Jenova 7 is the musical “nom de plume” of Boston-based multimedia artist Michael J. Sirois (born 1989). His genres include trip-hop, downtempo, chill-out and instrumental hip-hop. He was featured on Mushroom Jazz 8, the latest volume of legendary DJ Mark Farina's iconic chillout compilation series.

He is most recognized for the “Dusted Jazz” instrumental series, distinct for exploring jazz grooves, organic drum breaks and moody, cinematic vibes. His style is influenced by the pioneering trip-hop artists of the 90s such as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, DJ Cam and Portishead, as well as sample based Golden Era hip-hop producers such as DJ Premier and Pete Rock.

In late 2010, after graduating from college with a degree in film, he moved to Los Angeles for a year and started making music as “Jenova 7” with the trip-hop netlabel Dusted Wax Kingdom. In late 2013, he joined the Los Angeles based Cold Busted record label.

As a self-taught musician, his style has been inspired and guided by his versatile taste in music and his love for visual storytelling. Every album is meant to be the soundtrack to an imaginary film. His albums are a blend of the past and present—a mix of vintage crate digger samples accompanied by live instrumentation. His solo performances often feature original cinematic background visuals set behind simultaneous MPC beatmaking and improvised guitar playing.

He has collaborated with French trip-hop producer Hugo Kant and produced instrumentals for Craig G of the legendary Juice Crew hip-hop collective. He is also a member of the enigmatic trip-hop trio Wax Triptych, alongside fellow artists Mononome & Mr. Moods.

bio:
Eric Ananda is a Kenyan record producer who, since early childhood, has had a passion for music. He started to play the guitar at a very young age and, by the age of 6, added piano too. At age 9, he began to play the clarinet to join his school orchestra and gain the chance to expose himself to different genres of music.

In his teenage years came a broader scope as he explored a new interest in playing covers for songs by well-known bands such as Nickelback, Daughtry, and Lifehouse, among many others. Meanwhile, as his desire to pursue music further grew, Eric’s influence also expanded to hip-hop. There he has had the opportunity to interact with other like minds, some of which introduced him to another popular culture of music, EDM (Electronic Dance Music).

His first official release ‘Abode’ was released in 2015 under his alias Raejbass on Ensis Records. After its positive reception, it encouraged Eric to continue experimenting in different sectors of the electronic music scene, examples of which are marketing to label management. 

In late 2018, Eric decided to leave Raejbass behind and began releasing music under his legal name. 2020 welcomed more exposure for Eric, contributing to releases where he will be credited as a producer and songwriter instead of an artist. In early 2021, Eric released his debut EP ‘Drive’ and, most recently, is set to release his debut album ‘Sunsets and Daydreams’ this year and looks forward to coming opportunities that the rest of the year will bring.
