art:cast °110 | Jex Opolis

Jexy is around the corner. Jexy or rather It's Me, Jexy - the third album and successor of Jex Opolis' 'midlife crisis' album Net Worth that came out on his Good Timin' label in 2020. And it surely is a good timing for a new LP from the core artist, who choses various musical approaches for It's Me, Jexy without becoming arbitrary but making the ten-tracker sound like a smooth ride through his preferences. However, when producing the album Jex Opolis had just undergone several changes: he left New York City to move back to Edmonton and basically had to break with digging routines and being surrounded by music 24/7. But in every ending is a new beginning and Jex wouldn't be the artist he is if he didn't find a way to cope with the new situation and produce an album that hits close to being home – at least musically. Shorty before the release of the ten gems Jex, whose life seemingly circles around music to 99%, speaks about Tik Tok, Wayne Gretzky, bad timin', contracts with Sven, shitty movies and crucial topics like the won back freedom of producing music, the wish to be artistically heard and seen, the blessing and the curse of social media and phones on the dancefloor, what he wishes the scene to do once clubs open properly again, and of course how the album came about. Also Jex delivers the latest art:cast giving us a sneak peak of the album and its Gem(s).

Dea Barandana is an artist we are thrilled to see make the step from his local scene towards the international circuit. Originally from Jakarta, where he started out mixing records for a local breakdance crew, he was eventually throwing warehouse parties before ending up one island further, on Bali, where he’s a familiar face at Potato Head Beach Club and Studio Eksotika.

This mix he did for us lays out his talent for weaving together unfound rarities from then and now, connecting dots between different musical tropes of the Asian diaspora. The result is a meandering journey across forgotten recordstores and dusty crates, reminiscent of island life and the smell of kretek, to modern club music and back. 

Starting off like a warm breeze, the mix quickly gears up to grooving disco and bright Asian synthpop. Further down the 100-minute trip, the journey spirals from its effervescent moods down into darker, more spiritual affairs, with compelling percussion and sturdier basslines — just before locking down with laidback, dreamlike endnote to seal it off.
