This linear downshift in tempo is a product of the American Midwest by way of Jeremy Jacobs, an Indiana native and adventurer searching for secrets in the spaces within the beat. JPLS's analog attitude is stripped down amongst the ever-growing digital landscape of expanding sound fields. Recording as JPLS with recent net releases on Clever and Redevice, he made his first Minus appearance on 2006's min2MAX compilation. The sound falls into a range of dub-punched techno while under the minimal aesthetic from the top down. "Program 1" sets precedent for bass and distortion, "Program 3" bumps and pans around unpadded walls, and "Program 2," is a ten-minute throb that echoes with dulled-snares, muted hi-hats and tone pulses.
