“When I started writing this record, in my head, I was 18 years old, at Liquid & Envy in my hometown of Redhill on a Saturday night,” Jam City said in a press release. “Fuck London, I’d only been there a few times for school trips anyway. This was where it was. Walking through the doors of Photek’s ‘Mine to Give’, it felt like I had walked into Studio 54 or something. There’s a ridiculously splattered mural of the Manhattan skyline over the bar, neon lights everywhere, and the floors are sticky with cheap champagne. Shivering in the rain-soaked parking lot, a group of girls from my school share a lighter with local bikers in their leathers; Harley, Honda, Yamaha…”.
Jam City broke through in the early 2010s as a producer associated with the Night Slugs label. In particular, he produced music for Kelela’s cut 4 me and take me aside. In recent years, she has made a name for herself in the pop mainstream, working on tracks for Troye Sivan. Bloom and Olivia Rodrigo Sour.
