    Here’s an early track I created under my Jah Knee moniker. It first appeared on my debut, privately released cassette-based album, Dope Demo. I eventually released three more Jah Knees, including one on a proper indie label, before I finally got tired of trying to tune my guitar.

    Recorded in 1993 in Tenleytown, Washington, D.C., the track reflects my musical interests at the time: indie guitar jangle and loopy techno-pop. Amazingly, the track would re-emerge two years later on a cassette compilation called “The Art of Rocketry Stage 2: Afterburn,” released by my pal Derek Morton on his now-defunct ROCKER! Supernova imprint. It’s kinda groovy!
