"This was the very first thing we ever intentionally recorded for Darklife, the earliest version of what would eventually become “Blast Jammer.” It was from the same session in February 2020 when James and I got together for a weekend in Philadelphia (we made “In The Matrix” the next day). James and I would frequently use the last section from this recording when we did quarantine-era livestream performances. For some reason we did not work on this track when we all got together in November of 2020 - Keith didn’t work on it until sometime in 2021. We also didn’t work on it when we all got together for the final sessions in February of 2022, probably because we decided to cut it from the album during those sessions. In many ways the final version of this song this song epitomized the “sound” of Darklife, so it’s a bit ironic that it isn’t on the album." - Tech

"Darklife first truly sprouted during that initial session with Tech, and right at the start of this song. It felt so good to be recording again, we started with nothing and just kept coming up with insane ideas. It seemed like making the next album would be easy haha - but maybe we had too many ideas in the end. The sheer volume of tracks made getting it all cohesive as an album the biggest challenge of all. This track being cut from Darklife seemed like some kind of impossibility and it was hard for me to accept, but at a certain point you just have to let go and never look back. Glad to see the two iconic versions of it finally surface." - James
