I'll admit to a tendency to think of music in overly pragmatic terms. Where can I use this? What situation in my life would be best served by hearing this playing from a home stereo, headphones or live in a club? When would I most enjoy this? Whenever you go down that road, however, you're leaving out a very large catalog of music, the sole purpose of which is to just be enjoyed...

Nosaj Thing - Home
Growing up drawn in to hip-hop, Nosaj Thing's Jason Chung highlighted these kinds of sensibilities on his debut album, Drift. Obtuse and booming, Chung's basses enhanced the music's already downcast, smooth tones. On "Fog" the beats would be jagged and upfront and later, on "Us," Chung employed more directly-driven patterns - with the help of immense atmosphere...

Jason Chung, who performs as Nosaj Thing, is part of the hip-hop community but makes music just outside of it. He's produced songs for Nocando, Busdriver,Kid Cudi and Kendrick Lamar, and he is a Low End Theory regular. Despite the fact that he performs with rappers, his music has a distant relationship to hip-hop. That relationship was barely visible on his 2009 debut "Drift," and it is almost impossible to detect on his sophomore release, "Home...

In contrast to its languorous title, Nosaj Thing's debut LP Drift hit the glitch-hop world like a bolt from the blue in 2009. The album shifted wordlessly between moods and colour palettes, its intricate electronic arrangements lent force and clarity by the LA-based producer's supreme skill and immaculate judgement...

On 2009's Drift, newcomer Nosaj Thing sounded like a down-tempo electronic prodigy. The record had frequent flashes of brilliance but, at least for me, often felt thin and underdeveloped. In the years since, he's been good for the occasional single and guest spot, including the excellent Kendrick Lamar collaboration Cloud 10...

27-year-old Los Angeles producer and DJ Jason Chung aka Nosaj Thing is a man who operates at the distinctly more oblique and avant-garde of hip-hop and electronic production. There is a temporal beauty to Chung's sonic explorations of the outer reaches of electronic music encompassing ambient sound collages, traditional hip-hop break beats and the darker, deeper core of dubstep...

Given that it's been well over three years since LA producer Jason Chung (a.k.a. Nosaj Thing) released his excellent debut LP, Drift, it's surprising how understated Home is. One might have suspected that such a lengthy break was the result of some sort of major stylistic upheaval, but in truth, Home retreads similar sonic ground as its predecessor, even stripping back much of that album's ambition and eclecticism...
