Jorkes is one of the breakout stars of the last couple of years. After establishing themselves as a driving force in the Austrian scene with their Freeride Millenium label, key radio residencies and label events, they have now made a mark with sensual disco and house sounds on labels like this one, as well as AUS and Live At Robert Johnson. The vocal LGBTQIA+ activist always centres marginalised people in what they do alongside partner Daniel Rajcsanyi, who always provides original artwork for the releases.
The wonderful ‘Wisdom Of Whip’ is a joyous house trip with expressive piano chords surging over warm, pulsing drums. The keys grow ever more expressive and wild as they capture feelings of pure emotional release, and the buoyant bassline drives things home. ‘Work La Pochette’ is just as peak time and pumping, this time with cowbells and raw hi-hats dancing around the drums as acid-infused synths light things up next to steamy vocals and pensive chords.
Jorkes’s ‘Wisdom Of Whips’ comes on Permanent Vacation on October 11th 2024.
