ADDICTECH.COM EXCLUSIVE : JPOD - HALFSTEPPIN : SWING SET SOUNDS


Fresh on the West-Coast bass music scene comes JPOD (the beat chef) with his debut solo album, Halfsteppin. Boasting a chunky and clean production style, his music always endeavours to elevate the spirit and make you smile. This album is no exception, and we're rocking it as an Addictech.com Exclusive!

As an artist truly committed to maintaining movement and dynamism, JPOD intentionally distributed Halfsteppin across a wide variety of tempos. Uplifting melodic progressions, intricate textures and his ever-present bassic bounce are consistent throughout the release. JPOD's rhythm skills combine with the freshness of half-time drum patterns and organic swing to create a compelling character of sound. Halfsteppin is no short achievement, aiming to take you on a dynamic journey along the twists and turns of an audibly alluring adventure.

No stranger to music production, JPOD started in 1996 with a light-hearted and experimental approach. Quickly learning DJ and turntablism skills in 2000, JPOD was initially attracted to organic and bouncy hip-hop and funk music. He entered the club scene in 2004 and was instantly recognized for his trustworthy taste in eclectic songs and precise ability to mix them. From 2005 to the present he has played every year at BC's world-famous Shambhala Music Festival, proving his dedication to staying relevant in the industry. In 2006 JPOD fully embraced producing on a serious level. The combination of being a classically trained pianist and a tech-savvy computer programmer has enabled him to excel as a self-taught producer and sound designer. 2010 saw the creation of Swing Set Sounds, JPOD's colorful label.

Although JPOD comes from musical roots of funk and hip-hop, his production skills and fusion style are pushing him well into new territories of bass, glitch, melody and texture. Halfsteppin's debut is sure to garner attention from all open ears looking to hear something clean and fresh.
