Jogger

Jogger is a Los Angeles-based electronic duo consisting of Jonathan Hischke and Amir Yaghmai. Emerging from the fertile experimental scene of the late 2000s, they became a bridge between the 'Low End Theory' beat scene and the broader indie-folk movement.

Their sound identity is built on a foundation of 'beat science' - complex, often glitch-heavy rhythm programming - intertwined with melodic elements typically found in psychedelic folk and indie pop. Hischke's background as a prolific bassist (having played with Hella and Dot Hacker) brings a technical, muscular edge to the arrangements, while Yaghmai's multi-instrumentalism and vocal work provide the melodic core. Critically, Jogger is respected for their ability to maintain a 'live' feel within highly processed electronic environments. Their career arc shows a move from the dense, maximalist structures of their debut toward the more atmospheric and noir-influenced textures found in later works like 'BRD Noir'. They occupy a unique niche that appeals to IDM purists, crate-diggers, and fans of experimental pop alike.
