Fast Times is the musical alter ago of Jorge Day, a Brooklynite with a taste for slick, bass heavy rhythms and spaced out synths. 

Jorge's musical CV includes synth duties in Wierd Records mope-pop act Plastic Flowers as well as production for sultry neo-wavers Lingerie, but when left to his own devices he crafts dance floor ready beats under the Fast Times flag. Fast Times’ debut LP Bodytalk dropped with the purveyors of basement lux grooves over at LA imprint 100% Silk in 2013 with Gorilla vs. Bear noting the warm, analog vintage vibes. There's a starkness and crunch to these tracks that skews them more towards the proto-house vibe of various mid-80's analog sides, when productions were more about raw rhythms and melodic minimalism, instead of the prolonged tension-and-release model which dominates to this day. 

History aside, Fast Times creates a tripped out skeletal synthesis of numerous styles, including house and bass.
