Knit together with ambient passages and found sound, the teenage rapper and producer’s debut feels like a jumbled journey through folders of ideas that reveals new layers with every listen.

The Ohio rapperâs new EP devours a half-decade of online scenes and styles and spits them out into a psychedelic combination that often feels overly referential.

âBreak Shitâ â JasiahVia SoundCloud
The rap industry has always moved fast, but the tempo at which new hip-hop trends spread and proliferate means that many artists can become deeply influential while still being relatively young. Dayton, Ohioâs Jasiah is an obvious byproduct of the speed of digital music, steeped in a world of online micro-genres, furiously sliding between contemporary rap-rock and something closer to hyperpop.

ASTRYD
UK Duo ASTRYD made a name for themselves over the last four years as residents and founders of Dialogue, hosting parties in London and Bristol. They launched a label of the same name in 2019 with debut single ‘Lapse’, and the imprint has since become a platform to display their techno-leaning releases and other core artists. Their first EP ‘Blind Summit’ was written during lockdown and explores themes such as togetherness and isolation. Fractured beats and swirling soundscapes roll throughout the EP, from the downtempo moments of ‘Numbing’ to speedier BPMs on ‘Allocated Leisure Time’.
Plenty of their inspiration has come from the dancefloor; during their four years of parties they invited guests such Afrodeutsche, Machine Woman and object blue to join them. As we await the re-opening of clubs, they continue to move things forward with ‘Blind Summit’ dropping this month, as well as an online stream and panel with queer techno collective Opulence. Part of
