“Konichiwa” by Jackson Englund Is a Sonic Invitation to Truth and Transformation

With “Konichiwa,” Jackson Englund is releasing a statement that sets the tone for his upcoming album, “Shadow Work,” a sonic greeting to transformation and a farewell to the versions of himself left behind.

Between his DJ sets, live shows, and his work as co-founder of the label and event series Gari Safari, Jackson has built a reputation as an artist committed to authenticity. He’s also the voice and producer behind Mont Blvck, and his history as a collaborator in the electronic scene backs him up.

Born from an intimate process of transformation, “Konichiwa” marks a turning point. With a grimy bass line, a hypnotic beat, and synthesizers, Englund moves between genres with complete confidence and success. The production feels vintage and futuristic as if the echoes of the past and the vibes of the future were meeting in the same dark room.

The song evokes the moment when we look in the mirror and decide to move forward and transform what no longer works for us. The mix of electronic textures, the tension, and that constant groove make the track ideal for the dance floor… but also for those who dance alone, working through their inner chaos.

This first preview of “Shadow Work” anticipates an album full of nocturnal spirit, made with the intention of moving people and helping them on their journey toward truth. This album is about introspection and liberation. And if “Konichiwa” is the greeting, everything indicates that the journey will be very interesting.
