Brooklynzhen releases debut single

Glasgow-based artist Allan McCafferty, now working under the artistic banner of Brooklynzhen, is an exciting new name in the underground electronic scene. With a background in death metal and a deep understanding of drum machines, he brings a unique perspective to the world of alternative house and techno music.

Drawing from the sounds of Sub Club DJs, Daft Punk’s Homework and the French underground house movement, Brooklynzhen crafts music that stands at the crossroads of grit and euphoria. His artistic mission is to forge underground house music as a refuge for happiness, a space where people can come together, lose themselves, and find something meaningful in the moment.

Now unveiling the first release under the Brooklynzhen moniker, he delivers his debut single with the track titled “33rd Degree Jason.” With an approach that bridges underground electronic textures and traditional song structures, the track is designed to be both immersive, accessible and engaging for both deep house purists and fans from wider counter-cultures.

Crafted using a refurbished Roland SH101 and a MacBook Pro, “33rd Degree Jason” attests to the power of simplicity in electronic music production. The analogue warmth of the vintage synth cuts through a crisp, modern mix, balancing hypnotic beats with an ever-present sense of ominous atmosphere and movement. This blend of old-school gear and slick sound design techniques results in a track that feels like it could exist in any era of house music; timeless, yet forward-thinking.

Kicked off by the punch of kick and swell of dark synth tones, the track sets an instant groove of mesmeric rhythm and enveloping electronic textures. Developing with pattering percussive elements and zapping synth shots, “33rd Degree Jason” presents a fully invigorating and entirely gripping slice of electronic music.

Building with the intensity of layered synths, from the deep rumble of bass to the lively flutter of top end, the track lays down a superb showcase of Brooklynzhen’s creativity and production flair. Having made an emphatic debut with an epic first outing, we can’t wait to see what comes next from this exciting new act in the underground electronic music sphere.
