@jjjacob – Body Without Organs [SWT019]

Music as the only relief valve at the hospital. After suffering a brain haemorrhage, in a wheel chair and with the right side of his body paralysed, jjjacob looked for a refuge on his laptop creating music until his wounds healed. The Danish producer realised that his music "quickly changed from being only about having fun and making stuff that sounded cool to trying to express some of the crazy feelings and thoughts going through my head".

After several releases in 2018 and 2019, in which there is an abstract exploration of his rehearsal as an artist, jjjacob debuts in Sweat Taste with "Body Without Organs" [SWT019]. An album where the now healed producer continues exploring his rehab, but in contrast to the previous projects, it is focused more on a physical plane and not so much on an emotional or spiritual level. With all its complexity, "Body Without Organs" talks about the dysfunctionality of the body and how carrying on with a sickness influences our lives. Stigmatization is a big part of disease, but instead of falling into the void, jjjacob takes advantage of these themes and explores them through intense emotional passages.

Tracks like "Floating Corpse" or "Heart Failure" represent the most critical moments of the stroke he suffered and the artist’s intention to dig deeper into it. Using hints of ambient elements that battle with moments of aggressiveness, rave euphoria, breaks and unique structures, the music ends up with giving the listener associations to producers like Lorenzo Senni or Oneohtrix Point Never.. "It felt natural to relate my own experiences with bodily dysfunctionality resulting from the stroke to other forms of illness, which made me think a lot about how to make meaning of the suffering that we all deal with. For me, the best way to make meaning of subjects that are tough to talk about, is by making art. So that’s what I did on this record"
