CHIT CHAT: Jarreau Vandal



作为 LA 音乐厂牌 Soulection 的一员,Jarreau 已经为 Drake、FKA Twigs 等制作过混音单曲,还参加过 Boiler Room、BBC Radio 1、Red Bull Music Academy Radio 等现场节目录制,也和 Cashmere Cat、Sweater Beats、Mr Carmack、Sam Gellaitry 等同台演出过。成功在LA伦敦等其他城市的演出之后,Jarreau这次将会把他躁动的现场演出搬来上海了!


As a member of the beat focused Soulection imprint, Jarreau Vandal’s sound is groovy like a disco shark floating through a sea of funk to R&B tunes. The Amsterdam-based producer has remixed the likes of Drake to FKA Twigs with guest mixes featured on Boiler Room, BBC Radio 1 to Red Bull Music Academy Radio, playing alongside the likes of Cashmere Cat, Sweater Beats, Mr. Carmack to Sam Gellaitry. Smashing stages from Los Angeles to London and beyond, YETI welcomes the beat head back to Shanghai on November 17th at Le Baron!
