Skybreak

If Jack Ramsay’s first few projects as Skybreak were escapist fantasies influenced by a deep sense of wanderlust, HALF BLOOD is the culmination of his lived experiences out in the real world. Raised just outside NYC by an American mother and a British father, Ramsay grew up making frequent trips to New York and London, which ended up becoming the breeding grounds for his third album. Attending DnB/UKG raves in these urban environments and diving deep into music from some of England’s pioneering electronic acts (Coki, Burial, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack) drove him to focus on groove & atmosphere, while still allowing subtle splashes of colour to seep through the concrete.
