We’re back for 2022 with episode 41 of AIR, an interview podcast series with a different theme each episode. Joining me today is Spanish producer and DJ @jass-29. 

Silvia’s music first caught attention in 2017 when she put out her debut album Weightless, which was well-loved for its heavy use of drone, its avant-garde sound and its industrial mood, terms that JASSS’s intense DJ sets also came to be celebrated for. Now a seasoned artist in her prime, her sophomore record A World of Service, out now on @ostgutton-official, continues to explore those primal tones, not only in its sound but also in its visual elements and a custom made scent that accompanies each vinyl. As such, Silvia and I sat down to talk about music as a sensory experience — how we experience music through each of our five senses,  how factors like drug use, social context, and emotionality enhance our artistic world, and the role of memory in our love of music.

Introducing, the newest member of the Research & Development team, Chicago-based producer, composer, and DJ, Eric Fernandez. Fernandez is known for performing under the moniker of Makeen. His live sets are centered around improvisation and spontaneity. Makeen’s sensibilities are the result of years performing solo and in collaboration with fellow Chicago artists. These previous experiences have allowed him to carry a heavy, dance floor focused raw energy into both his DJ sets and hybrid performances. 

In 2019, alongside well known mutant electronics manipulator, Beau Wanzer, he co-founded and helped curate the monthly techno party, Near Dark, at the legendary yet sadly defunct Danny’s Tavern. This year, he looks forward to a handful of new releases and is excited to join JS Alvarez in the lab for Research and Development.
