JMT and Daniel Hex shares detroit’s dance DNA with genre-bending anthem “Yes, I Can”
Detroit’s underground is being completely redefined by JMT, who represents tradition and evolution in a single stroke. On his latest single, “Yes, I Can,” a collaboration with Daniel Hex, the genre-blending producer has released a world-reversal of GhettoTech that’s sultry, soulful, and fiercely future-forward.
Taken from his new album GHETTOTECHTROPOLIS, “Yes, I Can” is a chameleon combining the pulse of GhettoTech, the precision of Techno, and the velvet soul of classic R&B. Still, there’s an audacity to this cocktail nonetheless, one that manages to feel both nostalgic and next-gen at the same time.
The story of the song is about as rich as the song itself. Born out of a gloomy afternoon spent at Heaven Studios – founded by none other than Royce Da 5’9 the track started life as a slow burn groove, with Daniel Hex’s sultry, luxuriant delivery existing over an easy-moving 125 BPM. But in post-production, JMT pulled a reverse. He turned up the tempo, let the percussion bang that much harder, and invested the track with a restless energy that one would expect to find only in the dimly lit basement of some smoky party: 3 a.m., if we’re lucky.
What makes “Yes, I Can” so magnetic is its twin natures. It’s a dancefloor fire with a soft heart. Hex’s own vocals dance effortlessly over the beat, providing the track with a human pulse under the hood of the machine’s perfect drive. It’s a deliberate contrast, Detroit’s grit and soul conjoined. Ultimately, “Yes, I Can” is the driving force of the future. On it, they are a fearless, finely calibrated clash of vibes that designates JMT a visionary voice in the city’s next musical chapter.

Neurolapse opens up buried feelings into a rebellious release “Fvck These Feelings”
Neurolapse channel released feelings that had been held inside for too long with “Fvck These Feelings.” That emotional urgency also translates into the writing process itself, with some of the lyrics coming in the early hours of the morning and insisting on being put down. From there, it was developed into a track that turns personal emotional pressure into a collective experience for listeners.
What is interesting about the song is the tension between the emotional base it draws on and the freedom it seeks to create. The song is born of the difficulty of releasing painful feelings, but its effect is anything but restrained. The band wants the song to make listeners dance, shout along, and let go of the emotions they have been carrying. This gives “Fvck These Feelings” an intuitive quality, turning frustration and emotional exhaustion into an opportunity to let go.
Something is refreshing about the song’s directness. Instead of bottling up feelings and keeping them a secret, “Fvck These Feelings” celebrates the messy process of letting them out. It gives people a chance to identify what they’ve been holding on to, and a place to let it out. Neurolapse takes a tough internal experience and turns it into something energetic, expressive, and communal. This is a track designed not simply to be heard, but to be felt and released through movement.
