Stefan Ringer aka REKchampa says he makes music that's danceable, intelligent, and soulful, and we couldn't agree more. This 4 track EP of soulful house from the star of Atlanta's underground scene has everything for the discerning DJ (bangers Bounce #3 and Can't Stop) and the home listener (heady deep cuts Feeling It and The Come Down) alike.

Action Figures: "Hangover"

While known for his work in Boston's contemporary indie scene including the legendary Grass is Green and other groups including Supervolcano, Vending Machetes, and the Dirty Dishes (bass + guitar, guitar + keys, bass, and drums, respectively), Boston-born, Roslindale-raised Michael John Thomas III, aka MJTIII, also plays a little-known but important role of maverick engineer and mastering enthusiast - his fingerprints mark countless releases and not-yet-releases within JASS' circles as well as Boston's underground and beyond. Equally comfortable behind the console with one of his bands as with a more electronically-focused work, Thomas applies a mechanical, analog-based, often tape-driven approach to his productions that not only seeps through his own numerous solo electronic productions as MJTIII, but is also extremely appealing to work with as an outside artist. It is this mix of experiences that he brings to Contemporary and Past Events, 41 minutes of vinyl selections ranging from Swiss post-punk, Irish shoegaze, Italian psychedelia, and Iranian garage to Philadelphia soul, with a DJ's ear for contrast and congruency. Solid, driving cuts from the rock canon like Grauzone's Eisbär & the nimble, stretchy punk of My Bloody Valentine's Soft As Snow (But Warm Inside) are placed throughout the mix, with sudden turns and highlights such as Alessandro Alessandroni's Political Congress, a bizarre, modern form of 'active' lounge music. Thomas offers a refreshing look back at styles you may have overlooked and an open-armed invitation to reconsider your listening habits.

MJTIII - Contemporary and Past Events (JSMIX004)

Pre-order: http://jass.bandcamp.com/album/it-became-clearer 

What color is the sky, really? A scattered spectrum of wavelengths refracting wavelengths, timbres modulate to the frequency of the Earth. It’s an illusion - perception can be deceiving. Only the Sun can determine if it will be Dark During the Day, and With It, the Sky decides. 

The JASS debut of Brooklyn’s Joseph Magee, aka Cofaxx, It Became Clearer bubbles and froths over, floating above steadily, patiently and with enterprise. An accomplished and multifaceted producer and engineer, Magee hones Process to brilliantly colorful yet humble results. Scaffold guitar arrangements crumble into hushed drone, the murky palette at odds with any contemporary impetus. Meandering waves of white noise densely layer its textures, undulating into a ruminative lull. 

His previous work drawing from a range including avant-garde soundscapes to bass heavy club productions, Magee here tips the hat to experimental-leaning JASS alumni such as Kallie Lampel and aldenwels, forging an idiosyncratic path in this familiar territory. 

It Became Clearer will be released in digital and limited cassette formats on February 22, 2019, with the cassette edition featuring an exclusive bonus track “New Teeth”.
