Album Review: Jyam by TWOB – A Techno-House Gem from 2015
Alright, let’s talk about Jyam by TWOB. Released back in 2015 on the UK-based label Bad Life, this electronic album dives deep into the worlds of techno and house music. It’s not your typical polished dancefloor filler—it's got grit, groove, and a vibe that sticks with you long after the last beat fades out.
First off, let’s get into “Jyam Pt. 1 (Mujuice Remix).” This track is an absolute earworm. Mujuice takes the original and flips it into something fresh yet nostalgic, like hearing an old friend tell new stories. The bassline is punchy but smooth, kinda like when you’re dancing barefoot on cool tiles at 3 AM. There’s this subtle layer of synths weaving through the mix—nothing too flashy, just enough to keep things interesting. You can tell Mujuice knows how to balance energy without overdoing it. Honestly, I found myself hitting repeat because it’s one of those tracks that makes you nod your head even if you're just chilling on the couch.
Then there’s “Jyam Pt. 2 (Ghostek Remix),” which feels like stepping into a darker room. Ghostek brings a raw edge to the table, adding industrial textures and glitchy details that sound like they could’ve been ripped straight from some underground warehouse party. What stands out here is the tension—it builds up slowly, teasing you until the drop hits. And man, does it hit hard. It’s the kind of remix that makes you wanna grab your jacket and head out for a night of mischief. If “Pt. 1” is the warm-up, this one’s definitely the main event.
The rest of the album holds its own too, but these two tracks are what really stuck with me. They feel alive, almost like they’re telling their own little stories instead of just being background noise. TWOB nailed the balance between experimental sounds and danceable beats, and the remixes add extra layers of personality to the mix.
Reflecting on Jyam, it’s wild how albums like this still feel relevant years later. In a world where trends come and go faster than ever, this record reminds us why good techno and house music never really gets old. Oh, and fun fact—I actually listened to this while cooking pasta once, and somehow it made boiling water seem way cooler than it should be. Weird, right? Anyway, give Jyam a spin if you haven’t already. Trust me; your speakers will thank you.
