Every few years we get the epochal chillout record we deserve, and Jonny From Space’s debut album, i didn’t then but now i do, could very well be that record. With its alluring, heady blend of 90s electronica and downtempo, the album defies expectations, avoiding a sedentary or soporific style while embracing an unconventional yet undeniably chill essence. Landing on Anthony Naples and Jenny Slattery’s essential imprint, Incienso, the Miami native crafts a personalized listening experience that seamlessly bridges the past and present.

Emerging from the “Nu Miami” scene alongside luminaries like INVT, Danny Daze, Nick Leon, and Bitter Babe, Jonny From Space establishes himself as a visionary force, fearlessly delving into the trippier side of the genre through his solo productions and collaborations with Pablo Arrangoiz as Crespi Drum Syndicate.

Throughout the record, Jonny’s distinctive flair shines through, with tracks like “Crystal Eyes” inviting listeners into a realm of shearing chill-out vibes. “Luna Dance” follows suit, captivating with its restless breaks and simmering energy. “Level Skip” showcases the influence of his work in Crespi Drum Syndicate, taking it to exploratory depths, while “Live” showcases his penchant for pushing cryptic, stranger sounds.

Ultimately, i didn't then but now i do, invites listeners on a lush, transcendent journey through sound, where each track serves as an entry point to uncharted musical territories.
