The intersection of jazz and production-heavy music is a transient and highly-viscous landscape of emerging artists and novel compositions, and Iszlai is near the absolute center of that paradigm; after establishing his signature blend of percussive shuffles, broken melodies, and lacerated audio artifacts, he's further refined the impact of those choice assets, culminating in the All Into Now LP.

It's hard to understate Iszlai's control of rhythm, and his ability to diffuse steady and broken beat arrangements into one another is a pleasant shock to the senses. Those glitched-out percussive underbellies form a bedrock for the lush jazz chords and resampled cuts of conventional instruments and palatable synthesis featured across the album, creating a compositional groundswell song to song. Each passing phrase is the next step in the fragmented narrative of his songwriting, fleshing out the story in the manner of a bursting cocoon. By the time the needle reaches the end of the record, it's akin to the end of a trance, and the lingering effects of Iszlai's All Into Now will keep you returning time and time again to his personal touch of strange flavors in sound.

The Budapest-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Iszlai has put the finishing touches on a collection of exploratory, genre-merging tracks; Jazzamped blends the borders between freeform composition and timeless sample collaging.

Each track merges a bevy of organic, original instrumentation with precision synthesis and imaginative resampling. The underlying ensemble atmosphere across the album ties it together like a film grain on a dramatic vignette, with every texture feeling at once distinct, specific, and homogenous with the culture of tones that surround it.

It’s hard to avoid the draw of Iszlai’s arrangements, and it’s even harder to pinpoint any comparisons; each song in tandem betrays a stunning compositional scope, and Jazzamped channels that musicianship into a veritable adventure through Iszlai’s aural imagination.
