Via an astute ear for electrons fluttering in downtempo streams, On The Horizon reinvigorates vintage synths, bass guitars, funk and good old-school electronics and ignites these frequencies with a certain style that Mojo Rising is recognized for.
Los Angeles-based Mojo Rising (aka Joel Semchuck and DJ Mojo to most) returns to enrich our sonic palettes with a new burst of sounds on his latest for Cold Busted. On The Horizon delves into a smorgasbord of electronic sub-genres including overlapped trip-hop flavoring, breakbeat, bass, funk and experimental periphery that is crystal clear in its unwavering production. Echoing classic releases by Hooverphonic, Statik Sound System and Purple Penguin et al—especially initial titles on labels such as Cup Of Tea and Ninja Tune—Mojo Rising dips straight into loosened terrain. Blending the above-mentioned genre’s via an astute ear for electrons fluttering in downtempo streams, On The Horizon reinvigorates vintage synths, bass guitars, funk and good old-school electronics and ignites these frequencies with a certain style that Mojo Rising is recognized for. Where previous output delved into intricate strains of electro and breakbeat, On The Horizon realigns the rhythms and slows them down for a more laid-back approach and succeeds at keeping the listeners attention. Move, groove or just sit down to consume.
On The Horizon is available on Cold Busted. [Amazon]
