Just Geo drops brand new album ‘TNTHY’

Coming out of south London, Just Geo is an electronic music producer and DJ who also runs the Down The Road imprint. With a mission to get people dancing, his musical output is a slick beat-driven experience that draws on grooving rhythm, vibrant synths and catchy vocals.

Unveiling his original sonic vision back in 2016, he dropped his debut record Sustain & Release, he’s since delivered an incredible catalogue of music across multiple singles, EPs and full-length records, including the expansive fifty-nine track release, Grime Instrumentals: Now Until Then. Over the years, he’s confirmed his status as a prolific artist in the UK music scene and beyond.

Now he brings us his latest release with the new album titled TNTHY (Try Not to Hurt Yourself), a genre-blurring masterpiece that explores the intersection of garage, house, grime and techno, bringing together a diverse array of influences into an innovative fifteen-track experience. Featuring a range of collaborators, Just Geo has linked up with a talented group of vocalists, each their own unique sonic flair to the tracks and bringing the instrumental-driven sound that dominated his earlier works to life.

Kicked off by “Tell Your Lies,” the bubble of hushed synth tones and airy echoes of featured artist Carolina White’s voice are met with the snap of a garage style beat as the track comes into sharp focus with laid back vocal leads floating over the dance-focused sound. With a slick synth arrangement and crisp percussion capped by silky vocals spinning catchy melodic lines, it’s an instantly memorable jam that sets the cutting-edge tone of the record.

On “Close 2 Be,” pulsing synths and kick combine with smooth vocals as the energy swells into a grooving jam that’s emotive and danceable in equal measure. “Yeah I Figured” serves up a bold club sound with lively synth stabs and spacey vocals, slipping into a deep cut of bouncing bass textures and rattling drums, resulting in a truly enthralling sound.

Other stand out moments on the album come with tracks like “Always Gonna Be,” featuring the talents of previous collaborator Flirta D who links with Just Geo to deliver a thrilling grime anthem brimming with intense synth tones and driving beats. With Flirta D’s razor-sharp flow and commanding delivery gliding over Just Geo’s superb instrumental, the pair lay down a gripping sound.

The final track, “Sweat it Out” offers one last moment of pulsating bass synths, intricate dashes of bright tones and chopped vocal samples which flutter throughout. It’s a stellar example of Just Geo’s instrumental talent and production panache to craft an exciting finale to his incredible new album.

Commenting on the release, he offers, “I’ve been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit, I started making a name for myself producing pretty selfishly but I’ve always wanted to do more with vocalists and artists in general.”

Adding, “Like the majority of my stuff, the entirety of the production is all me in my studio so it’s a massive amalgamation of things I’ve wanted to experiment with or things people might not even know I could make but each track on this project is a song that tells it’s own story. It’s something I haven’t been able to do before… lucky to work with some great people on this so can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
