It’s difficult not to speak in hyperbole about Jlin. Whether it’s releasing some of the loudest, fastest, most powerful music ever committed to WAV, or collaborating with Björk, Philip Glass, Holly Herndon, and the late SOPHIE, she turns everything she touches into gold. A former steel factory worker, she got her start in the footwork scene under the mentorship of RP Boo and DJ Rashad, but quickly transcended the genre’s conventions. Straddling the avant-garde, pop, and club with ease, Jlin is in a league entirely her own. Her 2024 album 'Akoma' is a testament to her mathematic precision, twisting intricate rhythms and classical elements into a boundless, mind-scrambling masterpiece. To sum it up—what a downright boss.
