The mix covers a few different shades of house/techno that I’m into. The basic idea of it was to start off quite deep and gradually ramp up to some more punishing stuff, with the focus mostly on music made/released within the last few years – J.Tijn

2013 has seen J.Tijn release x2 EPs on Untold’s Pennyroyal Label and also on West Norwood Cassette Library. November will see J.Tijn release on Convex Industries as part of a compilation alongside Jimmy Edgar, Wraetlic and Sei A

J. Tijn – Jack 2 [Penneyroyal] – Released April 2013

The 1st Release on Untold’s new Pennyroyal label is a searing dose of fresh techno from the hotly tipped, London-based producer, J Tijn. Already marked up by the likes of Happa and Jon Convex as one to watch, he takes the skin off it with an alarming A-side bruiser fulla ruthless kicks and screaming sirens, whilst the B-side flexes out on staggered kick drums, spectral noise and rusted gear-clanking rhythms. Girder-strength business for fans of Blawan and Pariah, Surgeon, Happa, all that! (Source: Boomkat)

J.Tijn – Squirtle Squad [pennyroyal] – Released April 2013

High-intensity techno workouts from J. Tijn on Untold’s Pennyroyal label. Following the course of his ‘Jack 2’ 12″ he leaves no prisoners with an aggressive A-side pounding backed by one kinkier swinger and a brutal, Belgian-sounding stomper. (Source: Boomkat)

J.Tijn – Flat EP [WNCL Recordings] – Released Sept 2013

J. Tijn dices with more diverse rhythms following two stomping sessions for Penny Royal. Up top, ‘Flat’ deals in rugged house drums, fruity disco bass and laidback chords before a surging bass synth gives a cool boost in the 2nd half, and ‘Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub’ rolls with a sub-loaded, shaking techno momentum. Flipside his ‘U U U’ tool picks up steam with jagged dub chords and tuff, brittle jack beside the Mike Dehnert-styled off kilter gruffness of ‘Decimated #4’. (Source: Boomkat)
