Introducing Jeffrey Jerusalem, the West Coast’s next hot-shit producer, performer, and remixer. The high-energy moniker of Portland, Oregon’s Jeff Brodsky, Jeffrey Jerusalem delivers ecstatic rhythms, and primitive bliss as part of his multimedia lifestyle. As a producer, Jerusalem’s music combines playful, lo-fi bedroom disco—characteristic of Portland’s dance scene—with the top shelf techno-craftsmanship of his peers at DFA.
A lifelong musician, and producer, the 25-year-old Brodsky has adapted his meticulous home-studio aesthetic into a schizophrenic, postmodern circus of a live show that has been catching a lot of attention on the West Coast in 2009. While many electronic performers are content to stand behind a computer, or some array of samplers and drum machines, Jerusalem’s shows deliver a spasmodic and hilarious combination of aneurism-inducing falsettos, virtuosic percussion, and a frenzied array of improvised sampling and digital manipulation in the course of a 30 minute performance. With a well received full-length available on Lasercave Records, a string of high-profile remixes, and a slew of EPs in the works, this talent is poised to be that next populist link between club culture and DIY punk attitude.
