House + Breaks + Jazz

Born in Cleveland, OH, the enigmatic producer Sound On Tape draws influence from legends El-B, Burial, Mr. Fingers, Kraftwerk and Sticky as well as deep seated Jazz icons Bill Evans and John Coltrane.

DJ Mag writes that his debut album Price is “rooted in garage, R&B, jazz and house, and brimming with sumptuous gems — the gospel-tinged ‘If You’re Free (Say So)’ and swooning garage / slow-jam hybrid ‘Burnin’ Out’ are particular standouts — it’s rich and heartfelt, the kind of album that stays with you long after the music stops.” Released via his own imprint 904L World Class Sound, the project sonically places him alongside contemporaries Overmono, Burial, Sammy Virji, and Emma-Jean Thackray.

With early remixes from rising UKG stars MPH, Wilfy D, Zefer, and House producer Mike Nasty, Sound On Tape is quickly becoming one of the most respected voices in the genre while keeping art at the forefront.

Fast Times is the musical alter ago of Jorge Day, a Brooklynite with a taste for slick, bass heavy rhythms and spaced out synths. 

Jorge's musical CV includes synth duties in Wierd Records mope-pop act Plastic Flowers as well as production for sultry neo-wavers Lingerie, but when left to his own devices he crafts dance floor ready beats under the Fast Times flag. Fast Times’ debut LP Bodytalk dropped with the purveyors of basement lux grooves over at LA imprint 100% Silk in 2013 with Gorilla vs. Bear noting the warm, analog vintage vibes. There's a starkness and crunch to these tracks that skews them more towards the proto-house vibe of various mid-80's analog sides, when productions were more about raw rhythms and melodic minimalism, instead of the prolonged tension-and-release model which dominates to this day. 

History aside, Fast Times creates a tripped out skeletal synthesis of numerous styles, including house and bass.

A rose amongst the thorns
Beauty of a thousand scorns
Relinquished within a world forlorn
Embraced into a love reborn
