VARIOUS / JESSY LANZA DJ Kicks

2LP Black Vinyl
(Unmixed Selections)

Jessy Lanza has always made music that perfectly suits the mood whether its the heads-down trance of the dancefloor or that hazy, post-club bliss. Its no surprise for an artist that takes electronic musics most intoxicating sensibilities and effortlessly reimagines them as experimental pop and R&B. The Canadian singer, producer and DJ from Hamilton, Ontario, has trodden an inspiring path which led to 2013s boldly minimalist debut Pull My Hair Back, released on revered UK label Hyperdub. Gorgeously complex follow-ups Oh No shortlisted for Canadas prestigious Polaris Prize and 2020s All the Time crowned her as a singular talent in the left-of-pop sphere.

Its with this genre-bending approach that Jessy Lanza presents her entry for the DJ-Kicks series a sprawling, club-indebted odyssey that draws you in closer and closer with each listen. Recorded this summer, the mix is an incisive snapshot of her emotional landscape during the past 18 months. In 2020, with nothing but a van, a few personal belongings and her musical gear, Lanza and her partner relocated from New York City to the Bay Area to ride out the pandemic. A change of scenery, buoyed by the slower pace of their new home, gave her a fresh perspective during a worldwide screeching halt.

Jessy Lanzas DJ-Kicks mix also arrives as a divine stroke of timing. As the world slowly starts to re-open, its a portal into the ecstatic energy of the dancefloor; an emblem of genuine healing both personal and communal that transports listeners to a state of pure euphoria.
