Listen to a new FADER Mix by Jump Source

The longstanding FADER Mix series presents new, exclusive DJ mixes from our favorite artists, DJs, and producers. This week, we present a serene and stylized mix from Montreal-based electronic duo Jump Source (Priori and Patrick Holland).

Jump Source makes music that compels motion. The group comprising Priori and Patrick Holland releases its new album, FOLD, today, April 30, which merges dance floor craftsmanship with an eclectic and generous pop sensibility. On it, they tap a crew of the underground’s finest: billy woods, producers Deaton Chris Anthony, CFCF Loukeman, singer-songwriter Helena Deland, and more. Japanese trip-hop stalwart, POiSON GiRL FRiEND also makes an appearance. The entire project reflects the environment of their hometown Montreal, where outside frost thaws from the warmth of dance floors.

For their FADER Mix, Jump Source crafted a set that is softly serious, an hour-plus collection of tracks that feels spiritually tied to the cozy living room it was made in. Music from friends like james K meets global voices like German-Chilean minimal techno producer, Ricardo Villalobos. By the end, it'll have you feeling like the featured track: “I Understand Why You Want to Move to Montreal” by Tinkertoy.
