Album US 2019 on Schematic label
Dance (Techno, IDM, Ambient, Dub)
After helping to unleash the laptop music scene upon suburban Minnesota in the late 1990's with custom written live performance software, Jake Mandell went on to produce several highly regarded releases on Carpark records and the defunct but legendary Worm Interface and Force Inc. imprints. His early music combined elements from techno, IDM, and drum and bass into dense collages held together by eccentric melodic fragments interwoven with forward-thinking sound design. He moved to Berlin and worked as Product Manager for the Reaktor software synthesizer from 2000-2003 at Native Instruments headquarters, and also played live shows throughout Europe. And then, he disappeared into the world of medicine. Now, after more than 15 years of radio silence, we are excited to release an all new album of fresh material. Currently based in Boston where he is a practicing physician, Mandell's new material fuses 20 years of electronic music history into a series of techno influenced dynamic compositions that manage to balance technical intricacy with neck snapping grooves and surprisingly emotional moments.
