Sweet Apocalyse could have been the name of this new opus by the Israeli producer Jack Carel. With Turn It Up, Jack Carel decides to punch the current crisis mood in the face. With its very deep and loud ambient sounds, the new EP of this very mysterious producer is a love declaration to the act of faith, patience, hope, and the anticipation of a coming revolution.
Turn It Up is the musical proof that strength can and must be found in darkness. To be stronger, one must fall; to find, one must lose; to rebuild, one must deconstruct.
Rougher and more disconcerting than what Jack Carel used to produce, Turn It Up is the flag of a new era, a new vision, after 20 years producing music. “I'm always trying to make the next track different,” he explains. “This EP is me trying to bring a trippy, groovy, rough, and raw journey to this perspective with heavy drums and psychedelic energy.”
Born in 1980, Jackov Carel aka Jack Carel, grew up in Tel Aviv, during the electronic revolution of the mid-90s. Heavily influenced by bands like The Chemical Brothers and techno artists such as Jeff Mills, Sven Vath or Dave Clarke, he started creating his own unique music, sounds and rhythms in 2002. Architect by profession and influenced by movies, he makes music that has no compromises, combining techno, dark breaks, electronica, psychedelia, and with his new EP, Turn It Up, rock, trip hop, industrial and EBM energy.
When asking Jack Carel his state of mind regarding this last 2020 year, he talks about fear and hope for better days. Which is how he starts his opus, with the eponymous track Turn It Up.
Being one of his favorite platforms, Carel naturally chose the Lithuanian record label whypeopledance to release his new EP. Created in 2012, WhyPeopleDance is a non-profit music platform for creators, which aims to promote quality dance and anti-dance music. The team released 5 albums with their internet record label called Materia. Turn It Up is their first official digital release, launch of the label under the name of whypeopledance.
