Jason Peters has been part of San Francisco's fertile music scene for over two decades. The producer and DJ, who also operates under the guise of JP Soul, is the man at the helm of Roam Recordings. Born in 2001, with a brief hiatus between 2007 and 2012, the label was initially focused on spotlighting artists within his home city. But after the rebirth, he decided to take his search further afield and take the music policy in a new direction in the process.

The sounds that make up the label's catalogue mirror Jason's tastes completely; the goal has never been to make it big, it's always been about representing the music that he loves and making sure that it gets the recognition it deserves. 

Just like Jason's own productions, which also appear on the label, the music is dark and hypnotic, cosmic and driving - sounds that'll take you down a wormhole. There are a lot of labels and artists treading similar terrain these days, but Jason was spearheading this new wave of exciting and unique dance music a long time ago.

To mark his new release, an EP with remixes Prins Thomas and The Juan MacLean, we asked him to contribute to our main mix series. Get locked in for an hour of psychedelic rhythms and synth-laced dance cuts that sum up Jason's musical world...

Jason Peters: The 'Ransom Note' Mix

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
