were here all the time

Theory Therapy is pleased to present were here all the time by jp (aka J.P Wright) the New York producer behind one of last years shinetiac remixes on the OST label, and a member of Housecraft Recordings trip-bient group Ahem.

Compiling several years of well-worn material, the Brooklyn artists debut solo LP was the result of many hours of hardware jams and happy accidents, later meticulously edited down into these seven arrangements. Blending first-thought-best-thought spontaneity with extended DAW labouring, Wright delivers some of the most immediate music yet on Theory Therapy.

The album is reminiscent of 90s and early-00s IDM. Syncopated rhythms and atmosphere swirl into a mutable whole, as hardcore breakbeat, ambient trance and acidic electro bleed together into a liquid mlange. The sequencing drifts from gauzy, ethereal openings into tensile, club-ready pressure before swerving toward moments of stillness like lingering in an emptied club hours after the crowd has gone.

Theres a distinct physicality to the music too. Kick patterns jitter like loose live wires, delays ripple through the fog-soaked air, yet the albums finest moments lie in its more subtle textures and tonal shifts. This is proper braindance that keeps you suspended in its pulse, caught in non-linear time. Wright lets the music wander in unpredictable arcs, moments folding back on themselves, stretching in multiple directions at once tracing and retracing a memory that refuses to settle.
