Caffeine EP

Slick soundscapes, sharper moves, and a hint of noir—Caffeine is the kind of jazz noir that doesn’t need to ask for permission–an anthem for the femme fatale: elegant, elusive, always several steps ahead.

Accordions swell beneath the surface, while violins drift through like memories you didn’t know you had. Saxophones slink, stretching each note like the last drag of a cigarette, while basslines move forward in slow motion, dissolving into shimmering ambient pads.

Ambient electronic music elements create an EP that serves as a perfect backdrop for the atmospheric tension of a classic espionage thriller or the drama of a cinematic romance. It’s the kind of music that seeps into your subconscious, or the ambiance of flipping through a pulp novel under dim light, catching fragments of plots: a long-lost lover, a mysterious phone call, a heist you just got away with.

Each track carries a seductive tension, a potent cocktail of drama and romantic peril, where the thrill of the mystery is the only constant. The EP unfolds through five vignettes—Cornerstone, Gate 32, Argentinian Donuts, Glass Tower, and Cooked Skies—a sonic heist set within the romance of a high-stakes game.

Created by producer and musician, Junocomplex, and curated by media director Eddie Castillo, this EP is the producers work of an anti-hero, lingering in the spaces between the choices that define them.
