Biography
Jel released his first solo album, 10 Seconds, on Mush Records in 2002. The album is titled after the limited sampling time of E-mu SP-1200. It features contributions from Dax Pierson, Odd Nosdam, Doseone, and Alias.
His second solo album, Soft Money, was released on Anticon in 2006. The album features contributions from Dosh, Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers, and Stefanie Böhm of Ms. John Soda, among others.
He released his third solo album, Late Pass, on Anticon in 2013.
Style and influences
Jel is primarily a producer. He is known for his use of SP-1200 and MPC2000XL to create drum beats with little or no sequencing like playing the drums live via the sampler pads. He has produced numerous tracks for underground hip hop artists such as Deep Puddle Dynamics, Atmosphere, Sole, Sage Francis, and Serengeti.
Jel is also a rapper. He provided vocals on Soft Money and Late Pass. In a 2006 interview with The Skinny, he said: "What inspires me lyrically is television conversations and dope MCs."
