JACK GRACE
Combining the fluid, reconstructed beats of late-era British bass music with lush/dense harmonies, it’s been hard to miss Jack Grace’s singular production style vibrating through the Australian underground over the past 18 months. Filtered through a prism of forward-thinking artists as well as his own releases, Grace’s surreal blend of hazy VHS soul and footwork beats first attracted attention with 2016’s River, with his last single, ‘All Lost’ championed by peers and tastemakers Flume, Nick Murphy and Kllo. It’s certainly not the first time Australia’s heard from the Newcastle-born musician, whose deft touch extended across multiple releases. As a producer, arranger and music director, Grace’s unique magic could be found underpinning new material from Ngairre (‘Blastoma’), BUOY (‘Immersion + Break eps’) and alongside fellow aural adventurer, Christopher Port.
