There were shadows everywhere, they lurked around corners and beneath the streetlights. Their wicked faces were blurry and dark, much like the minds which sat behind their pale shadowy eyes. There was nothing but negative space back there, buried deep in the recesses of their twisted skulls.

The night was chilly and cold, the sound of industry could be heard roaring in the distance. They were building and preparing for what was to come, for it could be any day now.

Smoke filled the air, it was thick and coarse upon the lungs. One deep breath might be all it took to send you into the great beyond.

JR2k aka Jackson Ryland releases a new EP of riotous Techno on Fixed Rhythms. Furious and fast paced with a frenetic energy and poise.

"Between his own DJing and his work at Sorry Records, Nick Boyd has become something of a staple of New York’s club circuit. Behind the boards, he pairs old-school house and techno sounds with a more new-school kitchen-sink mentality. He plays with reverence but without idolatry, paying homage to his favorite scenes without tying himself to them." - Passion of the Weiss 

Previously played for dancefloors like Nowadays, Bossa Nova Civic Club, Jellyfish x Certain Death II (Pittsburgh), Social Studies (Boston), Good Room, Mansions, Slingshot Festival (Durham), Glen Falls House, IRL, Middlesex Lounge (Cambridge), Elsewhere, resident at Jupiter Disco...
