International Chrome 27 review

Interception, the second long player from Jensen Interceptor following 2018's Mother, is
something of a state-of-the-nation that finds Melas consolidating several eras of his career,
past and present, to form a distinct new sound that is the most experimental work he has
produced to date.
In 2024, a freak accident at an event he was playing left him with multiple broken bones in his
foot. The forced downtime became an opportunity for introspection, allowing him to revisit
earlier projects and explore new musical territories. Blending his signature electro with genres
such as IDM, footwork, and baile funk, Melas used this recovery period to fuse old influences
with fresh global sounds.
"Since I started making music I've always made music geared towards use in my DJ sets but
there's always been an urge to explore the deeper side of electronic music. That time off after
the accident gave me the space to dive into genres and really experiment."
The accident came at a time when he had already spent time, like so many others though the
COVID-19 pandemic, assessing his next move. A full tour schedule had left him feeling
constrained by the limitations of working in a single genre. As such, Interception is the end
point of this reassessment and the start point of what Melas sees as the next stage of his
musical evolution.
"I really wanted to challenge and, I guess, prove myself in other spheres, to take my music to a
new place. I've never wanted to be too repetitive and found that expectations, imagined or real,
were forcing me to get stuck on a specific sound both in my productions and DJ sets."
This renewal is reflected in the title of the album, which eagle-eyed fans will note is the same
as the first EP that was released under the Jensen Interceptor moniker, and the emotional and
personal nature of the LP is likewise mirrored in the abstract impressionism of the artwork
created by fellow Australian, Brodie Kaman, the artist behind the visual look of Lady Gaga's
recent Mayhem LP as well as works for FKA Twigs, Nine Inch Nails, and more. The
design-resembling oil drifting across a microscope slide-uses a mix of vivid pastels and
moody darks to express the album's emotional depth: a collection of distinct elements
coalescing into something richer and more evocative.
