Live Jam. Minor cutting to shorten the monotony.
With @manuel-knoll-200474578

Made for the Record Every Month Challenge for October 2024. On a sunny, warm, and windy autumn afternoon, I took my Deluge groovebox outside for a change and admired the golden maple trees swaying in the wind and dropping leaves with the waxing moon slowly rising above, which became the inspiration for the track that I sketched out over the course of an hour. I wanted to use the Boards of Deluge patches more, and these two seemed to capture the mood well. I then fleshed it out with more percussion and arranged it in the studio over several sessions, mixing it fully in the Deluge, with some compression and hall reverb applied in the Model 12 mixer. It captures my feelings of the fall season in Minnesota. It is alternately wondrous and difficult, joyful and bittersweet. The eventual loss makes one appreciate the temporary beauty all the more.

Falling Leaves, Rising Moon

2013, at the end of the 10 year anniversary gig of the infamous "Flying Ö Connection" Agata and me had a spontanous improvisation. Electric guitar, reverb & voice. The vibe was special, i hope it comes through. 

Funny in retrospective, that the motive of that piece is electrostatic, meaning there is a spark that jumps along electric tension. 2 days later our now 7month-old daughter was conceived. Ha! :)

Agata & Niklas - Elektrostatik

The stream gently ebbed and flowed letting off a cold spray as it ricocheted off the banks. It was welcome amidst the hot temperatures that had taken hold lately. The weather had been playing tricks on them; tropical storms were a regular occurrence at this time of year. One minute the sun would call people out onto the beaches with sunglasses and parasols in hand, before the thrashing of rain would arrive and force everyone back into their homes. But there was something beautiful about these conditions. It was a time where the sun and the rain danced together harmoniously...

Jac The Disco is gearing up for the release of his next EP Cosmic Matter, the inaugural outing on his new label Spin On This. A melee of the sounds he's become recognised for like disco, cosmic, acid and house, the two original tracks signal a strong start for the imprint which is backed up by remixes from Norwegian producer and Lindstrøm collaborator Prins Thomas and French house innovator and Versatile regular I:Cube.

PREMIERE: Jac The Disco - Bali Dance [Spin On This]

Pre Order : https://spinonthismusic.bandcamp.com/album/manglik

Jac The Disco returns with a second serving from his label 'Spin On This' which sees two new  original works and remixes from New York staples Eric Duncan and Juan Maclean. The EP  titled 'Manglik' meaning a person born under the influence of Mars. Having the powerful  influence of Mars in a birth chart determines a person's basic instinct, 'the qualities of  expression without thinking', which is exactly where this EP takes you. The EP delivers a 
selection of dance floor bangers filled with modulation, driving bass, elevating voices and  the signature JTD acid lines.
