Sam Jaspersohn : Music

Sam Jaspersohn grew up surrounded by nature in a rural town in the Green Mountains of Vermont. In these surroundings he was able to explore the woods, practice en pleine air painting and, oddly enough, learn computer music composition. His early influences included Boards of Canada, Massive Attack, Sasha & Digweed, and 90’s trip hop. With these sounds in his head, he began recording his own house and techno music at age fifteen, and discovered his gift for creating unique sounds and aural landscapes—a talent that shaped his signature style.

Jaspersohn’s productions and remixes are subtle, emotional, melancholic, and euphoric. They have captured the attention of a number of solid labels. In 2016, Jaspersohn's track 'Islands' is featured on John Digweed's Bedrock 18 - Signals (3xCD) compilation on Bedrock Records. His first vinyl release can be heard via Berlin label Resopal Schallware. The release features a collaboration with Saqib and remix by Talal aka Lost Boy. He had other releases in 2016 on Intimate Project Music, Plus Plus and Decay Records (UK).

Discontent with just creating music, Jaspersohn started his own imprint in 2012. The result was Jyre Records: founded on the principle that music and visual arts are spiritually connected, mutually inspiring, and not to be separated. Expect an evolving sound that embraces warmth and darkness from Jyre Records and its growing list of international artists.

A resident of Brooklyn, NY, Jaspersohn has recently opened for Frank & Tony at Coda (Toronto) as well as SHADED and Reelow during WMC 2015 in Miami. In recent years he has performed for Renegade Empire presents Darin Epsilon at Treehouse Miami, and Momentum featuring Pan-Pot. He is also a regular fixture at NYC’s Momentum and Rite of Wednesday’s parties at TBA Brooklyn. He has played additional dates for SENSELESS Festival, Bushwick AV, Verboten, Aphotic, Louie and Chan, The DL, Clubber’s Guide New York, Massive Groove, Bar 13, Karma Lounge, and Global Mixx Radio.

2017 is set to be a big year for Jaspersohn - He has releases and remixes lined up for labels ranging from Mexico to San Francisco to Spain.
