rom the vibrant music scenes of Argentina and Montreal, Jaijiu and SIM join forces to release their highly anticipated single "AYOYE" on Terminal.

Jaijiu, the producer's favorite producer, hails from Argentina and the depths of Soundcloud. Influenced by the sounds of Argentine clubs, Jaijiu reimagines folklore with a powerful energy. His explorations of Latin American rhythms and percussion create baile-core tools that ignite dance floors and keep everyone moving. He has worked closely with colleagues in Buenos Aires to develop a new sound that is rapidly spreading across other hemispheres.

On the other hand, SIM pushes the limits of Sound System Music from Montreal, gaining worldwide recognition. Drawing inspiration from the Dub and Dancehall theories of legends like Lee 'Scratch' Perry and King Tubby, as well as the innovation of Techno pioneers like Plastikman and Jeff Mills, SIM delves into the interplay between space, body, and sound. Since his notable release 'Pu$$ycat' in 2018, SIM has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, expanding his work and reaching new heights.

Additionally, the release will feature an exclusive remix by Con Secuencias, a Mexico-born, Montreal-based sound artist known for his work on immersive platforms and his ability to blend pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican sounds with cumbia, tribal, UK Bass, and footwork. His remix brings an additional unique dimension to this release, offering hybrid tools for the dance floor.

"AYOYE" is a powerful fusion of cultural and musical influences. This Québécois word expresses both pain and astonishment, encapsulating the intensity and surprise of this new single.

SIM & JAIJIU "AYOYE!" + con secuencias Remix (TRdrop 016)

I'm proud to present a new self-release series! For its inaugural edition, Bones Creek / Simitri captures the cold, wet, and eerie atmosphere of Fall, enveloping listeners in a chilling experience. The creeping pads, damp acid lines, and dirty drums evoke an unsettling mood that mirrors the season's descent into darkness.

Bones Creek / Simitri [SIM001]

Mata Riddim / Flexus imagines a space where the essence of a pulsating warehouse in which a dancehall rave is happening. The atmosphere is sweaty, dense with the energy, bodies moving in sync, the air thick with the bass reverberating against concrete walls.

SLOWTECHERS series

Braindance envisions synapses firing and dancing to the rhythm of electric currents flowing through neurons. A fusion of intricate rhythms and deep frequencies, the track captures thought in motion—where the mind becomes the dancefloor.

3oz of it imagines a fluid subspecies that morphs with the rhythm, adapting its plasticity to the ever-evolving pulse of sound. Oscillating between tension and release, the track bends form and function, embodying the adaptability of sonic matter.
