Listen: Mix Dos by Taxxess

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in music in central TX is Jim Moon. From the outside, he’s a tortured soul who constantly explorers the emotive side of electronic music. While the tunes may have a dark feel, Jim’s livelier side comes through the instrumentals with grooving beats and ambience.
You may remember Jim Moon from I-OK and other projects he’s been apart of over the years, but his latest foray entitled TAXXESS may be some of his best work yet. It’s got this Nosaj Thing, negative space attribute that is popular right now in other genres, but Jim’s use of it isn’t pandering or trendy. TAXXESS harkens back to a time when Squarepusher and Aphex Twin’s Windowlicker album were the center of the esoteric electronic world.

Sobre Sound
A year ago we heard the first mix from our associate Jim Moon (aka Taxxess) and now he’s back with a fresh selection of personal favorites! While there are few bigger names on the list (Jlin, Com Truise), bulk of the mix consists of music by smaller/indie producers and artists, which is something to be commended, for sure.
