Jason Code’s Nervous Growl wasn’t born in a club. It started on a cold, rainy day in Seattle, when he pulled out some hardware to shake off a creative rut.

Let’s backtrack: Jason first learned to produce at 16 after falling for the bass and energy of early dubstep, fascinated by its overlap with hip-hop. After years of honing his sound – including releases on Scuffed Recordings, Ommaya Records and Future Everything, plus his self-released 2022 EP JC01 – he moved back to Seattle and began working as a lighting tech for after-hours parties like Research, High+Tight, and Second Nature. Those nights, with their long-form, hypnotic grooves, would have a huge impact on the production of Nervous Growl. Around the same time, he started throwing his own parties, investing in a soundsystem with friends, and creating a DIY space to help bolster the local scene and strengthen the city’s underground dance community.

It’s that same spirit – inclusive, DIY, and fiercely proud of its scene – that fuels Nervous Growl: as he puts it, “a rising tide lifts all ships.” Bringing together that formative love of proggy house and techno with the deep womps, think breaks, tripped-out vocal chops and breathy ASMR moments that have become his signature (put it this way: he’s not beating the ADHD allegations any time soon), Nervous Growl feels like the record that brings together all aspects of Jason’s musical make-up into a disharmonious whole.

This EP also features his best mixing work yet – tight, bass-forward club tracks that balance silliness, darkness, and sultry energy. The low end is king here – especially the chest-rumbling “growl” at the core of the title track – but there’s a wry humour running throughout the EP with details that reveal themselves on repeat listens. Nervous Growl is a record built for big systems and packed dancefloors, with Jason’s personality stamped all over it.

CxC PREMIERE: FUCK!LACRÈME - Naive Club (Beat Machine Records)

Hedchef & Hank Schussman - Earthcrimes [SPE:C]

Platinum 7

Drawing inspiration from rhythm-driven styles such as UK Funky, Gqom, and Dancehall, WRACK transforms these influences into something unmistakably his own. Through percussive beatwork and melodic, atmospheric synth layers, he elevates the sound far beyond imitation, achieving a unique musical identity that feels both global and deeply personal.

The title track “Nika” embodies this approach, filled with diverse sonic elements rooted in global club culture, it defies easy categorization. Yet underneath the surface lies WRACK’s signature sense of rhythm and sound design, infused with a distinct temperature and tension that only his music carries. Tribal yet minimal, it stands as a masterfully refined and immersive work.

The EP also features two remarkable remixes. From Toulouse, France, Kaval delivers a floor-ready killer tune that highlights the percussive drive of the original while adding his own fluid, dance-focused groove. Meanwhile, Tokyo-based producer NirBorna offers a deeper, more introspective, and emotionally charged rework, expanding the EP’s sonic depth and scope even further.
