JKS translates a decade of drumming experience into a magnetic exploration of rhythm, weight, and movement, a journey through the sounds that shaped him long before ever touching an electronic drum machine. Rooted in techno, his music is percussive, hypnotic, and textured, with sexy driving grooves, evolving layers, and a raw, physical energy that feels both fierce and deeply seductive. JKS skillfully navigates between chaos and control, drawing from UK bass, 140, broken techno, and many other influences with effortless precision.

An active force in the underground for over ten years, JKS first emerged as a founding member of Molekül, later forging his own path with the creation of Smile Sessions in 2020. The label has now grown into a space for new talent, helping emerging artists find their voice while staying true to the spirit of the scene.
