about

During a band dinner in San Francisco in the summer of 2019, Imogen Heap mentioned to her guitarist Stevie J Jones that she was involved with this “new music app called Endlesss” and it might be something he would like. She wasn’t wrong. He didn’t sleep for days, drawn deep into what the community jokingly refer to as the “Essshole”, jamming on Endlesss every day for hours with people all over the world.

Over the coming weeks Stevie befriended other musicians in the Endlesss community, being naturally drawn to those whose feel and sound he liked the most. Three of those people were Red Sky Lullaby (living in upstate New York), Badrico (Vancouver island) and Bounce (San Francisco). The four of them would regularly be seen in the late-night jams, trading beats, basslines and insane remix ideas.

When Tim Exile, founder and CEO of Endlesss, put on an event where jammers could take over the live stream on the Endlesss Twitch channel for an hour, Stevie J contacted these three to form the crew that became The Veltrons.

In the lead up to the live performance, they began a week-long practice jam to try out ideas. So much intriguing music was generated in those sessions that it seemed a shame to waste it. Stevie J suggested everyone could take their favourite parts and create a remix, and the idea for the record was born.

Red Sky Lullaby, Badrico and Stevie J all created their own takes on what had happened during the week, creating a fascinating suite of electronic “variations on a theme” - generated from the same material but with dramatically different approaches: Red Sky Lullaby’s crisp beats punch out as hard as anything. Badrico’s trippy venture into the furthest reaches of space contrasts beautifully with the smooth ambient depth of Stevie J’s mixes.

Tim Exile heard about the idea, and loved it so much that he stepped in to help bring it to fruition by getting Cherif Hashizume (David Byrne, Jon Hopkins, King Creosote) to master the mixes. This brought the final layer of polish needed to get this “accidental album” completed.

The musicians involved still convene regularly on Endlesss. Having recently recruited a new member – the phenomenal force that is Theau (living in Caen, France) – The Veltrons are gearing up to start work on the next record.
