Thrive by Nature of Wires vs j:dead
Rising talent Jay Taylor (j:dead) and seasoned producer Gary Watts (Nature of Wires) first 'met' when Gary was a SubmitHub reviewer. Gary became an instant fan of j:dead's ebm/industrial style and was delighted when Jay invited him to contribute a remix of ‘Afraid’ for the physical release of the EP ‘Vision of Time’ in 2022. Fast forward several months and the pair agreed to collaborate on a new song, after they met in person at a j:dead gig in Manchester. Gary created a framework of a track, Jay added his trademark distinctive vocals and Gary built it up to a finished version.
Jay Taylor is no stranger to a collaboration, having teamed up with FabrikC, TeknoVore, Menschdefekt, Against I and Tyske Ludder. Gary also has an impressive back catalogue of collaborations and remixes (over 100), including Leaether Strip, Massive Ego, Fuzzbox, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Freakangel, Sea of Sin, Spankthenun, Projekt Ich & Madil Hardis
This new collaboration has seen the pair create a dark, bass-heavy and aggressive track, filled with vocal and instrumental hooks. Thrive deals with the drudgery of day to day life and the desperation which this creates is reflected superbly in the raw emotion of j:dead's vocals.
