> As the principal creative mind behind the NYC-based electro-pop band
> Burnside Project (Bar-None Records), Richard Jankovich (aka Pocket)
> is not just well-versed in pop music production—he’s quickly become
> one of the most celebrated remixers today. As Pocket, Jankovich has
> done remixes for Beck, Radiohead, Kristin Hersh, Of Montreal, Elk
> City, Joanna Newsom, Mendoza Line, Dirty on Purpose, Eskobar and
> many others, always to critical acclaim (“We've always been fans,
> but this is the deepest Pocket's gone yet. Outstanding.”—Stereogum,
> “Where Radiohead's version builds from spare beginnings (little more
> than Thom Yorke's voice and keyboards), Jankovich lets droning
> tendrils of noise poke into all that space, setting a thumping beat
> beneath.”--Pitchfork).
>
> In a time where music is revisiting the concept of playing with
> projects that feature groups of disparate artists, often to great or
> horrible effect (from Bowie + Jagger + Bing Crosby in ‘85, Run DMC +
> Aerosmith in ’86, Celine Dion and R.Kelly in ’02—yes, that happened—
> and, more recently, N.A.S.A., or Timbaland + Cornell), Pocket gets
> it RIGHT. Through this collection of singles, not only does he prove
> once again to be one of the most gifted and imaginative remixers and
> producers around, but he demonstrates how different artists’ work
> can be linked together seamlessly, lit differently, angled freshly.
>
> After 10 years of making music in New York, Jankovich recently
> relocated to Los Angeles.
