When a rhythm is stripped down to its most basic form, all that remains is the drum. While the drum's pattern can range in complexity, it's simplicity as the base element for rhythm is indisputable.
This simplistic desire, to strip things down to their most raw element led DJ 3000 to create the Jrums. Established as an outlet for more dance floor centric productions that have fallen outside of his Motech Records label, Jrums is a laboratory for creating raw compositions.
Kicking off Jrums in 2017 with a brand new producer 'Jeran Portis'. Jeran spent his earliest years living throughout the UK and in Germany and he has been involving himself in all things house and techno related for most of his life. Starting of in the mid to late nineties by reviewing records for a photocopied fanzine and selling his mix tapes in local clothes and record shops, he then went on to DJ at secret parties mainly in the woods and warehouses of the Midlands and Eastern England.
Describing his music output, Jaren said:
It's more about sound and vibrations rather than images and personalities. My sound is obviously based a lot on the original house and techno records from the 80s and 90s, but I try and add a new twist and put my own stamp on it somehow. For inspiration I get a lot of that from listening to jazz, jazz-funk records, weird experimental music, ideas from philosophy and sci-fi films and things like that. If there's something I like I try to copy the moods rather than the styles. I try and make my music capture the feeling of a certain time and place. So when people are listening to my music I hope that what I was feeling and was influenced by when I was making it comes through. I like to keep things simple a fairly raw, too much gloss kills the soul.
