Age Of Virality with Jhobei

A highly talented artist who has grown to make a notable impression amongst the scene's most revered tastemakers, DJ/producer and label owner Jhobei is an individual who continues to blossom. His deep, expansive sound has already welcomed material on Up The Stuss, Limousine Dream, Mindhelmet and Picnic Records, amongst others, while featuring as a co-founder of London-based collective and label Bizarre Trax.

In addition, his work as one-third of dynamic trio Felon5, coupled with his unique sound, has taken him from Albania's ION Festival to Los Angeles, alongside making a handful of appearances for FUSE and its sister brands on home turf at fabric, The Cause and Village Underground - plus 2024's Open Air event at Barking Park earlier this year. Building on that relationship, late September brings fresh music as Enzo Siragusa invites the exciting selector to make his label debut with an array of impressive productions across his "Age Of Virality" EP.

A-side opener "Swarming" is all action and kicks things off with authority as a snaking bassline guides a garage-influenced trip through bumping low-ends and hooky vocal samples, while "Machine Language" delivers a mix of playful tones amongst sweeping melodies while delivering a heavy dose of robot funk.

On the flip, "Defusion Solution" is a heady late-night excursion through skippy percussion and cosmic tones, with "Rising Sun" stripping things back to deliver a classy, hazy journey as organic percussion grooves unravel effortlessly. Digital buyers are treated to a bonus cut in the form of "Kontrol Urload," a sci-fi leaning cut merging glistening neon synth motifs with punchy kicks and zipping effects for maximum impact.
