JUJO explores the realms of funk, disco and house on powerful new “Currents” EP
It’s a groove-rich journey from the Australian powerhouse producer
Australian producer JUJO might just be one of the best-kept secrets in electronic music, but his new Currents EP might be the touchpaper to a world of international acclaim.. Released via French label Sidekick Music, This five-track suite is a seriously polished piece of work that blends his roots in funk, soul, and disco with a massive, euphoric dancefloor energy.
There’s serious vibes from the start on this… You can hear the love of early noughties festival house anthems, there’s pop sensibilities influenced by Kaskade or Swedish House Mafia, but JUJO has filtered that through a cooler, more angular lens— there’s even moments of french house from an australian artist which we love to hear… The lead single “For You” featuring fellow australian Blush’ko – has a deep, melodic house element to it and provides a seriously deep club anthem.. “4X4” is as the name suggests, and takes influence from french house pastiche..
It’s no surprise that JUJO is an ARIA Award-winning producer, Every beat and layer is meticulously placed. He manages to create these huge, emotional moments without ever sacrificing the groove. Tracks like “iSLand” showcase his knack for writing something genuinely cathartic and melodic, proving that dance music can be engineered for both movement and feeling
Currents is a cohesive, five-track journey that marks a defining moment for the Melbourne native. it’s got soul, and it confirms JUJO as one of the most exciting electronic voices coming out of Australia right now. Definitely one to check out.
