Logic1000's Genre-Bending Album: A Must-Listen for EDM Adventurers

Logic1000 Drops New Album with Christine and the Queens, Jam City, FAUZIA

Alright, crew, gather 'round. We've got something different this time and I ain't gonna dance around it. Logic1000, aka Samantha Poulter, has just announced her second album, Confirmation! Some of you might raise an eyebrow here because her name isn't etched into the jungle or drum and bass halls of fame. Instead, think house, dance, electronica. By now you're probably wondering what this has to do with us bass heads. A fair enough question.

Let's not pretend you haven't caught wind of her collaborations, though. Jam City, anyone? Now there's a name you know, brushing shoulders with some of the DnB crowd from time to time. But this new album isn't dipping its toes into breakbeats or syncopated rhythms. It's a selection that brings together the talents of Christine and the Queens, Jam City, and FAUZIA over more dance and electronica sounds.

Who Is Logic1000?

Sydney-born and now Berlin-based, Logic1000 has climbed through the crowded ranks of the electronic dance music scene. Her tracks are known for their stylish execution, weaving intricate patterns without getting lost in the spaghetti of sound some producers trip over. Her last album, Mother, got folks talking about her as one of the more intriguing artists of her kind. Believe that hype if you want, but know we're not leaping on this because the beat speaks elsewhere.

This time around, it's Confirmation!, an album that's set to drop through Therapy/Because Music/Virgin Music Group. On it, you won't find the usual assembly of jungle or drum and bass warriors. Instead, she's called in some big guns from other corners of dance music – and they fit the bill for her unique sound.

The Collaborators: Christine, Jam, and FAUZIA

• Christine and the Queens: Occupying that space where theatrical pop meets conceptual dance music, Christine brings an ethereal edge to the collaboration. Picture vibes suited to a night in a club where tales of love and life weave through synth-laden air.

• Jam City: The man has dabbled in production zones familiar to us but don't hold your breath for a rinse-out magic drop. Expect enticing motifs and layers that evoke thought more than motion.

• FAUZIA: This one's interesting. Floating in between tempos and vibes, she's as likely to sit behind a set of decks playing fractured beats as she is to contribute to a sound that has more in common with deep house than DnB.

The Verdict

Let's be clear – Confirmation! probably won't be rattling the walls of your favorite underground DnB venue. But I'm not sniffing at something just 'cause it doesn't fit squarely into our scene's paradigm. If anything, it's worth clocking how artists are reaching beyond their musical borders, even if Logic1000's excursions don’t quite overlap with our battleground.

In the end, it's not about putting this album in a golden cage, but rather recognizing when an artist like Logic1000 challenges genre boundaries. Maybe you fancy a different dance music fix when you’re not reloading the latest Ed Rush or Optical banger. For those moments, you might find something here that surprises. Or doesn’t. That’s for you to chart your own course, mate.

For our bit, we’ll keep the beats rooted in junglism and the bass heavyweight. But a nod to this Berliner and her adventurous companions wouldn't go amiss. Diversify the palate. Just don't expect a second drop.

Your boy, Jonny Luvs Jungle
