JBXDR has shared his new single ‘Like L’ in a premiere via popular Youtube channel Madorasindahouse. The track is set for release on 18 October via Springstoff. The Experimental drummer and innovative live performer has already seen support from Resident Advisor, Data Transmission, Clash Magazine, Son Of Marketing, Elicit Magazine and Broadway World, as well as radio support from Amazing Radio. He has worked alongside notable producers such as Andy Baldwin ​(Hidden Orchestra​, Belle & Sebastian​), Jeremy Loucas ​(Spacepilot​), Diana Krall (Order Of Canada​) and Terry Lynn Carrington ​(Giovanni Tommaso Quintet​). JBXDR has showcased his talent of the stages of Fringe and The Great Escape ​in Brighton, UK, as well as a string of German festivals including Reeperbahn Festival​, Übel und Gefährlich​, Hakken​, Badehaus​, Plötzlich am Meer​, At.tension #7​, LALA Festival​, and Habitat Festival. He was selected by software music sequencer Ableton Live to be featured in collaboration with Mattokind for several live videos and a documentary presented on their site. https://youtu.be/TuwEb7bvG3I Born and raised in the idyllic countryside of the Schleswig-Holstein region in Germany, and now based in Berlin, JBDXR is the moniker of Jörn Bielfeldt. He creates original compositions, on the spot remixes, and performs every element of his sound design live - sampling, slicing and mapping different sounds onto a drumset. He is Managing and Artistic Director of Papenwohld gGmbH, a non-profit organization that aims to promote artists and creative professionals providing them with a forum, a place to give their creativity free reign and an event location. Supported by Native Instruments, the venue is located on a beautiful farmstead, and Bielfeldt’s work there was recently documented in a short film on their website. JBXDR is inspired by acts such as drummer, new wave and avant-garde producer Deantoni Parks (The Mars Volta, Bosnian Rainbows, ORL Projects) and J Dilla, who inspired a wave of underground and hip-hop scene. However, his unique sound and creative compositions draw parallels to that of electronic counterparts Shigeto​, Teebs and Flying Lotus. On ‘Like L’, JBXDR showcases his production prowess by washing a stately monochromatic drum beat with a melodic piano-driven melody. The result is an upbeat offering with a sophisticated yet soulful centre. The undulating bass and entwining patterns create a sense of eternal movement, all characterised by JBXDR’s signature style of composition. Speaking of the track JBXDR explains: “‘Like L’ wants to take you close to that moment right before the last sunbeams catch your eye. It’s flow, repetition and expression in the details. This track started with a few short piano chops mapped to my snare drums and a simple row of bass notes mapped to my kick. From the first moments of improving it and tweaking the setup I knew that this one wanted to shine bright and light and just flow forever.“ Upcoming Shows 22 October 2019 - Hansa48, Kiel 23 October 2019 - Kukulida, Dresden 01 November 2019 - Club Zenit, Schwerin 07 February 2020 - Kühlhaus, Flensburg February 2020 - CMJK, Lübeck Read the full article

The Josh Craig is a singer, songwriter, producer, DJ & visual artist currently located in Brooklyn, NY. Often blending genres, TJC has a one of a kind style and flavorful stage presence. He is currently working on a collaboration with Shigeto. JBXDR is inspired by acts such as drummer, new wave and avant-garde producer Deantoni Parks (The Mars Volta, Bosnian Rainbows, ORL Projects) and J Dilla, who inspired a wave of underground and hip-hop scene. However, his unique sound and creative compositions draw parallels to that of electronic counterparts Shigeto​, Teebs and Flying Lotus. ‘Soul Fool ft The Josh Craig’ is beautifully rendered - from the effluvient vocals to the consistently atmospheric and glistening instrumentals. The track sprawls out in a relaxed bliss, the pair moving confidently through a wide spectrum of moods and smiling sounds. It’s all delivered with welcoming warmth and modesty, over impeccable electronic grooves. Speaking of the track JBXDR explains: “I had a feeling that ‘Soul Fool’ needed to become the first track to feature a vocalist. I had just met Josh out in Berlin, his energy was strong and inspired and we resonated straight away. So I ended up sending him a bounce only to receive the first vocal sketches days later. At which point we knew that this would be only the first collaborations of many to come. A song where packaging fits content, ‘Soul Fool’ is just that. A gorgeous R&B influenced piece of musical cake - warm and embracing like honey. The vocals add a tinge of longing and an emotional three-dimensionality to the mix. The track itself highlights my understanding and maybe even manifests my vision on keeping a motif and its realm interesting and flowing throughout its different universes.” Read the full article

Electronic producer and experimental drummer JBXDR has released ‘Pocketcall’ on 23 August via Springstoff. JBXDR has worked alongside notable producers such as Andy Baldwin ​(Hidden Orchestra​, Belle & Sebastian​), Jeremy Loucas ​(Spacepilot​), Diana Krall (Order Of Canada​) and Terry Lynn Carrington ​(Giovanni Tommaso Quintet​). The artist has already seen substantial press support from Resident Advisor, Clash Magazine, Data Transmission and Son Of Marketing radio support from Amazing Radio. JBXDR has showcased his talent of the stages of Fringe and The Great Escape ​in Brighton, UK, as well as a string of German festivals including Reeperbahn Festival​, Übel und Gefährlich​, Hakken​, Badehaus​, Plötzlich am Meer​, At.tension #7​, LALA Festival​, and Habitat Festival. He was selected by software music sequencer Ableton Live to be featured in collaboration with Mattokind for several live videos and a documentary presented on their site. https://open.spotify.com/track/1ZnTaGKFAC4nTSuGSRll63?si=0wfm5KubT460W4mofUjWvg JBXDR is the nom de guerre of Jörn Bielfeldt, experimental drummer and innovative live performer. Currently residing in Berlin, Bielfeldt studied jazz drumming at the renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts​. He creates original compositions, on the spot remixes, and performs every element of his sound design live. He is Managing and Artistic Director of Papenwohld gGmbH, a non-profit organization that aims to promote artists and creative professionals providing them with a forum, a place to give their creativity free reign and an event location. Supported by Native Instruments, the venue is located on a beautiful farmstead in Schleswig-Holstein, and Bielfeldt’s work there was recently documented in a short film on their website. Citing influence from acts such as J Dilla, who inspired a wave of underground and hip-hop scene, as well as drummer, new wave and avant-garde producer Deantoni Parks (The Mars Volta, Bosnian Rainbows, ORL Projects) his sound draws parallels to that of electronic counterparts Shigeto​, Teebs and Flying Lotus. ‘Pocketcall’ is a plethora of intricate sounds, underpinned by JBXDR’s signature experimental drumming. The track is at once daunting and fragile, with a slightly dragging beat adding gravitas. A woman’s voice is mixed in with the heavier downbeat creating the atmosphere of an echo - reminiscent of once intense memories that have become a faded emotional riddle. Speaking of the track JBXDR explains: “After I had finished my debut record Wave Talk in a very open, but time-limited process based on improvisation and live performances, I wanted to take much more time in the lab this time around. Though I obviously wanted to push my own musicality in the making, I mainly strived to capture rather intimate and private perspectives in the music. ‘Pocketcall’ for example is pretty much a hymn to my love life with my partner.. who - by the way, is sampled all over this track.” No 2 EP Tracklist: 1 Pocketcall 2 Soul Fool ft The Josh Craig 3 Wanna Be Yellow 4 Fck Mars 5 Like L Read the full article
