With his first album in 6 years, rebuilt from scratch after a catastrophic hard-drive meltdown, the experimentalist is putting himself front & center as a pianist, harpist, and more, while still retaining a connection to the soundsystems and dancefloors where he made his name. (HOUNDSTOOTH)
#27 on Pitchfork’s “Best Albums of 2025”!
“A marvel of world-melding production, Under Tangled Silence begins with a piano-led, faux-ensemble piece that crinkles at its edges with the fine details of a deep house track. By the time we realize that we’re listening to dance music, Djrum has already reinvented the genre. This reclamation is a refusal: of orthodoxies, factionalism, and consistent BPMs. Like a scientist, laboring away for years on a hypothesis, Djrum proves that concert music and breakbeats share DNA, and that rhythm is as mutable as melody. The immediacy of this album’s innovations makes its vision seem retrospectively inevitable, as if electronic music has always housed such varied sensibilities under the same roof.” –Daniel Felsenthal
