An idea slowly pieced together over the 2020 lockdown, Am Jams is a new alias from acclaimed Manchester based DJ and producer Murder He Wrote. Whereas MHW is more widely associated with bass heavy strains of UK Funky and Garage, Am Jams is a chance to explore slower tempos and House music in general.
Of the project he says: “With so much time away from clubs last year I found myself writing a lot of different styles of music. In some ways not having to worry about having fresh stuff to play in my own sets was cathartic, allowing me to just jam out ideas purely for their own sake rather than needing to fit into the context of my sets or previous releases. Am Jams (short for amateur jams) is my outlet for those bits & pieces”.
'In Too Deep’, pairs Motown guitar stabs with breakbeats and a stunning vocal from long time collaborator Maddie Ellerby for a soulful, driving House track.
On the B side, ‘I Got U’ flips a 1970s Japanese slow jam into an uplifting Filter-House banger. Previously released under the Murder He Wrote moniker, here we present a remastered version in preparation for Summer 2021.
