Building on his reputation for eclecticism and reinvention, Jack Adams, better known as Mumdance, is back with his new LP – Twists and Turns. Since being discovered by Diplo in 2008 via his bootleg remix of the Black Lips’ Veni Vedi Vici , Jack has proven adept at keeping ahead of the music curve. His first EP on Mad Decent, the Mum Decent EP, led to two world tours which exposed Jack’s mind to all sorts of regional music from around the globe, which in turn led to the fusing of his UK club sensibilities with more global sounds such as kuduro, funk carioca, tribal gurachero, soca, batucada carnival music and gagaku. With these influences firmly in place, Jack pursued an even more varied working style, concentrating on a string of collaborations. A fruitful period of travelling and producing culminated in his first mixtape album: Different Circles. The new record,Twists & Turns, looks to very different sources from those that created the first LP – strong outside influences have been replaced with esoteric introspection – the new record drawing on everything from 90s hardcore and proto-jungle to shoegaze classics. With this new sound comes a new set of record labels, with Jack releasing music on Hyperdub, Tectonic, Keysound & Unknown to the Unknown.
