MUTE by Jan Blomqvist

Able to provoke thought like no other, Jan Blomqvist drops his third artist album, ‘MUTE’, to touch on the need for reflection on the bad place the world is headed to. Spearheaded by tracks such as ‘Underwater’, ‘Destination Lost’, ‘Muted Mind’ and ‘Midnight Sun’, each creation channeling the signature Blomqvist style, the album calls out against the new reality where the loudest screamer always wins and lies gain traction more so than honest hearts.

Yet, beyond highlighting what’s wrong, ‘MUTE’ also brings hope by word and sonics, moving from sadness and fear to happiness and finding yourself again amidst the madness of disconnection. And so this album is more than a critical note aimed at today’s society. It harbors the realization of change needing to happen, and the unfaltering belief that it’s never too late to reflect. It’s important to listen to understand, not to echo. ‘MUTE’.

Jan was inspired by electronic instruments and sound. He reformed his band, began making a machine-like sound and bring a rock’n’roll stage presence to the clubs. Key gigs at Fusion Festival and a debut EP got him into the center of the game of deep house music. Burning Man 2016 and the legendary Zero Parties in NY set a mature example of the second wave of the electronic music movement.
