House + Breaks + Jazz

Born in Cleveland, OH, the enigmatic producer Sound On Tape draws influence from legends El-B, Burial, Mr. Fingers, Kraftwerk and Sticky as well as deep seated Jazz icons Bill Evans and John Coltrane.

DJ Mag writes that his debut album Price is “rooted in garage, R&B, jazz and house, and brimming with sumptuous gems — the gospel-tinged ‘If You’re Free (Say So)’ and swooning garage / slow-jam hybrid ‘Burnin’ Out’ are particular standouts — it’s rich and heartfelt, the kind of album that stays with you long after the music stops.” Released via his own imprint 904L World Class Sound, the project sonically places him alongside contemporaries Overmono, Burial, Sammy Virji, and Emma-Jean Thackray.

With early remixes from rising UKG stars MPH, Wilfy D, Zefer, and House producer Mike Nasty, Sound On Tape is quickly becoming one of the most respected voices in the genre while keeping art at the forefront.

Studio Jesus AKA STEPHEN PAUL
Dallas native and practiced producer, Studio Jesus, tells stories of love, coming of age, and inner growth through songs as unapologetic as they are effervescent. His newly released album, 111hz (2020), connects sounds of pop rap and alternative rock with contagious trip hop and trap beats that boom along to honest messages. Through unexpected genre blends, compelling lyrics, and an uncompromising commitment to breaking the rules, listeners can’t help but feel seen on a deeply human level.

Studio Jesus, born Stephen Paul Phillips in 1992, made his start in engineering and producing for artists including TAY-K 47, Soulzay, and Stylo. After gaining industry experience and advancing his musical boundaries, Phillips created the moniker, Studio Jesus, and began his own artistic journey. Influenced by artists like Pink Floyd, Gorillaz, and MF DOOM, Studio Jesus released his debut album, Gas Station Rose, in 2017.
