Listen: Zodiac – “PE1”

Canadian producer Zodiac dropped a new tune to coincide with the release of the first installment of Red Bull’s H∆SHTAG$ mini-documentary series that we shared last week, in which he also makes an appearance. “PE1” is a little bit different to what we have become accustomed to from the producer via his ep and work with the Weeknd, with its beat that sounds like it’s collapsing on itself and distorted moans vocal snippet you might call this one slightly more artsy.

In the first episode of a new Red Bull produced series called H∆SHTAG$ we are treated to a short film on the origins and makeup of the new R&B sound that’s emerged in the last several years.  The filmmakers gather some of “indie R&B’s” most well-known artists including Zodiac, Miguel, How To Dress Well, and get a little history on how the genre has grown over the years, and how it has used the Internet to differentiated itself from past forms of mainstream R&B. We also hear directly from the artists how they feel about terms like “PBR&B” and “hipster R&B.” The whole thing is about twelve minutes long and most certainly worth your time if you have any interest what so ever in the genre.
 

Listen: Zodiac - "Come"

Jeremy Rose aka  Zodiac is set to release a 5 track EP via Jacques Greene'sVase label digitally on September 24 on and vinyl October 8th. The sound is what you would expect from someone who was originally involved in the early beginnings of the Weekend’s sound and vibe. Jesse Boykins III provides the vocal work for “Come” which you can now stream below.
