Anjunabeats is pleased to announce the self-titled debut album from JODA, aka Jono Grant and Darren Tate, releasing August 26. The new double A-side 'Try / Dark Strings' is out now.

JODA are a fresh musical pairing with shared DNA. Both together and apart, Jono Grant and Darren Tate have been there, done that, and bought the vintage synth gear to celebrate.

Grant is one-third of Above & Beyond who, over the course of a two-decade career, have established themselves as one of the biggest electronic groups in the world. Eight studio albums (including one as vocal trance group OceanLab and two acoustic reworks), 17 compilation albums, a film score, and nearing 100 singles speak to output as varied as it is prodigious. Their label Anjunabeats is home to a bustling community of artists with over twenty years of catalog.

As a classically trained musician, songwriter, producer, and hitmaker, Tate is an OG Top of the Pops-botherer. In the early Noughties, at the outset of his career, he appeared on the show three times, once with Angelic, his collaboration with Judge Jules and the latter’s wife, performing classic trance banger It’s My Turn, then twice under the name Jurgen Vries. The following years saw more musical adventures, more Top 40 UK hits (12 in total), and more pseudonyms, including the trance-facing DT8 Project.

In 2003, the pair managed to sync their schedules to work on a couple of tracks, 'Let The Light Shine In' and 'Nocturnal Creatures'. Clearly, there was chemistry here. But as the pair’s respective careers subsequently took them off around the world in opposite directions, reconnecting other than fleetingly was never easy. Then in 2019 Tate returned to his trance roots and signed to Anjunabeats for his DT8 Project releases. Around the same time, Above & Beyond received an offer to score an environmental documentary, 'The Last Glaciers'.

“I'm musical, but I've never done a score before, which would be quite an undertaking. And I knew Darren was massively experienced at doing that, and I've always admired what he does in his film work. So my first thought was: why don't we do it with Darren?”

Jono and Darren got stuck into composing together, and it became a dream project all-around – not least because it sparked further ideas. So, JODA was born. Working in Tate’s studio in suburban north London, and A&B’s south London HQ, the pair were in a creative bubble during the early days of the pandemic. And the partnership proved fruitful.

An artful evocation of electronic music’s decade-zero, 'Try' is "rooted in classic songwriting", according to Grant, taking a page from classic synthpop. Then there’s the glitchy instrumental 'Dark Strings', influenced by darker sounds.

'JODA', their debut album, releases this summer. For now, though, Jono Grant and Darren Tate are simply happy that a project that began almost when neither of them was looking, in the midst of lockdowns, has turned out exactly and as fully as they imagined. Unforced, unhurried, and only done for love: this is a passion project of the best kind.

JODA’s self-titled debut album is out August 26. Pre-order on 2x12” vinyl and digitally via the Anjuna Music Store.

JODA - Try

Lyrics by Rozam :

C'était un soir d'été
Les gouttes tombaient une à une sur mon visage
J'ai fermé les yeux
Ma bouche était sèche, je voulais boire la pluie
La chaleur coulait sur ma peau
Alors
J'ai cherché des arbres
Loin de tout
Et
J'ai trouvé

Je le dis
À mes peines passées
À cette sombre folie douce, j'irais
J'irais au coeur de la forêt
Allonger mon corps sur la mousse
Je le dis (je le dis)
À mes peurs futures
À mes poumons emplies de doutes
J'irais parler aux créatures
Peuplant les bois que l'on redoute

Je le dis
Je le dis
Je le dis

Je le dis
Aux hommes qui brament leur haine
Et à l'hiver qui les habite
J'irais draguer la lune pleine
Chanter mes désirs parasites
Je le dis
À ceux qui n'ont pas cru
Que je pouvais seule respirer
Je dessinerai sur ma peau nue
Toutes les rivières que j'ai pleuré

Je le dis
Je le dis
Je le dis

J'ai trouvé des elfes
Et je les ai suivis
Ils m'ont guidé vers une source ondoyante
Qui coulait sans aller nulle part
J'y ai noyé mes plaies
Je lui ai offert mes souvenirs
Et sous mes yeux enfin ouverts, bercés par sa musique silencieuse
Je guérissais
Doucement
Mais je guérissais
Comment revenir
Je suis si loin dans la forêt
Si loin

Rest in peace Vangelis. You have inspired big and small artists like myself to keep making music and appreciate the craft of other artists.
Your legacy will continue.

Heavily inspired by Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch's work on Blade Runner 2049 OST, which was a re-imagination of the original Blade Runner OST made by Vangelis, I decided to fuse it with a more mellow sounding Darksynth, which resulted in this eerie, but somewhat encouraging record.

Lonely Highway (Available on Bandcamp)

Frozen is the second official release from Girlfriend Records and the first to feature label founder Sferro alongside recent signee Johnatron. The single expands on the label's dance leanings; "Frozen" is a huge bit of driving synthpop, featuring huge synths, whirling vocals, and pounding drums. The B-Side, "Thawed", takes a much more hypnotic approach, calling to mind the jamming acid house sounds of the late 1980's.

Press:

"Utilizing the usual sound of 80s influenced synths, from leads to bass and heavy drums, this definite french house track will sound very familiar to your ear especially if you’re listening to french house main acts such as Lifelike, Chris Malinchak or Kris Menace."
-Stoney Roads

"The solid Italo beat and bassline make it unmistakably for the dancefloor, but the lush chords and the haunting vocal, that weaves it’s way in and out of the melodies, give it an otherworldly, dreamlike, quality that sees to wrap you up and sweep you along with it."
-Electronic Rumors

"Frozen" will be available on all major digital stores June 19th, on Girlfriend Records.
