To be honest: until just a few weeks ago we never heard of that guy called Jacuzzi General. We don't know about how much of a stir he already caused in his home environment of Scotland, but he definitely made some big waves with his debut EP “Dreams of The Tropics” and especially „Pool Shark“ as it suddenly appeared as a constant fave in the sets of Red Axes, Simple Symmetry, Marvin & Guy and Daniele Baldelli, just to name a few. (What a Jacuzzi that would be!)

Jacuzzi General, Aaron to his mom and friends, is an electric musican who specialises in pleasure soaked dance music. Based in Edinburgh the General fuses his love for hydrotherapy, eastern folk and nu-disco to create a luxurious musical wonderland. 

With VICE declaring it “One of the most interesting November Premieres” and DJ MAG noting the track Eurostar as a “arpeggiated gem” - this debut is strongly worth a dip.

As we soon found out, he’s also doing great mixes, so we had to ask. And he delivered:
