About Me

"Repping Brooklyn by way of Philadelphia and SF, budding producer Jethro fuses musical elements that play off each other like kind bud and cheesesteaks. Teaming dust-encrusted samples with future-freak beat breakdowns, his tunes pack more thump than a Wac-A-Mole tournament. Watch out now." Brolin Winning (Elemental Magazine, XLR8R Magazine)

"Beat conductor Jethro builds sonic temples with the same skill and precision a master mason would use while constructing a palatial pyramid. Electro-infused drums kick along while organic instruments flirt with subtle electrodes of ambience. The end result is a finely crafted audio estate." DJ Raw B, (CNET’s Download.com Music, KUSF Beatsauce)

"Jethro's hip-hop blends an Aquaboogie funk fluidity with schools of colorful melodic fish. The drums are as sharp as coral, and expect a mermaid-crooner and a shark-toothed rapper to make your dive in to his sounds more interesting. Overall, Jethro's music falls between DJ Krush's introspective grit, and Mr. Scruff's light-hearted bump." Tomas Palermo, Managing Editor, XLR8R Magazine

Combining hip-hop, dub and electronic influences with a love for the analog electronics of the '70s, Jethro’s music comes across like Herbie Hancock on a planetary tour. Jethro handles beat production and performs the instruments on Spacecraft Convention, including guitar, keys, bass and sarod.
