jay sound: h o m e
Francisco Espregueira
If you follow O Sótão, you know by now the deep appreciation we have for Jay Sound’s output. There’s no other way to put it - we’re big fans of his music. Dropping today, H O M E, is his second LP of 2022, following his summer banger HEAT. On his new work, Jay opens the gates for a session of warmth & mesmerizing explorations of Detroit’s native tones, from heavy percussion, lush Rhode chords, polyrhythmic patterns & dark deep atmosphere. Before entering 2023, a year in which Jay Sound plans to have a new approach to his music, releasing a unique series of 4 records, H O M E is his homage to the Motor City, reflecting the love for the city’s special musical environment.
H O M E goes deep into the beautiful & sonically diverse palette of the city that raised Jay. Although approaching different genres, the album is connected by his unique production style. And that is a recurrent theme in Jay Sound discography, presenting a gorgeous blend of jazz, bruk & detroit house, never failing in providing a particular ambiance that is cinematic and bold… H O M E is also an ODE to the greats that can even stand with the likes of Theo, Moodymann, Waajeed, Delano & so many more when it comes to bringing forth something unique and yet familiar to what makes Detroit stand out among the rest sonically. Available on Bandcamp, this another diamond coming from the infinite talent of Jay Sound.
“This LP is about my love, upbringing & overall Thank U to my home, the place that raised me as an artist, everything in between that is the magic that makes Detroit...Detroit”
