Celebrated dance producer Planningtorock – aka Jam Rostron with the release of their radical fourth album Powerhouse via Human Level / DFA Records. Powerhouse marks the Berlin-via-Bolton producer’s most intimate album to date, a kinetic, self-produced record flush with attitude, humour, vulnerability and swagger. Powerhouse offers up something infinitely more personal: emotionally-charged, biographical anthems drawn from Rostron’s lived experiences as a non-binary genderqueer artist, experiences around family, identity and music itself. Powerhouse was written and recorded across Berlin, London, New York and Los Angeles. It comes couched in the precision-tooled synths that have become Rostron’s signature, though critics and fans will hear a subtle, ear worm-y shift in style here: from the Noughties US r&b swagger of Transome and the bubbling oldschool ‘90s house of Beulah Loves Dancing and Non Binary Femme, to the funky, flute-laced Much To Touch (the only track on Powerhouse to feature a co-producer, long-time friend and collaborator Olof Dreijer of The Knife).
