Dutch producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and performer Jasper Wijnands AKA Shook is set to release second album 'Spectrum' on 19th November.
After releasing his self-titled debut album mid-2013, Shook immediately dove back into his studio where he locked himself away for months.
“I had a lot of stuff on my mind and transferred it all into my music. Before I knew it, I had enough tracks for a new album” he explains.
Elaborating on the musical, more melody based direction he set out with his first album; 'Spectrum' explores more of his multi-facetted synthesizer sound, combining modern day production technology with musical elements and compositions stemming from the '70s and '80s.
First single 'Violet Hues' is riddled with a boatload of both modern and classic synth-sounds and accompanied by smooth vocals, characterized by the vintage Shook-sound, but with a more developed musical pallet. Ransom Note coined it "Think Blonde Redhead mixed by Johnny Jewel...One of the best tracks of the year".
On latest single 'New Horizons', Harder Blogger Faster describes Shook "on imperious form as he weaves delicate live instrumentation against fretting guitars and doughty basslines for a seriously laid-back slice of warm disco".
His ability to blend his skills as a pure instrumentalist, as well as a university schooled producer, into a modern, popular sound, are the main ingredients for his current success. Playing classical compositions from the likes of Khachaturian and Bach in school, and practicing work from Antonio Carlos Jobim and Chick Corea in his free time, he gradually developed his own unique skillset, combining elements of classical, jazz, latin, soul, and funk. The characteristic sound partially originates from his use of historically renowned analog synthesizers, with every part recorded live in his home studio in the Netherlands.
After high school, he got accepted to Codarts Rotterdam, University for the arts, where he graduated in 2009, majoring in piano as well as modern day sound engineering. Unlike fellow students, he had the luxury of already being somewhat of a fixture in the electronic community by creating and promoting his music during his free time.
His first EP, 2010's 'The Glow', saw Shook burst into the electro scene with a mysterious comicbook-inspired persona, which still inspires his image today. With well received remixes of Phoenix's 'Litztomania', Falullah's 'I lay my head' and Ellie Goulding's 'Lights', he instantly acquired a name for himself. A year later he dropped his next EP 'The Rise and Fall', described by Mixmag as "disco-electro gold", before his self-titled debut album topped the Bestsellers listing on Bandcamp.

Shook is an independent producer, composer and musician based in The Netherlands. In his own words his work is inspired by
"timeless forces such as love, change and art and originates from the 70's, early 80's synth-pop, disco, funk to anime and futuristic soundtracks'....more
I liked Desired's self-titled release very much, so had to get "Lovestory" as well, its style feels the closest. Desired must be a fan of the 80ies "Cat's Eye" anime, as tracks 1 and 8 are from its soundtrack. Leading Motive
A blistering 15-track compilation of serrated electronic music that dares you not to cut yourself on its rough edges. It’s great! Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2022
The new single from ako takes a decidedly woozy take on club music, with dreamy vaporware aesthetics and a deliciously laconic beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 29, 2022
The synthwave/synth-pop you like to hear, over and over and over again!
Hard to a favourite because they all have something catchy to them that makes them so memorable to me. pix_
