Silentjay and Jace XL AU16

For those unfamiliar with the Hiatus Kaiyote vocalist (Jace XL) and producer (Silent Jay) — the duo’s collaboration is like witnessing Wolverine and Spider-Man team up for some grand adventure. Their unique strain of future-sounds, rooted in retro-R&B has endeared them to us and their native land, as they have created sincere and heartfelt songs such as “Sacrifice” and “Vibrate”.

Their mini-album, Sacrifice, has been a defining event since their EP manages to pack a high-level of quality artistry within a runtime of just under 30 minutes. It makes you wonder what these guys could do with 45 minutes or even an hour. Not shying away from the powerful influence of ’90s R&B beats and rhymes, Melbourne’s own SilentJay x Jace XL have impacted audiophiles with an unique brand of music that places itself in a category all its own. Blossoming from a very fertile scene in Australia, the “Just Wakin’ Up” tandem has opened up ears from hemisphere to hemisphere.

The Rhythm Section signees are not just for the lovers and the life-livers, they’re for those looking to inject some much-needed soul in their existence.
