MINUS 102EP
|
JPLS' Voxplosion EP finally reveals key pieces that have woven themselves throughout Richie Hawtin's sets for the past year. "Voxplosion Puss" features an endless vocal statement constantly collapsing in on itself. "Voxplosion Escape" focuses on a conversation regarding one's hopeless, inevitable fate. Radio distortion twists in the background as signature JPLS vocal modulations tear apart. "Voxcycle A" features a gravity-defying bass line and sharp vocal stabs. "Voxcycle B" opens up like a tense computer trying to diagnose its own madness.

MINUS 057EP
|
JPLS returns with more dark, brooding electronics. The urgent repetition of "Fuckshuffle" seems to exist in a million different places at once while the bubbling acid bass worms itself into your head, scribbling odd patterns of thought across your subconscious. "Activatroy" is stripped-down acid techno featuring a dangerous 303 line that morphs and squelches alongside a tripped-out vocal sample. Similarly, "Quasarlude" presents a psychedelic mirage of shimmering sound. Finally, Wax edits the monolithic "Synthesis."

MINUS 044EP
|
This linear down shift in tempo is a product of the American Midwest by way of Jeremy Jacobs, an Indiana native and adventurer searching for secrets in the spaces within the beat. JPLS's analog attitude is stripped down amongst the ever-growing digital landscape of expanding sound fields. Recording as JPLS with recent net releases on Clever and Redevice, he made his first Minus appearance on 2006's min2MAX compilation. The sound falls into a range of dub-punched techno while under the minimal aesthetic from the top down. "Program 1" sets precedent for bass and distortion, "Program 3" bumps and pans around unpadded walls, and "Program 2," is a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses.
