Beyond the Present: Meet Jax From The Future, Stream “Afraid (Of A New Age)”

–Written by Kevin Madert

Ever listen to a track by a relative unknown and hear a voice in the back of your head say, “Not for long”? Meet Zach Bombich – aka Jax From The Future – a 22-year-old producer from Pittsburgh, PA who’s quality sound design and multi-genre versatility is sure to land him on plenty of radars in the near future. Bombich is a part of an ever-burgeoning contingent of talented local acts who call the Steel City home, and it’s his newest, “Afraid (Of A New Age),” that’s caught our ear today.

Falling somewhere near the intersection of trap and future bass, “Afraid (Of A New Age)” opens with subtle chopped-n-screwed vocals, soon accompanied by heavy bass hits and an array of oozing synths that would make Minnesota blush. With eerie digital horns and tinges of orchestral accompaniment, the track wouldn’t be out of place as theme music to a spacey 80s arcade game. With just enough edge to get your head bobbing and just enough restraint to keep you wanting more, it’s obvious Jax has a grasp on the little things – a characteristic that often separates good producers from great ones.
