Conjuration by it is Jev

Conjuration marks the debut of it is Jev on The Konklave Records, landing on 24 April. It is a track that leans into atmosphere and pacing, building its weight gradually rather than rushing to a drop.

The intro is cinematic and deliberately sparse. There is a sense of scale from the outset, with space used carefully to draw the listener in before any real pressure is applied. The early sections feel closer to a film score than a club tool, with a subtle tension running underneath that continues to build as new elements are introduced.

As the track develops, the low-end arrives with intent. A sawing bassline cuts through cleanly, shifting the tone into something more industrial while still holding onto the atmosphere established early on. The build is drawn out, supported by percussive elements that resemble distant war drums, adding weight without overcrowding the mix.

When the drop lands, it is firm and controlled. The drums are tight and functional, giving the bass room to move while maintaining a steady forward drive. The second phase of the drop reintroduces some of the earlier cinematic textures, tying the structure together and preventing it from becoming purely mechanical.

One of the more distinctive elements sits in the synth work. The longer, swelling textures carry a tone that recalls the expansive sound design of Subnautica, giving the track a sense of depth that extends beyond standard neurofunk arrangements. It adds a layer of scale without pulling focus from the groove.

In a DJ context, Conjuration works as a tool for holding tension and shifting energy rather than chasing an immediate peak. As a debut on The Konklave Records, it sets out a clear direction, measured, atmospheric, and built with a strong sense of control.
