Jneiro Jarel made this exclusive mix for Dazed Digital, to help promote his recent J.J. Doom mixtape with MF Doom.

DD: You’ve made an exclusive mix for Dazed, what’s the inspiration behind it?

Jneiro Jarel: I’ve been hugely inspired by the music from the UK since the ‘80s. I was into New Wave, I used to listen to Duran Duran, Tears For Fears, etc. People know me as ‘vintage-futuristic’, I like to always remember and pick the things I love from the past and bring it to the future. So that’s what I was doing, bringing Tears For Fears to now and mixing it with a newer song like ‘Winter Blues’, and also having a Gary Newman song come on before ‘Rhymin Slang’ because believe it or not, that’s the kind of sound that inspired that type of production.
