Hello everyone! Biggest apologies for the radio silence on our website. Been super loaded with lotsa gigs, performances, appearances, mentorships, production work, yada yada yada… who says a musician’s life was easy…. we beg to differ… BIG TIME!

Some exciting things to look out for from J&R! Starting with the debut of Polo Boys on Mediacorp Channel 5. This thursday, 15th October at 8pm. Unfortunately, Jack & Rai are not part of the hotbod cast (Don’t think we can even beat the girls!)… but u’ll hear us everytime the show starts, cos we wrote the opening theme! A lil pop/rock tune called ‘The Ground’… big shout out to Chris Khong, one of the main men behind the show.

On tech talk, we just received a bunch of instrument and mic cables from Klotz. Must say we were definitely blown away by the differences in tone, gain and sound definition, as compared to the usual guitar cables we have been using. With an A/B test, could really tell that the signal was much cleaner, and the separation of notes, especially for acoustic guitar was pretty damn obvious. Specs of the cable we used ‘The Titanium’ are below, taken off the Klotz website.

‘infinite tone – perfect silence
KLOTZ a.i.s. TITANIUM

- New type of instrument cable completely free from microphonics.
- Patented cable design enhances sound.
- Patent protected in Europe and the USA.

Up to now, the issue of whether it was actually possible to radically improve an instrument cable was largely a question of faith. Of course, gradual enhancements were always introduced and enormous efforts and ambition were expended – but it’s only now that a genuine revolution is under way. German cable manufacturer KLOTZ a.i.s., based in Vaterstetten near Munich, announces the launch of the new TITANIUM instrument cable.

In the past, musicians were faced with the choice of great sound OR low cable microphony. The new TITANIUM cable guarantees both: superb sound quality PLUS minimal microphony.

KLOTZ a.i.s. has really succeeded in squaring the circle with its revolutionary new cable design. The TITANIUM not only delivers outstanding signal quality and tone; it’s also so rugged and tough that subsonic noise, motion noise, static and interference are reduced to negligible levels. These sonic and mechanical properties, plus Neutrik connectors (optionally with “Silent Plug“™), combine with the KLOTZ a.i.s. hallmark of long-standing technology experience to give an absolutely unique high-end cable.

By the way, the cable is produced in Germany and every one is subjected to a battery of tests before being released for sale. KLOTZ a.i.s. is so confident of the TITANIUM’s quality that it’s even issued a lifetime guarantee.
