Fever

“Fever / Focus is a brand new EP – split over two 12s – which sports his best music to date: a fusion of analogue and digital house and techno with an amped up melodic sensibility. On Avatar Beach we hear shimmering broken trance and early tech house of the late 90s stretched and spun back new brand new electronica. Classic euphoria cut with new technology.

Jacques Greene is not a purist. Since 2009 he has continued to create unabashedly contemporary, avant garde dance music. Reacting to dance music as an increasingly conservative form, looking to old hardware for its ideas. At 29 years old and nine years into releasing music, Jacques Greene is more interested in the imagined history of dance music and how the form intersects with contemporary software, fashion, the internet, pop and R&B.

On his debut album Feel Infinite he soundtracked the club as a sacred space for youth. Quasi public / quasi private – the club offers us a place to be shut out the world, together. On Fever / Focus we step outside into the real world and watch the sunset across an (avatar) beach.”
