Jam City

Jack Latham's recordings under the alias Jam City range from post-dubstep club tracks to left-field pop songs, drawing inspiration from other electronic music styles such as early-'80s R&B, Chicago house, and U.K. grime. The South London native started on the Night Slugs label with an assortment of EPs and two albums, Classical Curves (2012) and Dream a Garden (2015), shifting from heavy bass frequencies and heady atmospheres on the debut to emotive songwriting showcased -- if partially obscured by scuffed surfaces and reverb -- on the follow-up. Since parting from Night Slugs with the Trouble mixtape (2016), he has issued projects such as the hallucinatory full-length Pillowland (self-released, 2020) and the ecstatic Jam City Presents EFM (Mad Decent, 2023). In demand as a songwriter and producer, Latham has collaborated with the likes of Kelela, Troye Sivan, Olivia Rodrigo, and Lil Yachty.
