Hieroglyphic Being

"Producer and boss of Mathematics records, Jamal Moss a.k.a Hieroglyphic Being is a one-off musical explorer. Jamal’s music takes cues from the EBM and House that played a huge part in the Chicago's musical underground in the late eighties and early nineties, notably Ron Hardy and Adonis, but also Industrial, Avant-Jazz and Noise. His tireless schedule of rough low-key releases over the last 12 years and his intense, very physical, psychedelic music, have made him a key exponent or maybe even a pioneer of what’s recently come to be named ‘Outsider House’, although he prefers the more Sun-Ra like descriptors of ‘Rhythmic Cubism’ and ‘Cosmic Be-Bop’. - Cafe Oto

"Jamal Moss has taken the template for Chicago house to increasingly cryptic and esoteric realms, yet never lost sight of its original, raw-to-the-bone, in-the-moment and psychosexual intent. Where others navigate the disco cosmos by GPS beat-matching, Jamal's TomTom follows ancient, searching, internal algorithms to divine more chaotic realms of harmony and rhythmelodic texture that share more in common with the sonic ontologies of Sun Ra and Throbbing Gristle than the reams of stultifying, neo-con marketing tools that are all too often up-sold as lifestyle options to patronised audiences across the world.
Jamal's 3 hour+ DJ sets are ecstatic, unquantised and inclusive displays of intuition, knowledge and passion that dovetail the past and possible futures into the immediate present with an ineffable logic that will either be understood deeply, feverishly, or baffle the fuck out of you." - Faktion
