Jacques Greene & Nosaj Thing

Jacques Greene and Nosaj Thing return with new single, “RB3,” the second release in an ongoing collaborative project begun in 2023 with “Too Close.” With a full album slated for release next year, “RB3” gives us a taste of what’s to come: moody growling synths and deep introspective drums, with omnipresent ticking percussion and vocal chops driving the track forward. “Cross country sessions, endless versions and road testing,” state the veteran producers of the track. “Laptop linking, rev matching. RB3 is our new single for the dance floor.” “RB3” comes freshly off the heels of an extensive joint tour which featured back-to-back sets with dates in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. The duo will take their show overseas this fall. 

Jacques Greene has been making music “about the club” for over a decade. Over the course of multiple EPs, singles, and two full-length albums — 2017’s Feel Infinite and 2019’s Dawn Chorus — his sound has developed into an emotional haze. The following year, he released ANTH01, a collection of unearthed tracks spanning the earliest years of his career alongside previously unreleased tracks. Outside of his own releases, Greene has explored his relationship with the club in a variety of contexts, from the collaboration with Bonobo on “Fold”, to remixing Radiohead to producing for Jessy Lanza, Tinashe, and touring with The xx. 

Nosaj Thing — the moniker of Jason W. Chung — is an expert in crafting exquisite soundscapes that hold a mirror up to his journey, and moreover a live lineage in Los Angeles. His sound and style took root at LA’s iconic Low End Theory. From DIY roots, Nosaj built a communal following that has carried him for almost two decades, from his opening performances for The Weeknd, to closing out Coachella’s Sahara Tent in 2013, to a decade of ambitious, headline experiences with Tokyo-based audio-visual savant Daito Manabe. His tactile, atmospheric production has made him a sought after collaborator for serpentwithfeet, Toro Y Moi, Tinashe, and Julianna Barwick, among others. The distinct sense of place and feel that defines his music has made Nosaj Thing a cult favorite across his expansive discography.
