Hieroglyphic Being – The Electronic Belt [ALT009]
Hieroglyphic Being with The Electronic Belt, his second release for Alter, and perhaps his most dancefloor orientated release for a good while. The EP is made up of three choice cuts from last years Man With The Red Drum transmission with each track bearing the signifiers of Jamals rough and distinctive production; melodies twisting themselves into psychedelic wormholes, raw kicks and toms that hit as hard and tight as walnuts. Yellow vinyl edition in 5 different coloured disco bags, mastered for vinyl by Stephen Bishop
The Sun God – The Nine Billion Names Of God EP [RHYTHM007]
Four mindbending & spiritual acid sessions by mighty mr. Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being, reconnecting the children of earth once more with the ongoing bio rhythm of Dharma, the regulatory order of the universe and the ever & omnipresent sacred spirit of jack.
The Sun God – The Spirits Have Spoken [SEQ006]
Chicago legend Jamal Moss makes a return to Sequencias with two tracks of overdriven angularity in his most jacking incarnation, The Sun God. If you know Jamal, then you’re aware that no other artist has informed electronic rhythm-based music quite like he has. Spoken By The Spirit works a thicket of hi hats and snares around an incessant clav in one of Moss’s signature persuasive work outs. 4 This Is Your Salvation seems to run in the opposite direction of the A side—the tangle of stuttering, overheated circuits now being sucked into a vortex with an uneasy momentum.

Hieroglyphic Being – Le Jardin Des Chemins Bifurquants [AUDIOMER008LP]
Le Jardin des Chemins Bifurquants is the first full length album of Chicago based electronic music artist, producer and DJ Jamal R. Moss.Gritty futuristic meltdown of House, Free Jazz, New Age and Noise. For this record, Jamal worked with the concept of plants having a religion, and the question of what their way of worship would look like. This resulted in a dark deep-space overture with raw synth stabs, extreme pitch-shifted textures and hypnotic tribal rhythms—somewhat reminiscent of Sun Ra’s interstellar electric keyboard explorations. Le Jardin des Chemins Bifurquants is an unclassifiable tour de force that is oozing with profound cosmic meaning. For those not lucky enough to lay their hands on the genuinely rare full length album of Chicago artist, producer and DJ Jamal R. Moss, here is another chance to obtain this rare artifact.

Members Only – The Muzic Box Vol. 1 EP [MUZICBOX01]
Chicago cassette tape/reel splices by Jamal Moss. It opens with ”Slamming the box”, a hypnotizing, slow burning, excursion to tripped out places reaching over 16 minutes. ”Jack the floor (edit T21)” on the flip is a dark synth experiment & ”Whistle on & on” gets seductive.
Hieroglyphic Being – FACT mix 333
“FACT mix 333 is a similarly giddy, similarly cliché-capsizing outing from Moss. Recorded on March 15, 2012, at the Musicbox club in Lisbon, it captures Moss across 2 hours and 45 minutes of live PA performance, vinyl DJing and editing on the fly. It’s by some distance the longest FACT mix we’ve ever hosted, but we couldn’t bring ourselves to edit it down: Moss’s exhilarating narrative, at times improvised and free-associating, at others coolly controlled, simply demands to be consumed as a whole.”
