Jovak - 07:20 am

The origins of this EP trace back to October 2025, when Ben Kamal was invited to play at Scuttle: Jovak’s own party in Manchester. As the night dissolved into morning, a small circle drifted back to Jovak’s place. Records kept turning until dawn, the room hovering somewhere between exhaustion and elation.

After the weekend, Jovak found himself alone in the studio, at 07:20 on Monday: a rare moment unlike any before. Fragments of what had been heard — basslines, textures, half-remembered transitions — still circulating in his mind. What followed emerged from that in-between state; a timestamp became a title.

On the A-side: 'Caught Out' is a theme for stomping, tireless feet. Hi-hats swerve overhead like surveillance cameras. Tension mounts as synths and basslines roll over each other. Distant thunder is bitcrushed into static on the horizon. 

‘Mod In Deb’ dresses itself layer by layer. Hi-hats flutter, a driving bassline locks in, a jacking rhythm takes hold. A pulsating, hypnotic synth and airy pads turn this track into a timeless thing that only deepens with each listen.

In '07:20 am' on B1, glistening hi-hats ricochet off the walls. A primal bassline awakens, stretching out slowly. Acidic drips and ripples warble through space. Halfway through, a saw-like synth line cuts through it all. Chris Ferreira dismantles and rebuilds the original, dipping it in spectral warmth. Rhythms layer and scatter like windswept leaves.
