Jensen Sportag

So up until today, all of us were convinced that electro was one of the most diverse scenes in the music industry. We’re always hearing about the ties between the Los Angeles grime and the Paris verb-house and the German techno, and as such, we lean toward assuming that we’re part of a worldwide phenomenon, however, thinking deeper into the issue, when have we ever heard of a major artist coming from anywhere in between? It’s almost always some sort of major city in either western United States, or Europe, and the sheer magnitude of the distances between these cities allows us to forget that we’re missing out on everything in the middle. Ask yourself: What might an electronic artist from Nashville, Tennessee sound like?

Interesting prospect, hmm?

Now I realize that your mind is probably swimming with ideas at this point. Would there be a country influence in there? Or perhaps a more bluesy rock style? Or maybe I’m just being stereotypical? Fortunately for you, I’ve got the solution to this little quiz right here, and now matter what you were thinking, you were wrong.

They’re called Jensen Sportag, and they sound like (and I quote) “Prince, Aphex Twin, and Wesley Willis all wantin ya, sayin ‘Baby I’m yours…’ and such.” I’d personally even go so far as to say they couldn’t deny a bit of a Michael Jackson influence on top of all that. Regardless, this is a sound quite close to, and yet extremely far from most everything you’ve become accustomed to in recent years, and you are thus, dangerously prone to finding yourself hopelessly, hopelessly infatuated. Chimooann-aaahhh!
