Juju & Jordash LIVE in the Boiler Room x Dekmantel Festival

'An obsession', that's what making music is for Gal 'Juju' Aner and Jordan 'Jordash' Czamanski, and Dekmantel couldn't be happier that these two possessed masterminds are working for them again in mesmerising ways.

Aner and Czamanski helped shape the Dekmantel label to what it is today – an ever expanding fortress of futuristic house and techno - by releasing two acclaimed albums and various singles on the Amsterdam based imprint. Now the duo prepared two of their out-flooded tracks in the form of their double a-side single 'Waldorf Salad/Third Planet From Altair'.

The title 'Waldorf Salad' refers to the legendary synthesizer that helped shape the landscape of clean, detailed yet warm electronic music. The latter is exactly what you’ll recognize in the a-side cut. Juju & Jordash smoothly ride the flawless waves of house music resulting in an unfussy, old school feel. Stirring and instantly infectious, the plodding synths make for an intriguing final chapter of this track.

The aa-side contains 'Third Planet From Altair'. Here Juju & Jordash redefine an anthemic journey with a more than nine-minute-long cut. It's a quick paced, gliding deep house affair with plenty of elegant synth work and closes out yet another essential offering from the duo.

Two years after the artistic statement that was their expansive third LP, famed live act and hardware lovers Juju & Jordash are releasing another full-length on Dekmantel. Clean-cut, a nine-track affair, comes lovingly pressed to vinyl in autumn 2014.

The duo fully embrace the album format, creating a tight tapestry of emotive and danceable sound that reveals more detail and depth with each new listen.  Textures range from organic and lush to synthetic and arresting. Deep-space serenity gets juxtaposed with more urgent and alien paranoia.

"Clean-cut is tighter, more honest and there’s less hiding behind a hazy screen of FX," say the pair.

The new release marks a clear evolution in the career of these singular artists.  Clearly, Clean-cut is another feather in the already resplendent bow of Juju & Jordash.

Juju & Jordash have a longstanding and tight relationship with the Amsterdam based record label and event powerhouse Dekmantel. Juju & Jordash are a staple on Dekmantel clubnights and festivals. This is their third full-length on Dekmantel, a further consolidation of their 5 year bond.

Dekmantel won the minds and hearts of electronic music enthousiasts throughout the world with their record label and club nights over the past 7 years. Dekmantel Festival –which saw its first edition in 2013– has seen unanimously glowing reviews for two years in a row now, further affirming the path Dekmantel chose to be the right one.

Rinse FM Podcast - Daniel Avery w/ Answer Code Request + Juju + Jordash - 27th October 2014

Incredible live-electronic and gear heavy duo Juju & Jordash are returning with a new LP for Dekmantel. We think you'll all agree that these guys are some of the few names who can really make the most of the album length format, whilst keeping things categorically dancefloor focussed. 
 
This killer 9-track slab of goodness is called 'Clean Cut', and is due to hit stores on November 17th.

Juju & Jordash "Deadwood City" Boiler Room Debuts

Improvisation is the key when it comes to Amsterdam born and bred electronic duo Juju and Jordash, who make music with as much energy as their live show. Having just released their incredible third album, Clean Cut through Dutch techno house Dekmantel, the pair share a little something special to let loose to. 

"These are two segments from recent live improvised Juju & Jordash club shows. First chunk was recorded at a super famous Berlin club and the second segment is from the Dekmantel UFO ADE night in Amsterdam. Our live shows are completely improvised. We plug in a bunch of Synths, Drum machines, a guitar and a mic, and just jam away with the dancers. Nothing pre prepared except our mind-set.

I guess getting loose is what we are trying to do on stage and what we would like dancers in the clubs to do. Just feel some stuff and let loose!"

What's left to explain about Juju & Jordash? The longtime Dekmantel affiliated duo (Gal Aner, Jordan Czamanski) helped shape our club nights, festivals, label and other music endeavors to what they stand for today. In other words: without these jazz trained cats, there wouldn’t be a Dekmantel. It’s with great anticipation that we announce Dekmantel release #8 (!) from these utterly talented musicians. DKMNTL026 is a club friendly yet sophisticated four tracker that is as abstract as it is deep, and as elegant as it is effective. Raw, energetic stuff for your peak time bag!

DKMNTL026 // Juju & Jordash - Down To The Roach EP

Juju & Jordash have been one of the most prolific and impressive duos of recent times. The pair made up of Jordan and Gal has now released four standout LPs, play truly live and mesmeric live shows around the world, work with Move D as Magic Mountain High and also have various accomplished solo projects. Of course, they are regulars on our Dekmantel label, and always conjure up emotive, complex and stirring machine made sounds from another galaxy. 

Now they have given us a special live recording for our next podcast. It is taken from their live show at iBoat, and as ever is a completely improvised session that finds them playing keys, synths and drum machines and jamming fluidly throughout. Switching up the sounds and styles as they go, the tempo varies subtly and the end result is an absorbing soundtrack that tells many a musical tale.  From outlier electronics to jacking house, it always retains an impeccable sense of melody and majesty that is hard not to love.

Check the archives and it’s almost impossible to come across a Dekmantel event without Juju & Jordash on the bill. The Israeli ex-pats are close family members for good reason. Their improv live performances have been massively applauded for their musicality and versatility. There’s only one downside to one-off live shows: the music is lost in the echoes. Hence why we decided to start a new series. DKMNTL-LBLSHWCS01 will be dedicated to limited runs of live takes recorded during Dekmantel showcases. 

The very first DKMNTL-LBLSHWCS sounds like it couldn't have come from anyone else. On four different cuts Juju & Jordash seduce with a lavish mix of electronic jazz cut-ups combined with spiraling basslines. Dynamic analog synths transcend into mysterious space funk extrapolations, while the duo playfully serve up their filmic and distinguished vision of sound. Recorded at Paradigm (Groningen, NL), Mighty (San Francisco, US) and Smartbar (Chicago, US), four heart-rending tracks deliver heavy kicks and intense strings. The tunes are absolutely appropriate for the club, and kick-off our ambitious new journey with style.

Well, what about Tuesday? Hybrid house and techno masters Juju & Jordash return to Dekmantel Records with yet another outstanding release. Their relentless work ethos makes you wonder if these guys sleep at all. Maybe that’s what Tuesdays are for? 

DKMNTL 043 is a three-tracker and a fine display of Gal Aner’s and Jordan Czamanski’s next-level, improv based way of painting records. ‘Monday Mellow’ is a dubbed out, twisted and subtly emerging house groover, while ‘Wednesday Something’ continues the journey with a dense electronic jazz-tinged stomper. ‘Thursday, Heavy.’ demonstrates their full range, combining eerie melodic synth excursions with a jagged bassline – an out of this world, destructive yet classy house bomb. As always their intergalactic excursions are superbly executed. Let’s give them some rest on those Tuesdays.

DKMNTL043 // Juju & Jordash - What About Tuesday?

Juju & Jordash are often celebrated for the improvisational prowess of their live shows, but the Amsterdam-based pair has a long history of producing quality records as well. Before the duo's latest EP, 'What About Tuesday?,' arrives via the Dekmantel label on January 16, we debuted the woozy lead cut, "Monday Mellow," on RBMA Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Gal (Juju) and Jordan (Jordash) return home to the Dekmantel stable for their fourth LP. It’s their most complete record to date. A series of purpose-written compositions, that highlight their maturity as musicians, and adept dexterity in the studio.

Without the pairing of Juju & Jordash, there would be no Dekmantel. The duo are an integral part of the label’s history, dating back to 2009 when they where they were the first act to release on the imprint. The two vagabonds can often be found performing live at various outdoor festivals and renowned clubs around the globe, jamming away behind a tabletop of buttons, knobs, synths, and drum machines - like a retro, control-station from Star Trek - albeit one that hums along with the jazz-centric, discordant house, and techno whirrings played by the musicians.

Nowadays Juju & Jordash have evolved far beyond their ’oddball house’ moniker. Their freestyle approach to performance, and immaculate refined sounds have became somewhat more defined, in a style that’s unique, yet elaborate, with a sense of otherworldliness, not only befit for the dancefloor, but otherwise transcendental moments. Following on from their previous LP, 2014’s Clean-Cut, a record of primal, forward thinking, variations from the studio, Sis-boom-bah is an album steeped in studio traditionalism, with a direction towards composition. “We wanted the focus of this album to be the music and not necessarily the process, so we made sure to perfect the performances before shifting the focus on to the production,” states Jordash about the record. Recorded over the space of a few, intense weeks, and built upon years of improvised live shows in front of thousands of listeners, Sis-boom-bah was written around grooves written by Juju on the guitar, and Jordash on the Rhodes. It was the first album the duo have written using such an approach, and solely produced and mixed by Jordash in Amsterdam over the course of a year, making it their most authentic record to date. 

Sis-boom-bah’s diverse, spiritual nature is built around Juju & Jordash's use of polyrhythms. The percussive sequenced grooves, and rhythmic backbone was generated using the Yamaha DX7, along with the Roland TR606 drum machine. This approach to rhythm can be heard from the outset within the very first track ‘Herkie’, an ephemeral, yet tribal approach to minimalist funk. The spirituality flows throughout the record, where it sounds like the duo have brought along the nature with them from the foresty raves. In actually fact, the background noise comes courtesy of “noise generators from two separate synthesizers, each with its own filter slowly opening and closing so it kinda sounds like waves or wind.” There are also nods towards their acid influences, with some surefire slices of house music too. Sis-boom-bah is still very much a Juju & Jordash record, yet it's one with a greater depth, musically and stylistically. As electronic music albums go, you'll be hard pushed to find one more complete. "People should listen to this on a loud and clear sound-system," explains Jordash, "high on life, in their own special safe place."
