INTERRUPT MUSIC is proud to present ‘In-Between the Times’, a six track EP, showcasing a broad range of styles from the talented singer/MC Deemas J and reggae/dancehall producer Interrupt.

After working together on a number of projects including the track ‘More Fire’ from Reggae Roast’s ‘Turn Up the Heat’ LP, and performing together at various shows around London, Interrupt & Deemas J formed a connection over a mutual love of reggae and dancehall music which would take them into the studio in 2020/2021.

The opening track ‘Do You No Wrong’ features a heavy, bass driven dancehall riddim from Interrupt, with Deemas J’s jazz-scat influenced vocals making for a catchy, fast paced, high-energy dancehall tune, guaranteed to get the crowd moving in the dance.

Next up is ‘Lover’, which showcases Deemas J’s unique DJ style, with lovers-rock inspired lyrics over an eclectic 80s style digital reggae beat.

The third track ‘Super Sharp Freestyle’ is another high-energy dancehall tune which features improvised off the cuff lyrics from Deemas J over Interrupt’s dancehall re-rub of the classic jungle tune ‘Super Sharp Shooter’. The vocals showcase Deemas J’s talent as a live performer, recorded in a single take with a huge range of vocal styles including fast chat, rapping and falsetto singing.

 ‘Congo Man’ is a song which pays homage to Deemas J’s ancestry after taking a DNA test, with a heartfelt melodic vocal over a heavy 90s style one drop riddim from Interrupt with an earth-shattering bassline.

‘Love is on the Rocks’ takes us back to the lover’s theme, with lyrics borrowed from Neil Diamond’s hit song of the same name, re-imagined by Deemas J over another heavy bassline led riddim, creating a unique take on the classic song.

Finally, ‘Chill’ features an uplifting and quirky 80s style digital reggae beat, inspired by Steely & Cleevie’s ‘Bigger Boss’ riddim, with Deemas J delivering some sweet vocal melodies, once again in a style reminiscent of the lovers rock movement of the 1980s.
