JIMMY EDGAR x CLUMSY

Jimmy Edgar returns with “CLUMSY,” a glitch-hop collision of warped electronics, fractured rhythms, and off-kilter energy, featuring the unmistakable presence of Ripparachie. Built around twitchy production and a deliberately unpredictable groove, the track finds Edgar pushing hip-hop’s rhythmic vocabulary into stranger, more futuristic territory. Ripparachie’s vocals add another layer of personality to the track, matching its playful instability and giving “CLUMSY” a distinctly chaotic charm. It’s a sharp, weird, and infectious new cut from one of electronic music’s most consistently adventurous producers.

JIMMY EDGAR x SWALLOW

Jimmy Edgar, the Detroit raised producer, artist, and architect of futuristic club music, returns with “SWALLOW,” a pristine R&B transmission. Equal parts seduction and propulsion, “SWALLOW” distills Jimmy’s obsession with sensuality, technology, and rhythm into a late night anthem built for intimate spaces and peak hour dancefloors alike.

Where much of Jimmy’s catalog explores the intersection of avant garde electronics and conceptual art, “SWALLOW” narrows its focus to pure physicality. Liquid chrome vocals glide across glittering, precision tooled percussion while basslines move underneath like something amphibious, slick and submerged, surfacing only to pull you back down. Every metallic surface is polished to a mirror shine, every texture placed with the kind of care you feel before you can name it. The result is hypnotic future R&B that sounds luxurious, restless, and unmistakably built for the club.

For over a decade, Jimmy has occupied a singular position in contemporary music, moving fluidly between underground electronic culture, experimental pop, rap, and visual art. His collaborators range from Lady Gaga and SOPHIE to Hudson Mohawke and Vince Staples, while his own releases continually rewire conventional ideas of genre, presentation, and authorship. Across music, design, and technology, Jimmy has built an aesthetic language that is instantly recognizable: sleek, erotic, iridescent, perpetually evolving.

“SWALLOW” continues that trajectory while embracing his most direct impulse, the transformative power of rhythm and desire. The track functions as both a club record and an emotional environment, channeling the tension between human intimacy and synthetic beauty that has always defined his work.

SWALLOW” marks the latest chapter in Jimmy’s pursuit of new forms, new sensations, and new realities, where the dancefloor becomes a site of connection, fantasy, and escape.

JIMMY EDGAR x LIQUIDS HEAVEN

Jimmy Edgar has just shared his new album LIQUIDS HEAVEN. On a surface level, it is a starburst of avant-garde fusion, collecting a diverse cast of eccentric geniuses and re-configuring them into a psychedelic canvas of future R&B, euphoric bass, mutant tear-the-club-up rap, foundation-splintering noise, and gossamer soul. But as with all his work, there is a deeper and subversive intent.

LIQUIDS HEAVEN’s early gestation spawned from Edgar’s explorations of “material” in the digital world, and is part of his broader ambition to change belief and intention in the digital realm – a pseudo-invisible way to summon novel realities by infusing his ultra-sleek aesthetic into transformative conceptual art. LIQUIDS HEAVEN is the ultimate culmination of the idea of “phases of matter.”

LIQUIDS HEAVEN is not merely a technicolor dream of ethereal abstractions, however. It bangs as hard as anything to ever bump from a subwoofer. But for all the high energy propulsion, there is a counter-balance of melancholic beauty, and in a career of fascinating left-turns, it would be more surprising if LIQUIDS HEAVEN wasn’t surprising. The genius of it is that for all its cerebral intent, it remains replete with raw and visceral emotion. Out of sadness comes courage. Water, liquid, and light evaporate, become transparent, disappear peacefully. Nothing less than the sound and look of liquid are transmuted into powerful new sculptures – which are best experienced at a high volume on the far side of the sky.

Signed to Warp Records as a teenage electronic music prodigy, Edgar has recorded for the world’s most respected imprints (Warp, K7, Hotflush and his own New Reality Now). Raised in Detroit, with stints in Berlin, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York, his list of close collaborators includes Hudson Mohawke, Danny Brown, SOPHIE, DAWN, Mykki Blanco, Vince Staples, and Machinedrum (as one half of their duo J-E-T-S).

JIMMY EDGAR x EUPHORIA

Jimmy Edgar, the Detroit-raised electronic/hip hop producer whose collaborators range from Hudson Mohawke to DAWN to Vince Staples and beyond, has just shared “EUPHORIA,” a swirling stab of experimental electronic pop from his forthcoming LIQUIDS HEAVEN album (out via Innovative Leisure on November 11). “EUPHORIA” features vocals from LIZ, the underground pop princess whose trademark mix of future-kitsch and ’90s/00s R&B has rendered her the proclaimed “First Lady of Mad Decent.”

LIQUIDS HEAVEN is a psychedelic canvas of future R&B, euphoric bass, mutant tear-the-club-up rap, foundation-splintering noise, and gossamer soul, as previously previewed via a double drop of singles “SLIP N SLIDE” and “STATIC (FT BANSHEE).” The album is a starburst of avant-garde fusion, collecting a diverse cast of eccentric geniuses and re-configuring them into an anthology of nü musique concrete. But as with all his work, there is a deeper and subversive intent: LIQUIDS HEAVEN’s gestation spawned from Edgar’s explorations of “material” in the digital world, and is part of his broader ambition to change belief and intention in the digital realm – a pseudo-invisible way to summon novel realities by infusing his ultra-sleek aesthetic into transformative conceptual art. But just as importantly it bangs as hard as anything to ever bump from a subwoofer.
