Viral Artist jigitz Drops Debut EP ‘all my exes live in brooklyn”‘

Viral artist/producer jigitz comes in strong with his debut EP drop via R&R. The 8-track EP all my exes live in brooklyn follows the success of the artist’s first 2025 release ‘tell You straight’. Moreover, the artist took a significant leap this year, quitting his job just before completing the mini-album. He is now about to embark on a major North American Tour.

The EP showcases jigitz’s unique and fresh soundscapes, alongside co-producer Aire Atlantica. The synthetic and ethereal female vocals are the main character of the mini-album. This adds character and consistency to the body of work. Nonetheless, the EP is extremely emotional and uplifting, with versatile beats. It has strong breakbeat, house, garage, and ambient influences.

The story about the EP is funny yet sweet and silly. “I quit my job and went straight to Montana with my manager – who’s also my best friend – and Aire Atlantica, somewhere none of us had ever been. We hit Best Buy, grabbed the biggest speakers we could find, then returned them after we finished the EP. Everything about emigrant Montana felt cowboy-coded: the rented F-150, the borrowed boots, dusty bar TVs flickering rodeos in the background while we made dance music. ‘All My Exes Live in Brooklyn’ riffs off the George Strait classic, a nod to the ’90s country I grew up on…”

” even though most of my exes actually live in Manhattan – Brooklyn just sounded better. It was the first time I’ve worked with another producer, and it felt like Aire became part of the jigitz band for a moment. My manager cooked for us, played A&R, and got quietly sad when the Knicks lost.”

Hailing from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and currently NYC-based, viral artist/producer jigitz is in a league of his own when it comes to the sound of his music. His style is a mix of breakbeat, house, future garage, and ambient. He had his debut release in 2018, which was followed by a 5-year hiatus. Then, he restarted his career in 2023 to become the viral phenomenon he’s today.

His viral track “tell you straight” from Feb 2025 has over 25 million streams, and counting, with remixes from Ely Oaks, Inji, Badger, Killen., and Louis The Child. The track also spent multiple weeks on the Billboard Dance Chart and the viral charts in several countries. It also re-entered the Billboard‘s Hot Dance/Electronic chart 2 weeks ago (screenshot attached). Furthermore, he is known for his in-the-round boiler room style sets. Videos of these sets led to his viral TikTok moment.
