about

Sweat Equity is pleased to begin the year fresh with Collapse, the most recent drop from co-founder JX Cannon, and his first proper release in over a year. Since dropping Weed Farm in the early days of Sweat Equity’s run, JX has moved through a range of modes and frameworks, from the maximalist club of his Tanked EP with our good friends at Loveless Records imprint Materia, to a slew of soundcloud drops, edits and general heat, always informed by his broad palette and compositional abilities.

On Collapse, this sense of movement and flow moves in and out of pure dance functionality almost effortlessly, with early tracks flirting with shimmering trance instrumentals on towards to the hyper-smooth grooves of “Squiggle” and back towards the droning abstractions (and very nice bass drop) of closer “Nu Pastoral.” In each, Cannon’s work draws on contrast and shade, mood and movement to work through shades of subtle dread, reflective calm and flashes of decisive action, all orbiting around those sacred moments of dancefloor reverie that makes the work an equally compelling chill-out listen or choice cut for DJ’s looking to push the crowd towards the outer limits.

That a record like Collapse comes in the wake of a resurgence of global fascism speaks to the psychological landscapes populating JX’s most recent release, one that seeks a sense of meaning and a moment’s pause on the political, social and economic degradation of late capitalism. Inspired and driven by the uncertainties of the current U.S. regime, Collapse seeks spaces between the depersonalized internal monologues of the web and the physical and emotional isolation of a country in decline, clearing out space for the listener as both witness and subject.
As much as JX’s work demonstrates an expansive vision of the potential for his medium, this is equally a record in search of its center, trying to imagine a possible future in the face of the same near-endless state of cognitive violence the current administration has embraced. Even as the artist takes a drastic step out with his work, his own craft seems to beg the question of just what we all are collectively moving towards, both in the club, and outside it.

All donations for pre-sales and first week sales will go to benefit SWOP Behind Bars, an organization that helps sex workers meet their basic needs after their release from prison:
