stuff to check

Deon is a Detroit native whose roots stem from the crates of family. Growing up hearing many different styles of music in the household is the inspiration behind his range of selection. Inspired by everything from jazz, funk, & soul, to more modern black dance music forms like hip-hop/r&b, house, techno, & brokenbeat. 

His career in Detroit began as resident DJ & organizer for the monthly hip-hop showcase "Bluecollar Gentleman". 
At the same time Deon started working alongside Theo Parrish & Sound Signature, 
helping organize and promote the Music Gallery party series. 

Spending years consuming & working in Detroit's underground would help inform his own more dancefloor/community oriented event, "Healin' Session" as well as the immersive music and art experience, "Black Music".

Recently, Deon was asked by the legendary Theo Parrish to help him selecting artists that he knows in order to be part of a great compilation, representing the originality and essence of the Detroit's sound.

Short Attention Mix 037 by Deon Jamar

OUT NOW: https://sweetabyss.bandcamp.com/album/jzkl-pancake-of-the-infinite

JZKL form the voltron of collaborative resonance on their debut EP “Pancake of the Infinite”

Johnny Zoloft emerges to supplant the rhythm and bang out the doldrums, Kiernan Laveaux provides the zaps and explosive vibes - together as JZKL, they come together to bring five dextrous cuts of connective tissue and propulsive propensities.

Alchemized in the rustbelt chasms of Pittsburgh, JZKL began writing music together in early 2023 upon becoming friends through the iconic UHAUL DISCO event series helmed by Johnny Zoloft and longtime besties MIRA MIRA & Gladstone Deluxe - jointly inspired by everything from midwestern rave catharsis, freeform intersections of rhythm, & prismatic downloads of spiritual animation.

Sweet Abyss itself extends from this DIY collaborative resonance, creating third spaces for strange and enticing sounds across the spectrum brought to life through an expanding cast of residents & co-conspirators, the visual multimedia acuity of Malzof, and now having more life born into it as it expands into a genre-free media imprint melded from the minds of longtime friends and rogue innovators Kiernan Laveaux & CCL. 

The imprint’s inaugural “Pancake of the Infinite” triumphantly announces itself with the the lesbian musique concréte turned oddball dance floor anthem “Horse Girls” (itself partly an interpretation of Ruth Anderson’s “Conversations”, released on kindred esoteric music imprint Ergot Records) - a unique and mischievous concoction of organic breakbeats, turntablized naughtiness, & prismatic Mother32 melodiousness that embodies the flamboyant spirit of discotek psychedelia & mystique.

Futuristic vessel of Nuyorican Soul MIRA MIRA & deft afro-logical synthesist Gladstone Deluxe join on for the rest of the EP - both members of the esteemed Las Mariquitas ensemble & close friends of JZKL, the two bestow their innovative metaphysical talents to the tracks. From MIRA MIRA’s dubwise flugelhorns atop the sprawling, organic kinetics of “Moon FX”, the poplock electrodynamics of Gladstone Deluxe’s nimble breakbeat programming & arrangement on “Total Body Extension”, & onwards to the sunkissed sway of both iterations of “B12 Velocity” - the original mix honing in on photosynthetic waves of supple emotion & body movement in the breeze, while the freewheeling “Exoskeleton Dub” glides on a chaotic spectrum of 111bpm to infinity experimental mayhem for the equipoised & adventurous DJs.

“Pancake of the Infinite” is the sound of disparate fusions coming back together again, a unity of divisions and multiplicities - as spherical time expands into a flat circle, things fall apart & coalesce, somehow the eternal return finds us all where we need to be.

WNCL Records is a label operating out of South London run by West Norwood Cassette Library aka Bob Bhamra - an underrated producer and DJ we’ve long been an admirer of. Since Bob inaugurated the imprint with his ‘What It Is’ 12″ back in 2010 the label has gone on to release a steady stream of top quality music from the likes of Canadian recluse Kevin McPhee, the don Don Froth and cave-dwelling Techno talent J.Tijn. Bob doesn’t have a particularly strict criteria when it comes to choosing the music he releases, he simply has to like it. In the years before WNCL he put out some mid 90s House trax as The Bob Bhamra Project, a bit of late 90s Drum and Bass with Plastic Soul, a few Ambient-y releases at the turn of the millenium with Data 70 and one-off sound projects as No.1 Astronaut.

Continuing with their fifth birthday celebrations Bob had originally planned to do a WNCL Recordings only mix to celebrate the label’s 5th anniversary but, when he realised that November 2015 also marks the death of Roger ‘Wildchild’ Mackenzie, he decided to turn in a tribute mix to his productions. As Bob says himself, “2015 is the 5th anniversary of WNCL Recordings. Alas, 2015 also marks 20 years since the sad passing of legendary UK House producer, Roger “Wildchild” Mackenzie. For my Hyponik mix, I wanted to pay tribute to the underground hero whose music has been a constant influence on West Norwood Cassette Library and the WNCL label.” RIP.
