Recording under the name Jega for a growing number of labels, Nathan's well-composed hybrids of new wave, electro, ambient, and, more recently, drum'n'bass are widely lauded in the international experimental electronic underground; his releases for noted Manchester-based, Autechre-affiliated label Skam are among the label's best.
Nathan got his start after close friend Mike Paradinas (aka u-Ziq, who also owns the Planet Mu label) urged him to get a few pieces of gear and begin making tracks. The results of that initial push were released by Skam in 1996 as the Jega EP, which was followed in mid-1997 by an additional self-titled 12-inch (sometimes referred to as the "Card Hore" EP).
Nathan has also released tracks through Skam/Musik Aus Strom co-project, Mask, and provided a remix for MAS co-owner Michael Fakesch's "Demon 2" EP. The full-length release Spectrum appeared on Paradinas' Planet Mu in 1998, followed by an American contract with Matador. Two years later, Nathan returned with Geometry.

I was lucky to see Jega perform in Miami back in 2001, it was a small venue but he put on an awesome set with this music from Geometry. Very cool dude, I actually met him afterwards and we chatted about different topics - his music, architecture, technology of those times.

delta0921 That would have been awesome! Dude is super talented. Been a fan since I first heard spectrum back in the early 2000s.

Dylan Nathan, Tom Jenkinson, and Richard D. James all went to the same architecture school. Where the water was spiked with fucking awesome.

Even in 2019 this music still sounds unique and alien. Almost like something a malevolent machine mind would dream of. Endlessly calculating and subdividing beats.
Buried InTime
this album is perfect. a classic by any standard. essential

Genius: I never understand how he composed Alternating Bit - overlaying Tron's Main Theme with his beats. Wendy Carlos used a funky time signature(s) to begin with. This is quite an accomplishment - a successful mashup before they became popular.

The real deal. Nathan is amazing.
