I had the pleasure of seeing Jack Beats alongside Knife Party in NYC a couple months back, and the Brits’ signature wobble and engaging yet subdued sound had me completely entranced. This “Evolution Mixtape” consists of similar material, lending eager listeners a preview of “Careless”, a mini-album set for release on Beatport August 7th. This set is riddled with enough fidget and glitch to have me thinking that these guys are helping redefine house music, extending outside the confines of the genre and welcoming a whole lot of weird.
