Jesse Whitney

Some performances ask for attention. Others quietly reshape it. We’re honored to present a new live performance from Minneapolis electronic artist Jesse Whitney, whose work unfolds between intricate IDM, immersive ambient, electroacoustic composition, and deeply textured sonic exploration. The recording was performed live at NEW WORLD in Minneapolis, April 24, 2026. For more than a decade, Jesse has cultivated both a record label, Æther Sound, & Envelop, Minneapolis’ beloved deep listening series, creating rare spaces for listeners to experience adventurous music with intention. Following Envelop’s final showcase in 2025, its influence continues to resonate through the artists and community it helped foster. Æther Sound continues to explore new territories. This performance reflects that same spirit: patient, detailed, and rewarding for those willing to disappear into sound. Take a moment. Turn up the speakers. Listen deeply. credits released July 22, 2026 All sounds by Jesse Whitney Artwork by R. Miller Mastering by Tunnel @ Webuildmachines

12 track album

Tunnel

*Personas* is the second full-length studio album from Tunnel, a visceral exploration of the human experience told through the pulse of warehouse aesthetics. Blending jungle, techno, and bass music with seamless precision, the album defies genre boundaries—often within a single track—crafting a dynamic and immersive sonic narrative. At its core, *Personas* is both a technical and emotional deep dive into dance music as storytelling. The album charts a path from utopian yearning through dystopian realities and disillusionment; tracing themes of alienation, surveillance, and commodification of the self, and ending with a rediscovery of human empathy, connection, and hope amidst the ruins. credits released September 27, 2025 All tracks produced by Tunnel Vocals for Lost in Shadows by Lilith Burke Mastered by Gio at Artefacts - Berlin A very warm and special shout out to Kelsey for letting me 'do my thing' for countless days and weeks and months, Nate for the studio time and Grove Music crew for the feedback and support throughout production, Jesse and WWW for the input and feedback as this project evolved, Simon (Swarm Intelligence) for the notes, technical support, and thoughts on flow, and everyone who shared an encouraging word and checked in on the project.

There are many in our communities who have suffered as a direct result of the actions of ICE and the Trump administration in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and across the state of Minnesota. Under Operation Metro Surge, families have been forced into fear and isolation. Parents look over their shoulders while dropping their children off at school. Workers are afraid to show up for their shifts. Neighbors are afraid to leave their homes for groceries. People—citizens and immigrants alike—have faced harassment, detention, and violence. But our communities do not face this alone. In solidarity with the organizers, neighbors, and mutual aid networks on the ground doing the hard work of protecting and caring for one another, we offer this compilation as a contribution to the struggle. All proceeds from this release will go directly to Smitten Kitten’s Rental Relief Fund, supporting people whose housing and livelihoods have been threatened during this crisis. Donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/smitten-kitten-x-nhn-rental-relief-fund If you donate directly, send us proof of your contribution and we will send you FREQUENCY RESPONSE, VOL. 1 for free. To remain transparent and accountable, we will publicly post donation receipts bi-weekly for the first month, and monthly thereafter. Music has always been a tool for resistance, solidarity, and collective power. As artists, we may not be able to stop injustice on our own—but together we can support those on the front lines, protect our communities, and refuse to stay silent. This compilation is our contribution to the global fight against fascism. Thank you to the artists who contributed their music in support of this project, and to those of you offering a donation to the cause.
