Slated for future release are original and remixed tracks from G-Ron, Craft, Duckhunter and others. Look for these dance floor goodies today!
JR001 SAM JASPERSOHN When You’re Gone
Clocking in with a submarine-like foray into the deeper chambers of tech-house, Sam Jaspersohn’s ‘When You’re Gone’
EP signals a strong future for both the Jyre Records head honcho and the newly launched Brooklyn label.
With subtle hints of eastern instrumental samples bubbling up to the surface, Jaspersohn’s title effort finds its
groove bouncing between a driving bass-line and crystal-clear hats. A ghostly strip of a vocal sample winds its
way around the track, providing a soulful-yin to the synth’s-yang, building momentum and eventually scattering
itself into oblivion when it finds its apex.
Stunning layers of depth, perfect for a mid-to-peak
set transition.
On the flip side, the Israeli born, New York-based Boaz offers up a techier, concentrated interpretation of the title track. Absolute intensity as Boaz’ effort breaks its way down into itself, only to explode into the primary vocal sample. The multiple build-ups and almost staccato-like highs sound like a more floor-friendly version of the earlier Tresor releases (especially Stewart Walker’s work). With its crushing peak, Boaz’ track stands ready to destroy both tech-friendly and minimal floors throughout the world.

SAM JASPERSOHN
As label owner, DJ and visual artist at Jyre Records, Sam Jaspersohn seeks to create, inspire and visualize
through music.
Growing up in the Green Mountains of Northern Vermont, Jaspersohn fell in love with electronic music and bands
such as Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack. Later, he was introduced to artists including
Sasha, John Digweed, and Damian Lazarus. He began recording his own house and techno music at age fifteen, and
discovered his gift for creating fresh sounds and beat patterns—a talent that has shaped his signature style.
Jaspersohn has a restless, imaginative mind—and he channels that vivid chaos and bright turmoil into his creative
endeavors. The result is Jyre Records: founded on the principle that music and visual arts are spiritually
connected, mutually inspiring, and not to be separated. Expect an evolving sound that embraces warmth and darkness
from Jyre Records and its artists.
A resident of New York City for 7 years, Jaspersohn was most recently guest DJ for NYC’s Momentum and Rite of
Wednesday’s parties. He also was a recent guest on Electronic Rhythm’s weekly live video podcast.
Jaspersohn studied drawing at Regent’s College in London and graduated with a degree in painting from Skidmore
College in Saratoga Springs, New York.
BOAZ
Growing up in Israel, a country with its own rich music identity, Boaz discovered his passion for music at a very
young age playing the drums, guitar and piano. In 2001 Boaz moved to New York to study film at The School of Visual
Arts, where he was first introduced to the world of digital recordings and electronic music. At the behest of
Jyre’s co-founder he began producing out of his home studio in 2007. Boaz has since created a style that marries
warm melodic sounds with the tougher textures of techno to create a fresh take on the genre: one that encompasses
warmth and emotional expression. Both a producer and DJ, he performs his sets with intensity and charisma.
Boaz is set to release his first EP on Brooklyn’s Jyre Records in 2012.
Boaz’s October Mix on Mixcloud gives you a taste of what to expect from an evening with Jyre Records.
