Acclaimed for his boundary-pushing soundscapes and masterful fusion of jazz theory with electronic production, Jade Cicada is set to redefine his artistry in 2025. With the announcement of his four-track Lunar Fade EP, slated for release on January 10th, and his ambitious Break The Hold Tour, Jade continues to captivate his devoted fanbase, known as The Swarm.
Lunar Fade EP: A New Era in Sound
Following the celebrated 2021 LP Pressure Gamut, Jade Cicada’s Lunar Fade EP marks a shift toward refined simplicity. Eschewing the dense layering of his earlier work, this EP offers a cleaner arrangement while maintaining his signature depth and intricate sound design. Tracks like “Lunar Fade”, “Goober Time”, and “Froggy Style” highlight his evolution, while “Frame Shift”, influenced by early 2010s beat scene music, blends melodic nuance with booming basslines.
Reflecting on his creative process, Jade shared:
“Using a new DAW is a huge inspiration. New tools bring new ways of thinking. My creative mindset is always: Does this feel new and fresh? Does this feel like a step forward in my journey? If so, it’s something I can proudly share with the world.”
The Break The Hold Tour
Kicking off 2025 with a nine-date Break The Hold Tour, Jade Cicada will deliver uniquely curated live shows that integrate immersive visuals and cutting-edge audio design. Notable stops include two highly anticipated festival appearances: his return to Electric Forest and his debut at Lightning In A Bottle.
Joining Jade Cicada on the tour are visual artists Tenorless and Laia, alongside a dynamic lineup of supporting acts such as EPROM, Resonant Language, Cool Customer, Mr. Carmack, and Mad Zach. Together, they aim to create an unparalleled sensory experience for fans.
A Visionary in Electronic Music
With his Lunar Fade EP and an extensive tour on the horizon, Jade Cicada solidifies his role as a visionary in the electronic music scene. Whether through his intricate productions or meticulously crafted live performances, Jade continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in electronic music.
Prepare for liftoff as Lunar Fade drops on January 10th, setting the tone for an extraordinary year of innovation, evolution, and unforgettable music.
