Acclaimed producer, DJ, and music professor jacuzzi jefferson enters 2025 with his most ambitious project yet—dumbmachine, a boundary-pushing fusion of hip-hop, alternative R&B, and experimental soundscapes. Featuring an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Wu-Tang Clan legends Ghostface Killah and Inspectah Deck, UK-based songwriter Soren Bryce, and acclaimed New York producer/guitarist Chris Mazuera, the album is a testament to Jefferson’s fearless approach to production. Now available on vinyl via MMHMM Recordings, dumbmachine is as unpredictable as it is captivating.
Leading the charge is the album’s standout single, heavy, a track that embodies Jefferson’s genre-blending mastery. Opening with Ghostface Killah’s razor-sharp verses over a moody, melancholic beat, the song evolves seamlessly into a soulful, guitar-infused R&B landscape, courtesy of Chris Mazuera’s intricate production. This duality—gritty lyricism melting into lush melodies—reflects the album’s overarching theme: the collision of raw emotion and sonic experimentation.
dumbmachine takes listeners on a sonic journey, traversing classic boom-bap, alternative R&B, and electronic indie textures. Jefferson’s production is both unpredictable and deliberate, crafting an immersive experience that challenges the boundaries of contemporary music.
With a career that includes collaborations with Lil B, Denitia, and major licensing placements with Nike and Audi, Jefferson has long operated at the cutting edge of music. His engineering credits boast work with 50 Cent, Juelz Santana, Melanie Fiona, and Trey Songz, solidifying his place as a visionary in the industry.
The release of heavy is accompanied by a visually striking animated music video featuring Ghostface Killah, further amplifying the track’s intensity. Fans can witness the world of dumbmachine come to life at Jefferson’s official album launch show at NYC’s NuBlue on February 16th.
With dumbmachine, jacuzzi jefferson doesn’t just follow trends—he creates them. This album cements his legacy as an artist unafraid to blur the lines, proving that innovation and collaboration remain at the heart of great music.
