about

"Broadcasting direct from Mexico City, Jessica “Upgrayedd” Smurphy is back with #PENINSULA, another raw slab of head-tickling beats and rhythms that should do just the trick for anyone who’s grown a little distant from their body lately. Whereas many of Smurphy’s previous releases have staked themselves on disorienting wire-crossing and razor-edged deconstruction, this one is all about the club, its hypnotic bass and incisive hooks pounding away as if our very lives depended on it. Between all the heart-rate-accelerating synth stabs and the brief flashes of birdsong peeping through the bushes, #PENINSULA is a mad-dash jungle mix, a rustling in the trees to serve as a reminder that there’s always a reason to keep moving." Sam Goldner, Tinymixtapes

This album a tribute to Península de Yucatán and its unique elements.

The Mexican south east is a tropical area that’s well known for its beautiful coast and Mayan heritage. It’s a place charged with a mysterious energy, it’s also a place I ended up in the search for healing, and I didn’t quite find a cure, but I found answers and realities that where hidden.

I started losing mobility and energy and that made me obsessed with motion and the body, my body in motion, and how the lack of motion was transmitted weirdly to the audience during the live shows. This music was made to move the body, to say thanks to the body for its magic and its perfect complexity, and to say thanks to the elements from the Peninsula that were like clues that put the pieces together.

A deeply unsettling record that comes off as amateurish but is carefully crafted. It gives Shaggs vibes with its sing-songy melodies and off kilter sound Steven Moses
