MISTER JACKPOTS - Patio Encounter by Secret Wilderness published on 2021-02-01T01:12:32Z MISTER JACKPOTS - Patio Encounter EP - ISR005 “Patio Encounter” is the debut EP from MISTER JACKPOTS… a cat who lives with music producer Jake Reid. According to Jake, a cat wandered out of the woods at his in-laws house looking for food a few years back. Him and his wife nursed the cat back to health and realized he was extremely smart at figuring things out. “He hangs out with me in the studio all the time,” says Jake, “We got him games early on that were food driven and he figured them all out so it doesn’t surprise me that he decided to make a record.” “Patio Encounter” is full of banging 808’s and layers of LA and FM synthesis against squelchy acid lines and 90’s house chords. The EP contains themes of patio adventures watching wildlife, nip induced grooves for late-night headphoning, and Jackpot’s weird connection to lunar cycles (Strawberry Moon). Things might be bleak right now but at least there are some cool cats throwing down lush vibes. Genre Electronic
