The evolution of ‘A World Of Service’ has curved around genre collapsing and unexpected metamorphoses. Formerly the name of the monthly radio show JASSS hosted in Berlin, and soon to be the title of her expansive multi-sensory touring concept in collaboration with Ben Kreukniet, here ‘A World Of Service’ is powerfully concentrated in sonic form. Throughout the album JASSS muses on the especially current human and technological barriers to interconnectivity; both lyrically and musically she deconstructs the self, unmasks anxieties and interrogates the insufficiencies of language as applied to gender, identity and interpersonal relationships. Forming her own fluid, nuanced lexicon in response, JASSS seeks a deeper understanding of her multiple selves, emerging through unbridled adolescent rage and the wisdom of maturation, traversing liminality with abstract electronics and baroque industrial pop. Visually this is underscored by Matt Lambert’s uncanny floral cover portraiture, as well as the record’s distinct scent of wet earth, flower and woods developed for the album by Meri Bonastre and applied to the vinyl innersleeve.

Following the imaginative nostalgia of ‘Weightless’, her 2017 debut album for iDEAL Recordings, as well as her blistering dancefloor 12” for Whities / AD 93, ‘A World Of Service’ folds personal and societal concepts in on themselves, not seeking answers but rather luxuriating in the unique friction that questions create. JASSS is intensely focused yet musically unbridled; this is reflected in tonal shifts of ‘A World Of Service’. Through the computerised yearning and bruising of a heartbreak on “Luis”, to the jagged and wordless tundra of “Vapor Dentro”; the intriguing juxtaposition of warm, alluring Spanish vocals against rigid pillars of industrial heft and bass grind (“Camelo”), and the soaring maximalist industrial pop of the album’s closer, “Wish.”

As intensity rises through the pandemic-era trip hop of the album’s title track “A World Of Service”, JASSS sings:

“Pleasure /
Is nowhere to be found inside this world of service /
I call to be my life.”

Pleasure may remain elusive to her, but in the determination to make peace with her various identities in this technological age, JASSS offers a compelling glimpse into an essential type of artistic voice.

"Bihotza began doing sessions in Malasaña nights in Madrid, with the aim of create a dialogue with the dance floor, feel its energy and promoting the values that are generated in the club and in the electronic community, through “social electronics”. Highlighting the elegance of her selection and the journey wich her transports attendees to her sessions. She is currently resident of the Jimmy Jazz venue with” HEARTz club” and resident of the Bilbao Random Apocalypse club."

Mantra Recording XIX - Oliver

Her hair is like gold
Wawing in the wind
Her heart is a diamond
Shining in the dark
And her voice..
Like the taste of a pulsating, hypnotic and beautiful nigh

2018 has unarguably been a great year for Electro both with overall visibility for the public as well as with the sheer number of quality releases being put out thus far. This year also happened to be a year that I chose to outsource my weekly show duties to other DJs from all around the world. With a newfound buzz surrounding my beloved genre, I'm hardly keeping up! I feel like It's been a busy year both production wise and promotion wise for @DVSNME and @DarkScienceElectro respectively, however, I put together a mix of my favorite 18 tracks in 2018 thus far. Thanks to all the artists and DJs for the promos that made this mix possible. (@dvsnme July 10th, 2018)
