Initially associated with Chicago&#8217;s footwork scene, her music has evolved into a new dimension, exploring unheard rhythms and placing her in a category of her own. Her debut album <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/2y4s6uus1HkD6y3b8yRBoy\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Energy<\/a><\/em>, released in 2015 via <a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/tag\/planet-mu\/\">Planet Mu<\/a>, was filled with twisted, volatile tracks that expressed deep frustration and anger. The artist has continued this trend with two other albums, and is now preparing a new EP, <em>Embryo. <\/em>&#8220;<em>I was just writing trying to get out of my own head. I wrote all these pieces in between commissions and trying to stay afloat mentally<\/em>,&#8221; she comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=313135517\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jlin.bandcamp.com\/album\/embryo\">Embryo by Jlin<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The title track &#8220;Embryo,&#8221; already available, features a bold and fiery sound palette recalling the futurism of nineties Detroit techno and British IDM without succumbing to their cliches. The bumping &#8220;Auto Pilot&#8221; takes her mutant techno stance even further, while &#8220;Connect The Dots&#8221; is one of the standouts from her recent live sets. She singles out the final track &#8220;Rabbit Hole&#8221; as a highlight for her &#8211; describing it as &#8220;<em>a track I truly enjoyed making. It made me feel nostalgia yet connected me to my own evolution<\/em>.&#8221; The piece is particularly laidback, with the kind of rhythmic complexity only Jlin can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/jlin.bandcamp.com\/album\/embryo\" target=\"_blank\">Embryo<\/a> <\/em>by Jlin, out on December 10 via Planet Mu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to &#8220;Embryo&#8221; in our afro + club playlist on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/38btMIbD4lYEsPbMrN9Bjz?si=FbbbIxauTjWsf3HwGUiFVQ\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/fr\/playlist\/3244743002\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/jlin-embryo-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-90317\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American artist has announced a project filled with IDM, footwork and techno influences.
