Jazztronica Rises
by Corey
Gen Z’s propensity for genre-fusing has finally led us to the revitalization of the sonic palette known as Jazztronica. The genre is characterized by the synthesis of improvisational jazz, programmed funk beats and synths. The sound is both radically virtuosic and playfully chopped up – a combination of qualities you’ll find in both 20th-century jazz icons and the 21st-century’s chronically online zoomers. Like its cousin acid jazz, Jazztronica emerged parallel to the electronic music scene of the 1990s with artists such as St Germain and Nujabes. Within the last few years, a surge of artists including DOMi & JD BECK, BADBADNOTGOOD, and Sen Morimoto ushered a new wave of Jazztronica that merges traditional, boundless improvisation with electronic experimentation. Here’s some tracks that flip the upright bass right on its head, in the best way:
St Germain - Rose rouge
Dizzy Gillespie, NerdStar - Tin Tin Deo (Nerdstar Remix
Soundscape Orchestra - Dream Drone
DOMi & JD BECK, Herbie Hancock - MOON
Sen Morimoto - Pressure on the Pulse
