Premiere: J(ay).AD – ‘Lights’

From new EP 'Keti Koti'...

J(ay).AD Suriname-born, Amsterdam-based talent, who uses electronic music to investigate themes of identity and belonging.

New EP 'Keti Koti' emphasises this. Out now via Cosmic Bridge’s new digital-only imprint CBD, it's a fascinating, inquisitive work.

Burring together elements of instrumental grime and footwork, the EP is a definitive break with the producer's earlier work.

It's something hinted at in the title – 'Keti Koti' is a term used for slave emancipation, meaning literally “the chains are cut.”

Clash is able to bring you 'Lights', and it's whirring futurism filters together some fascinating ideas. Check it out now.
