about
In today’s music world every man and their dog is embracing eclecticism. Yet can anyone name a DJ capable of playing both grime rave Dirty Canvas and hipster disco Bugged Out! in one weekend? Or a producer as adept in the studio with tech house heavyweight Brodinski as indie-singer Esser, and grime MC Jammer? Step forward Mumdance, or Jack Adams, a 26-year-old producer and DJ from Brighton, whose trademark raw, riotous rhythms – drawn from Grime, UK funky, Brazilian baile funk, Caribbean calypso, American Baltimore Gutter, Afro-beat, High life, and Latin ghetto music such as tribal guarachero - have been electrifying dancefloors worldwide over the last couple of years, providing him with a hectic DJ schedule which criss-crosses the globe from Australia, Mexico, North America, Europe & all over the UK. It all began with Jack’s bootleg of Diplo’s remix of Black Lips in early 2008, which was championed by tastemakers including Diplo, Annie Mac, Sinden and Switch. Diplo - key in breaking MIA, Santigold and Spank Rock - took Jack under his wing and asked him to remix Santigold’s Creator for smash mixtape 'Top Ranking' Diplo’s Mad Decent label (Rusko, Bondo Do Role, Blaq Starr, Buraka Som Sistema, Major Lazer) is also putting out the Mumdance EP in autumn. To date Jack has offered us tantalizing glimpses of his stylistically sprawling output: he’s gathered 13 high profile official remixes - including indie-electro band The Whip, ATL gangster rapper Gucci Mane, Afro-popsters
