ARTISTS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT: Jeesh

-

 

Based in the UK, multi genre artist and musician Jeesh has become one of my favorite artists of this month for a multitude of different reasons.

His music employs various different techniques and ideas from a multitude of sources such as other genres of music, films, television shows, his Gameboy and... cereal jars. No, I'm actually being completely serious.

To add to this, he is able to produce a heavy mix of stuff, ranging from drum and bass, dreampop, glitch house, hip hop and plunderphonics. Oh, and remixes of various things such as the first generation of Pokemon games. 

Thanks to the upbeat, positive vibe a lot of his music is able to emit with complete ease, you can stick on a few of his tunes after a hard day at school or work and feel relaxed, pumped or just happy. Along with this, his music is perfect for a lot of different occasions - deep, glitchy house grooves such as "Holding You" are fit for parties and fun scenarios. He himself stated that the track reminds him of "dancing next to the girl you have been wanting to be next to all night."

Other examples include "Cozy" a track recorded using a range of instruments and household items that feels like it could fit perfectly into a Nintendo game or just a nice summer day with your friends. On the flip side, short outings such as "Run" a fast paced liquid jungle track armed with sweet breaks, lush pads and a very ethereal vibe overall demonstrate the multitude of genres Jeesh is able to produce.

Despite not being as active today, his back catalog boasts an impressive selection of brilliant singles along with an EP released in December 2011 and a wonderfully interesting album Ware The Wild Fingz Are, which was released just days into 2013.

ARTISTS I LOVE: Daft Punk

  I feel like this one has been a LONG time coming. In today's blog post, I'd like to show my appreciation for French electronic music duo Daft Punk - who over the course of 28 years changed electronic music and released a string of incredible albums, each with their own unique styles which are equally appreciated not just by Daft Punk's fans, but across the world. I first discovered the robots' incredible music when I was about ten years old, in 2019 - I had been on a huge binge of  well known electronic music artists at the time (The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, etc) and after I started getting into modern house music (most of which I can't remember now) I discovered their first album Homework, released in January 1997. I immediately fell in love with the album - it's funk filled nature and groovy beats hooked me instantly and it introduced me to house music properly at a time when I was beginning to break out of my shell musically. My favourit...

INTERVIEW: FTC Project

 Hey everyone! I recently decided to interview Michigan based rave producer FTC Project for this blog. For those that don't know, he is becoming a popular name in the underground tracker music scene with his eclectic taste for sounds and interesting production. For now, I'll let him do the talking. Q: For those that don't know, what music do you make? A:  I make a mix of jungle and breakbeats with a bit of gabber and speedcore. Q: What got you into making music in particular? Are there any particular artists that have inspired you? A: In around 2021, I started listening to acid house and hardcore hechno and I also knew a few gabber tracks before I listened to a few pirate radio mixtapes that had jungle/breakbeats on there. Around this time I was already experimenting on FL Studio making acid house when I discovered the jungle genre and then I started to make jungle music in FL Studio which resulted in the first dreaded Fritz The Cat EPs later in 2022. Eventually the name wa...

THE STORY BEHIND: Sugalumps EP

  Hey, fellow readers of my blog! I've decided to start a new section for this blog named "The Story Behind" which is meant to detail how and why some of my own musical work was made, along with various interesting bits and anecdotes from the production process. To start this section off, I have decided to write about my first EP Sugalumps, which is turning a year old next week. INTRODUCTION: The entire EP was produced on ProTracker 2.3, a music program from January 1993 built for the Amiga (a series of computers that became popular with musicians and creatives in the late 80s and early 90s) and ProTracker is known for its limitations - 4 channels of mono 8 bit audio, only 31 samples are allowed and there are barely any mixing controls provided. To add, it also relies entirely on different counting systems and complex commands. I wanted to make an EP using ProTracker to challenge myself, as I had been making music for two to three years using various music programs such a...
