Sydney artist Jake Meadows has been capturing a bit of attention of late thanks to his unique take on brooding, moody electronica.
Having recently unveiled the stunning single ‘Echo of Tomorrow’ is sees the Daniel Johns collaborator carve his own niche, drawing inspiration from years of experimenting with modern electronic techniques, classical harp and rich harmonious layers.
To celebrate the single release and to get to know Jake Meadows a little better, he has compiled a mixtape featuring his eclectic inspirations. Check it out below and if you like what you;re hearing be sure to visit his Facebook page for more info.
Alice Coltrane – Journey in Satchidananda
This was the first time I had heard harp being used as the lead instrument. The album has some great voodoo through out.
Royce wood Junior- Honeydripper (alt mix)
I nearly crashed the car when I heard the alternate mix of RWJ ‘Honeydripper’. I think it was on FBI. I ended up sending him a msg telling him I was impressed but kind of pissed off at how good he was, in nicest possible way. He found it rather amusing.
Atoms For Peace- Judge Jury and Executioner
I love the production and vocal approach of Thom Yorke. This is another one I heard on the radio first and had to pull the car over.
Caribou- Can’t Do Without You
I love listening to the journey of Caribou from early more psychedelic pop to the more dance influenced sounds of now. This track is a stand out.
Fela Kuti – Suffering and shambling
I reckon the best party is a Fela Kuti party. All night all day.
