Graces - May 2023

For the 14th installment in our Just For The Night series, selectors take you on their own journey through groove. Anything goes.

Enter, one of Motor City's hidden gems. Keyboardist, composer & selector Jade Zuberi aka Jay Sound caught our ears & we just had to invite him onto the series. An incredibly diverse musician who can shift between New Age, Deep House, Funk, Jazz & more, his sound has a constant deep retro atmosphere at its foundation coupled with 80s synths, complex polyrhythmic bass lines, dream like chords & retro drum machines.

Fuelling his artistry are wide-ranging inspirations from Theo Parrish, Larry Heard, Ron Trent, Benedek, Bonodo & Trinidadian Deep to Herbie Hancock, Prince, Sade, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Robert Glasper, Dam-Funk, George Duke, Hans Zimmer, John Carpenter & so much more.

Detroit came through! 🙏 Eternal appreciation @jaysound-1
