sound like 20 years later. :, : : :' ': ,: The genesis of J-E-T-S fittingly dates back nearly two full :, : decades. Machinedrum and Edgar first meet as teenagers on a : :' pivotal trip to Miami, one of their first-ever gigs outside of ': ,: the places they were raised (Edgar originally hails from :, : Detroit, Machinedrum : :' ': ,: from rural North Carolina). They immediately bonded over a :, : mutual love of Warp, Schematic Records, and Chocolate : :' Industries. A tight friendship was forged when both lived in ': ,: New York, but their first self-titled EP wouldnÆt drop until :, : 2012, by the time the pair had independently decamped to Berlin. : :' ': ,: :, : Eventually, they relocated to Los Angeles where their second EP : :' was recorded in 2015. The idea was always to record something ': ,: bigger and more expansive, but it wouldnÆt become a reality :, : until Edgar headed up the coast, eventually settling and : :' building a home studio in Portland. ThatÆs where Machinedrum ': ,: headed in the late summer of 2017 to cook up the tracks that :, : eventually became Zoospa. : :' ': ,: :, : In the first three days of recording, the pair wrote four songs : :' and expanded their conception of what they were capable of. The ': ,: spontaneous alchemical ease with which they created could only :, : come from being long-time kindred spirits. Zoospa is the product : :' of a constant search to discover the new. Whenever a session ': ,: became rote, theyÆd experiment with a unique format or a :, : different processùwhether it was spending an entire day making : :' samples, tinkering with a modular synth, or processing and ': ,: building drum kits. The result is an album that sounds like :, : little else: an organic creation of sacred rituals and wild, : :' ungovernable energy. ': ,: :, : : :' There is ôPotions,ö which chops and warps the militaristic funk ': ,: that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis once supplied for Janet Jackson. :, : ItÆs what Rihanna should be asking her A&Rs for her next album: : :' 32nd Century bass music with huge drums offering the propulsion ': ,: and thrust that SpaceX is permanently seeking. ôFire Flyö is :, : both gothic and gauzy, with pop synthesizers crushed into purple : :' cosmic dust. The album was produced in layers, starting with ': ,: basic tracks that sounded like futuristic R&B, but then :, : deconstructed and assembled with vintage instrumentsùencoded : :' with a new DNA that canÆt be decrypted. ': ,: :, : : :' ôLook Outö is a slice of post-trap futuristic R&B with a ': ,: traditional hip-hop breakdown that almost recalls vintage :, : turntablism. ôPlayö features exotic percussion and Mykki Blanco : :' breathing fire like the ideal soundtrack to a reboot of Paris ': ,: is Burning. ôOcean PPLö answers the question what would Aaliyah :, : sound like in 2019. While ôReal Truthö synthesizes jerkinÆ, : :' ratchet, hyphy and dance music into something that resembles ': ,: the avant-garde hip-hop beats that Edgar and Machinedrum have :, : made for Vince Staples and Azealia Banks. : :' ': ,: :, : Yet the proceedings feel quintessentially different and skewed : :' from anything past or present. 808 drum rolls are warped and ': ,: bent. Old samples offer a gritty sound. The melodies incorporate :, : ambient and new age synths. Effects from the æ70s and æ80s offer : :' welcomed scuffs and creases. This is the world of J-E-T-S, a ': ,: hybridization of different and distinct ideas, fearless, :, : fast-paced and full of telepathic communication, but playful and : :' without pretension. The future weÆd dreamed about, not the one ': ,: that we deserved. :, : : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 9 \/
