Jacob 2-2 is a Brooklyn-based electronic artist whose work combines hip-hop beats, lush synth textures, and a healthy dose of warped childhood nostalgia. His latest release on Moodgadget, Fantasiarexia, is equally influenced by the crystalline new-age tones of 80s film soundtracks as it is by bass-heavy funk and jazz-fusion. Warm analog synths, broken 8-bits and Fairlight fragments are densely layered on top of 808 grooves and chopped up beats. His recent work already attracted the attention of artists such as Com Truise, who described it as "Perfect sound design with hints of vintage computing... visions of a video age slowly melting in the sky.”
