Arterials by Monojoke
Liner Notes
Jacek Gumbisz, better known as the Polish producer - Monojoke, first made his appearance on Juicebox Music through his phenomenal remix of Subandrio's ‘Sigiriya' in early 2016 and now makes his return to the label with his very own 2-track EP titled 'Arterials'. Monojoke's melodic yet percussive & groove driven productions have found themselves on imprints like JOOF Aura, Soundteller, Balkan Connection & ICONYC to name a few, while his fairly new collaborative project ‘Fluente', together with Tuxedo, saw releases on Hernan Cattaneo's "Sudbeat Music" as well as Hot Since 82's "Knee Deep In Sound". With a track record like that, it's fairly acceptable to consider Monojoke's music to be highly sought after amongst DJs & fellow producers alike. With his EP on Juicebox, he stays true to himself keeping the label ethos in mind, delivering 2 heavy hitters. The title track 'Arterials', features a delayed blippy element that rhythmically evolves as it progresses under the driving groove, while a impactful melody shines through in the breakdown, creating an anthemic moment. The accompanying track 'Backwards' kicks off with Monojoke's signature-crafted groove, with some moody elements peeking through as we head towards a darker territory when it's sinister melody takes over.
To remix ‘Arterials', we're happy to introduce the much awaited debut appearance on Juicebox Music, India's very own - Greenage. Hailing from the gorgeous beaches of Goa, Greenage Fernandes dived into the electronic music culture after being exposed to the early sounds of trance coming from his city. As the years went by, he became inspired to work on his own music after seeing countless artists perform their music. Fast forward a few years and after his recent break-through EPs on Stellar Fountain & Astrowave, he's quickly become one of the most in-demand progressive house producers. Greenage's rendition of ‘Arterials' goes straight for the jugular. Focusing on the infectious groove, while scattered melodic bits and an evolving riff, that was modified from the original, revolves around it.
Stepping up to the plate to remix ‘Backwards', and to close this release, is Argentina's Matias Chilano, who's making his debut on Juicebox Music as well. Having learnt the drums & piano at such a young age of just 7 years old, Matias' was destined to be involved with music and soon took a keen interest in electronic sounds as he grew up. His countless remixes and stand-out originals under his belt has earned him appearances on labels like Sound Avenue, Lowbit, One of A Kind & many more, making Matias Chilano a house-hold name amongst every progressive house aficionados. His remix of Monojoke's ‘Backwards' takes on a more exquisite & restrained approach with smoother tones, stripped back drums, hypnotic atmospheric shots & traces of the original melody in parts while Matias adds an extra melodic arp to give some more character to finish things off in a classy way.
