New Jackson is the lauded sonic poet of nocturnal romance, an artist
who’s evocative machine soul has enjoyed a celebrated career both on and
off the dancefloor. The impending release of his second album OOPS… POP!
for Permanent Vacation now rewrites his own inimitable playbook from his
current abode on Ireland’s south west coast to further affirm his status
as one of electronic music’s modern visionaries.
Since his production debut under the alias back in 2011, he has released some of his most beautiful music. It’s an anything-goes electronic sound driven by an
“MPC-mindset”; a hardware-obsessed vision of rhythm further clarified by
his unrivalled songwriter’s nous, impassioned love of ecstatic dance
music and adventurous experimentation in the studio. The project’s
origins date back to his time as part of Dublin's 'Thomas The Skank
Engine' crew (behind the now-legendary Dub Trax parties), a key focal
point of inspiration that anchors New Jackson with an underground mentality no
matter where his music’s popped up since.
This all, of course, in tandem with his beloved live show; a spectacle
in performance and sound that featured around the globe at places like
Berlin’s Panorama Bar, Frankfurt’s Robert Johnson, NYC’s Output,
Amsterdam’s Sugar Factory and Ibiza’s Pacha Destino as part of Solomun's
‘Plus Live’ series. Then there’s the small matter of his near three
decade-long DJ career; a passion of sprawling selections that expose his
vast digger’s knowledge and defiance of genre frigidity that speaks to
his versatility within the craft; as comfortable rocking festival main
stages as he is spinning rockabilly 7’s in a dimly lit pub.
‘OOPs… POP!’ then is the highly anticipated sequel album, a refreshing
new twist in the New Jackson oeuvre. Released with long-time
collaborators Permanent Vacation, it is a concise triumph in techno-pop
recorded across the span of five years and three different countries.
Dont miss 'New Jackson' at this July 11th live at The lighthouse Dun Laoghaire as part of Dun Laoghaire Summerfest 2025 + support from very special guest 'THE DRIFTER'
