Stepping into the shadows of Torture the Artist’s art:cast series, J6 delivers a hauntingly immersive mix for its 179th installment. A well-established force in the electronic music scene, the Manchester-based artist—Jake Scott, J6’s real name—crafts a sonic experience that is spooky, mysterious, and wonky, reflecting the unique essence of his sound.
Blending shades of 2000s Minimal Techno and Electro, J6 conjures an eerie yet groove-infused atmosphere, threading together hypnotic rhythms, ghostly textures, and glitchy sonics that keep listeners on edge. The mix features a handful of unreleased gems, giving a taste of his ever-evolving catalog.
With past releases on labels like Crossbreeds, You&me, and Kuusou, J6 has consistently delivered forward-thinking club cuts, gaining support from heavyweights like Cristi Cons, Josh Baker, Voigtmann, Anthea, and B.Ai. His newest release, “I Like It”, finds a home on Jooice’s VA EP, standing alongside contributions from Aline Umber & Krol, Christian Sarde, and Otis.
With art:cast °179, J6 invites you into a shadowy labyrinth of sound—a mix that doesn’t just demand your attention, but lures you deeper into its cryptic musical world.
