All You Need to Know About Mumdance

Mumdance is an artist known for his passion and staying true to his purpose. Here’s what his music is all about and the factors that had an influence on it over the years.

Music Style

The music by Mumdance (real name: Jack Adams) can be defined as a mix of dizzying tunes and street beats — something in-between grime, dubstep, electro, and garage. Adams himself says that these are just strange sounds that many listeners may not find very attractive. But you must admit that there is something beautiful about this music, although it is rather confusing to dance to.

Jack Adams bravely destroys stereotypes. His DJing breaks genre boundaries, and each new project becomes another hit created thanks to the unrestrained potential of electronic music.

Mumdance Biography 

Since childhood, the popular producer and DJ has been impressed by energetic metal music, which his father was also fond of. As a teenager, he was interested in jungle and breakbeat hardcore. At the age of 13, Adams saved some money to buy a real DJ mixer with a set of decks. Then he received a great experience of working in a music store, meeting important people in the music industry. As a result, Jack Adams felt that producing music was something he wanted to do.

His first project was called Fallout. Jack got the opportunity to work in a professional studio and became interested in early grime and dark garage. Then he had a job in the London Vice Magazine, where the young manager arranged numerous grime events. There he met Jammer and made a bootleg for him, as a result of which he became a member of several remix projects for Gucci Mane and Santigold.

Over some time, Jack Adams got bored with touring and having parties and started working on getting the equipment for his own studio. Just two years later, he presented his own mixtape album Twists & Turns. Over the following years, Adam’s musical career was associated with such labels as Mad Decent, No Hats No Hoods, Tectonic, Keysound, Rinse, and XL Recordings, and such musicians as Logos, Pinch, Novelist, and Riko.

Who Is Cerebral Ballzy

Cerebral Ballzy consists of five Brooklyn skaters with hardcore punk nostalgia. Under the influence of Black Flag, Dead Boys, and Bad Brains, the musicians started collaborating to create a new modern version of the 80s speed metal. They quite succeeded in this adventure, and six months after the start of their work, in 2011, the team received their first contract with Vice Records. With the release of their debut album, Cerebral Ballzy started spreading classic hardcore on a tour around the US.

The band has been invited to different European festivals such as Pukklepop, Roskilde, Reading, and Leeds.
