J, the new record from the Warsaw-based artist Jśa, sounds like it was beamed in from a club that doesn’t actually exist, though it almost could, but it doesn’t. What defines this non-existent club? A wonky sense of chill, maybe. It’s a place bathed in blue light and vodka, a place where the DJ might fuck around and mix an Autchere track out of a Big Sean song from 2011. This is uneasy club music, balancing royalty-free tropes with skewed electronica and forgotten MP3 detritus. It’s a playful excavation of the past 15 years of cultural confusion. It’s both fun and foreboding.
