Glen Check is a duo consisting of Kim Jun-won and Jaybo.They debuted in 2011 with EP ‘Disco Elevator’ and took the scene by storm, winning the Best Dance & Electronic Album award at the Korean Music Awards in 2013 and 2014.Since then, they have been building their own musical world by crossing over various genres and experiments.Their identity is their constant variation, crossing genre boundaries from synth-pop, hip-hop, jazz, and R &B.
Glen Check’s music also goes well with videos.The songs ‘Dazed & Confused’ and ‘4ever’, which were included in the Netflix series ‘The Boyfriend’, are representative examples.’Dazed & Confused’ in particular captured the ears of the global public by topping the Japanese Spotify Viral Chart.Thanks to this achievement, Glen Check successfully held concerts in Tokyo(2,500 seats)and Osaka(800 seats)in Japan in January.The ripple effect is also strong on the live stage.
Glen Check is performing with two live systems.The ‘Band Live Set’, which consists of a band including a drummer, shows explosive power at rock festivals and large concert halls, and the ‘Electronic Live System’, which consists of three people, shows visual performances at clubs and electronic festivals.The title of this LP, ‘Electronic Live System 2024’, is also named after that performance format.
This album is a remix best that traces Glen Check’s musical journey in analog.It includes not only representative songs ‘60 s Cardin’ and ‘4ever’, but also tracks that open a new chapter, ‘Dive Baby, Dive’.A total of 10 songs are included on side A and side B, and Kim Jun-won composed, mixed, and mastered all the songs.Kang Hyuk-jun joined in on the synthesizer and bass.
Since their debut, Glen Check has not only performed on major domestic stages such as the Pentaport Rock Festival, Busan International Rock Festival, and Grand Mint Festival, but also on global festivals such as SXSW(USA), Summersonic(Japan), Sound Night(France), Clockenflap(Hong Kong), and Reeperbahn(Germany).Now, their sound is also playing on analog turntables.
