Lab Cleaning Jams closes 2025 with 'The Jam Second', Ivaylo's continuation of his Jam series that began with 'The Jam First'.
This time, Ivaylo leaves the dance floor entirely and dives deep into his purest jazz territory. The Jam Second flows through the essence of nu jazz - expressive, organic, and human - where subtle drum programming meets live-recorded samples, self-played keys, and drums. Each element feels alive, shaped by instinct and musical conversation rather than structure or trend.
The release captures a warm, analog presence - instruments breathing through soft textures, melodies unfolding slowly, and rhythm guiding rather than driving. It's a record made for listeners who truly love jazz in its evolving, exploratory form - timeless, emotional, and deeply personal.

With The Jam Second, Ivaylo signs off 2025 in a calm yet inspired tone - music for reflection, space, and the pure joy of sound.
