Live electronic band in san francisco

About Me

jump/cut covers a lot of sonic territory built on the electronica aesthetic while moving their vibe towards organic sound creation with vibrant effects and eclectic samples. their "organic electronica" melds a continuum spanning styles from drum n' bass, downtempo, breakbeat, ambient, dub, trip-hop and even modern jazz compositional ideas. the goal is to ignite live elements of electronica music that are usually lost in a robotic technical execution by creating interactive melodic atmospheres, deep oscillating bass lines and pulsating backbeat drums.jump/cut synthesizes a bent sonic mayhem from the rapid-fire polyrhythms of drum n' bass, shapeshifting textures of ambient soundscapes, and hypnotic trip-hop groove impulses. using "live" drums, bass, guitar synth, vibraphone & dj they create a neo-electronica full sensory alternative for dance floor victims that flows naturally and unobtrusively into all corners of the room.buy the Jump/Cut album "The Alias Men" here http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jumpcut

Sounds Like: jumpcut live at the elbo roomJUMP/CUT ||| The Alias Men ||| CD [Jump/Cut] When the "Jump/Cut: The Alias Men" album showed up in the beloved pile of beta lounge mail I was immediatley attracted to the cover art. A bar-coded René Magritte style man with no face immersed in liquid sound waves. What looks like an illustration of modern man's deliverance sure delivers on the sound level. I keep asking myself what it reminds me of, but I can only come up with artists that I wish would sound more like jump/cut. With an easy hand they take the dampness out of Tortoise, screw a brain into LTJ Bukem and come down on Roni Size with a soft backrub that DJ Krust was so long overdue for. Go to jumpcut.net and read their mission statement. It's right on. -370CDBABY LINK for JUMP/CUT : The Alias Men --
