Before starting this most recent chapter, Massachusetts-born Jackson Stell spent a good amount of time producing hip hop under the name J Beatz. But upon visiting some of California’s most grandiose natural formations, Stell shifted gears, upped the ante on his atmospheric sounds and rebranded himself as Big Wild
Big Wild only released his debut full-length this past February, but the emotional depth and electronic tones certainly live up to the album’s title, Superdream. You’ll be able to experience Superdream live onstage, this Wednesday at Emo’s, and to get your foot out the door and into Big Wild, check out a track that features British singer Rationale, “6’s to 9’s”!
