J Kara is the alias of producer, DJ and founder of Subnote Records, Juliano Karahassan. From the island of Jersey, J Kara is sending out house inspired tracks which thrive on his desire for individual expression. There are clear influences in the path being taken here, with names like Ross From Friends and DJ Boring emerging, but the direction is decidedly under the control of J Kara.

Karahassan took his first major step into the electronic community while studying in London, with the creation of Subnote Records; still home to a varied community of artists and projects. Producing and DJ performances began to escalate following a year abroad in Thailand, but 2019 and the release of ‘For Nina’ and ‘Leon’ mark the point at which J Kara more seriously established himself as a producer.

Mainly experimenting within the genre of house, the unique flavours finding their way into the sound resonate with vibes of lo-fi and downtempo. There’s also a touch of something alien present in the unearthly melodies and synth samples which prevent the tracks being tied to an organic atmosphere.

‘Sunday Afternoon’ is part of the recent EP ‘Subterranean’, in the company of two other tracks which explore J Kara’s version of house.
