Electronic Music Scenes — Sound Of Fractures

Jamie Reddington is an electronic music producer, consultant and lecturer from London who recently released his debut album Scenes.

His music is shaped by hiphop, UK dance music and soul. Leaning into telling stories, with textures and samples captured from his phone, featuring the sound of his daughter’s heartbeat.

The record was released as a co-creation. ‘Over 350 memories were submitted and turned into Scenes, capturing a moment in time. People stopped, took time out of their lives and engaged in a process that connected music and emotions.'

We talk about the past, present and future of music on the internet. What's most interesting for artists right now?
