One of a mirth of producers and DJs coming out of Detroit, Jimmy Edgar is another in a long line of beatmakers who blends elements of jazz, Chicago House, and electronic music of all kinds into one gigantic loop of rave music you just chill out and relax to. If you’re a fan of the Detroit scene, not only should you definitely pick this up, but what also makes Edgar all the more intriguing is the vibe to his music. It’s fairly monotonous, like a lot of DJ music of this sort, and might even conjure images and/or flashbakcs of nodding off on a couch in a club somewhere. Because sometimes you just need to do that. But it’s his vaguely relaxed, chilled-out vibe, that’s mixed with a sort of sporadic, static sort of noise — a white noise, hum and sampled bits of gangstas cursing. It’s this unique sort of multi-faceted influx of sounds which Edgar brings to the table which makes his music what it is. It must be doing something for him — he’s been on Warp Records for nearly a decade and shows no sign of letting up. He gets plus points for posing so suavely on the Red Bull Music Academy Radio home page with a mannequin (or is it a rendered mannequin) in the passenger seat.
