US producer Chameleon Sessions is the Catfish among beatmakers. As his name applies, he adjusts to different environments to make any type of beat. Confusing fans with multiple monikers while he’s at it.

Beats by Jan began as a troll post on social media about a fake beat tape. And now, life imitates art: he made an actual Beats by Jan tape, soon to be released on cassette via Greek boutique label Nekubi Tapes.

And it’s a nice one. With most notably “The Silver Beat Matter,” a short story in the style of a 40s detective radio show molded into a beat.
