N96

N96 formed when long time music collaborators and friends J. Krajewski (AKA “Juice”) and Justin Griego (AKA “JG”) combined every musical and technical ability they have developed over the years in order to produce the highest quality musical experiences possible. Without limiting musical expression explicitly to genre, each track is a bit of its own entity. Though electronic elements stay present, a solid blend of non-autotune vocals, physical instruments, and actual percussion are thrown in the mix depending on what the song calls for. Another aim behind a majority or their music is to leave the listener in a better mood after listening even when the subject matter may deal with some of the more challenging circumstances in life. Their debut single “Free In This Sound” was composed as a Retro/80’s celebration of artistic creativity and the power of imagination to transport us anywhere our thoughts and inspirations can take us. The unique blend of Synthwave and Synthpop elements with Indiepop, Funk, Dance and Jazz give this track a very powerful and positive energy. Think the nostalgia of Phoenix song “Lasso” mixed with the captivating synths of Depeche Mode and New Order combined with the Indie, Dance, and Jazz feel of M83’s Midnight City and St Lucia’s Elevate. Shortly after release the track gained exposure on various blogs and playlists worldwide and received airplay on various radio stations including Artefaktor Radio (Mexico, City), GREYAREA (UK), and RNN (Norway).
