Jump Source - Endlessly ft. BEA1991 | cool songs (and how i found em) #18
a standout from my fav album of the year thus far
the song: Jump Source - “Endlessly” ft. BEA1991 [Spotify | Apple Music]
Following a series of singles dating back to 2019, Montreal production duo Jump Source released their debut album at the end of April. While their prior output consisted of beautifully detailed dance music spanning tech, minimal, dub and prog house, Fold [Spotify | Apple Music] casts a wider and more ambitious net presumably informed by their recent production for other artists.
“Endlessly” is perhaps the most impressive realization of the album’s strengths, fusing the distinctive club-ready sound of their previous work with expertly crafted pop sensibilities. At times it hits like a sing-a-long before dropping directly into deep dance floor bliss, full of signature Jump Source flourishes.
Dutch-British artist BEA1991’s contribution to the success of this track can’t be understated. She delivers absolutely stunning melodies, particularly when she jumps an octave. Her solo work is well worth a listen…
how I found it: Patrick Holland, Priori & naff Recordings
Jump Source consists of Patrick Holland and Priori, both of whom I've been following for close to a decade. But in the last two years or so, the two DJ/producers, who share a studio in Montreal, have been producing on some of my favorite trip-hop / dream pop albums from James k, Maara and Car Culture. The latter two projects (and the Jump Source album) were released by Priori's naff recordings, my favorite current label.
The Jump Source album serves as a celebration of Montreal’s current flourishing scene as well as its rich electronic music history. My next therabeats playlist will be dedicated to Canadian electronic music so stay tuned for more. In the meantime, Jump Source’s Fader Mix, which features some all-time Montreal electronic classics, is a perfect companion to their album.
