jackson & his computerband entstand im dunstkreis der letzten disco-funken der french-house-bewegung, aus dem auch daft punk und phoenix entsprangen. jackson zerlegte den filter-house seiner vorgänger und vermischte orchestralen bombast, techno und gothic-hiphop zu einer eigenwilligen mixtur, die einen hauch von post-millennium-barock in den rave zurückbrachte. doch im gegensatz zu daft punk und phoenix verschwand jackson danach in der versenkung, um nun endlich - als neuberliner - den langerwarteten nachfolger abzuliefern. *glow* ist ein lustspiel aus musikalischen obsessionen und furiosem vergnügen, das nur jemand erzeugen kann, der mit hardcore-techno sozialisiert wurde, aber im laufe seiner entwicklung zeitlosen pop und den unklassifizierbaren funk eines prince lieben lernte.

cardiff massive giovanni branciamore and bradley albertides heard nicoles amazing sultry folky tones on the flowers of flesh & blood album and just had to work up some nip and bop to sit with her voice. nicole loved it and this is it! we are not too sure what to label this music under but tags of future nip hop ambient folk bop seem to be close. sarah burgess is a secret forest folky vocalist from york with a super soft ambient tone to her voice which was crying out for a touch of flyypost nip. luv*jams ambient alter ego flyypost slides out some wobbled out bass lines, floaty synths and a 68bpm raw kick drum all gliding on a bed of waves with sarahs stunning memories vocal. what style of music do we label this as? neo italo nip folk acid whop?
