Vel The Wonder & A.R.S. - Avoid Tunnel Vision (Prod. by Jenova 7 & Mr. Moods)

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.

Video Interview with Lew from Unbox Therapy http://youtu.be/eqeYHol4UUk?hd=1

Music is my passion, my love, a spiritual guide,etc..
Since my early childhood, i am deeply in love with soul, funk,blues,jazz, rock; etc....
It makes no difference, if it is an old peace/song, or not.
The language of it, connects and speaks for it self.
Where ever you are on this earth, you can find music.
It is everywhere the same: people loves music.
Music is for me so much more, than sound.
To collect and share, is a lifetime misssion.
It is like air , water and light, we need them.
Take care and keep your groove,



love & peace, 4 every 1 , everywhere
