Melbourne based producer, DJ and co-founder of Sumac Records, Jon Watts delivers his Butter Sessions debut, Music for 3 CDJs. With over 10 years experimenting as an artist, Jon has an established history with the Australian underground scene. Music for 3 CDJs, showcases two contrasting sides, revealing his ability to seamlessly navigate manifold sounds.<\/p>\n
The A-side presents three distinct tracks, thread together with restless percussion and a propulsive force. The introduction to the EP, Prohaasation, is a medley of techno and electro fabrics which progressively build before abruptly halting — generating suspense for the track to follow. The feverish William gasps and screeches in tones that peak and fall, accompanied by audio maintained throughout; reminiscent of a malfunctioning fax machine. Now It’s Done is a choppy and disjointed piece yet coherent in its structure that makes for a rewarding conclusion to the release’s first chapter.<\/p>\n
Subtlety and minimalism prevail for side B, as Jon gifts us with loops that swirl and churn. AMB 4 marks the first deviation from the narrative of Side A; sounding like hypnotic swelling from the bottom of a deep well. AMB 5 follows suit, divulging more of the picture. Carved out of a sound bed of field recordings, the nine and a half minute piece enchants with its repetitive arc, a spaciousness mirrored in the EP’s farewell. The last track Piano 1, is an intricate study of a singular piano chord, examining the layers of the chord’s sustain that are disclosed. A testament to Jon’s unadorned restraint and confirmation of the old adage that less is really more.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":513158,"template":"","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8018,12362],"product_tag":[32264],"giftcard-category":[],"musicartist":[27039],"musiclabel":[4979],"musicstyle":[37890,37901,37937,38021],"distributormusic":[10834],"musicyear":[],"musiccountry":[39538],"weekmusic":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-513221","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-back-in-stock","7":"product_cat-out-of-stock","8":"product_tag-discogs","9":"musicartist-jon-watts","10":"musiclabel-butter-sessions","11":"musicstyle-ambient","12":"musicstyle-breaks","13":"musicstyle-experimental","14":"musicstyle-techno","15":"distributormusic-one-nation","16":"musiccountry-australia","18":"first","19":"outofstock","20":"featured","21":"taxable","22":"shipping-taxable","23":"purchasable","24":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/513221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"musicartist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"musiclabel","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiclabel?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"musicstyle","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicstyle?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"distributormusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/distributormusic?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"musicyear","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicyear?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"musiccountry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musiccountry?post=513221"},{"taxonomy":"weekmusic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weekmusic?post=513221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
