January: six artists you need to check out this month
We really recommend these lot
JeanGa & George
Given Greco-Roman’s record of signing future big guns like Disclosure, TEED and Roosevelt, it’s worth paying attention to JeanGa & George. The Hackney duo met bidding against each other for a Roland 707 and decided to pool resources and make sweet, melodic, pop-inflected house. Debut LP ‘European Repetitive Beats’ combines squelchy acid grooves with sugary vocals and reminds us of Cajmere, Todd Rundgren and cult 80s duo It’s Immaterial.
‘European Repetitive Beats’ is out on January 20
