Jauzas The Shining :: Substance (Specimen)

Substance is a sonic anomaly, its genres skewed just far enough to be vaguely familiar, its resultant a breakthrough balanced across nine tempered tracks.

A sonic anomaly

Downtempo, industrial and techno strands are spread across the vastness of space as the multi-talented Jauzas The Shining (aka Spain-based Sant Joan De Labritja) creates substance from remote sound sources, bringing together disparate elements with ease and control. There’s a certain refinement and minimal aspect to Substance and yet it remains punchy and in your face—a sporadic ebb and flow from the ether. Dense, robotic, and rugged rhythms persist as smothered melodies fade into the bleakness of night. Blending minimal techno tropes with nuanced dark electro slivers, Substance is a sonic anomaly, its genres skewed just far enough to be vaguely familiar, its resultant a breakthrough balanced across nine tempered tracks.

Substance is available on Specimen. [Bandcamp]
