as night falls • as day breaks: Vinyl LP

Label: DeepMatter
Release Date: 5th June

A modern jazz funk record of two sides as sonic mastermind Jerk devotes oneside to electro-jazz midnight funk jams 'as night falls' and 'as day breaks' so does a side of warm soulful jazz.

Brooklyn-based composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist
Jerk presents ‘as night falls / as day breaks’, a two-part project
brought together as a single, narrative-driven vinyl release
tracing the transition from night into day.

Originally conceived as a dual EP cycle, the project unfolds
across two contrasting sonic worlds. ‘as night falls’ explores
nocturnal electro-jazz, midnight funk and introspective, groove-
led textures, while ‘as day breaks’ shifts toward warmth, clarity
and forward motion, capturing the quiet optimism of first light.

Created alongside longtime collaborator and drummer Martin
Wade, the music moves fluidly between jazz, soul and
electronic influences, forming Jerk’s most cohesive and
immersive body of work to date.

Presented as a single LP, the release offers a complete listening
experience. Side A journeys through the shadowy, late-night
tones of ‘as night falls’, while Side B introduces the brighter,
more expansive palette of ‘as day breaks’. Together, the record
forms a continuous arc, a cinematic, emotionally resonant
project designed to be experienced in full.
