Bass | Jerry Folk Drops Collaborative Future Bass Gem, “You know”
Posted by Tay on February 12, 2016
Norway’s next star, Jerry Folk, has been on a steady, yet slow-burning ascent as he’s released several chart-topping tracks. Last year, he brought us his remix of Years & Years’ “Desire,” an original “Futura,” a hit remix of Oh Wonder’s “Lose It,” which racked up 13 million+ plays on SoundCloud alone, and more. Jerry didn’t waste any time in getting back on the release train with “To My Soul” last month, and he’s continuing to impress with another original, “You Know,” that he created with ELOQ during a visit in LA. This newest number is a future bass gem that a testament to both Jerry and ELOQ’s versatility in the studio.

Nu Disco | Jerry Folk Takes Years & Years’ “Desire” Into Space With New Remix
Posted by Tay on August 31, 2015
With the release of Communion in the rearview mirror, Years & Years has been the subject of plenty of remixes this summer. Frontman Olly Alexander’s pop croons provide the perfect vocals for a talented producer to come in and work some magic, and the UK-based electronica band has already been remixed by the likes of Gryffin, Zac Samuel, and more, and today, Norway’s Jerry Folk has unveiled his remix of Years & Years’ “Desire.” Folk is no stranger to indie remixes, as his remix of Oh Wonder’s “Lose It” topped the Hype Machine charts on its way to 4.5 million plays in less than a year, and his “Desire” remix is a lesson in nu-disco. Disco-tinged synth stabs combine with electro-infused basslines and subtle percussions accents to give Folk’s remix a decidedly 70s feel.

Fresh off of his stellar remix of Oh Wonder’s “Lose It,” Jerry Folk is back with his second original, “Futura,” a nu-disco masterpiece that showcases the Norwegian producer’s various influences. It’s rare to find a producer who can float between genres as effortlessly as Jerry Folk, as his signature nu-disco style often blends with other influences like house and indie. Old-school, 70’s-inspired synths wash over the production in “Futura,” while a plucking bass guitar and driving piano melody gives the track a deep groove fitting for a 4 am warehouse rave. You can peep “Futura” above!
