Vegyn Comes Alive at Webster Hall

Vegyn – Webster Hall – December 6, 2023

A first-time listener to Vegyn, the British producer and DJ (born Joe Thornalley), may be at once daunted and puzzled encountering his music. He’s the wunderkind who helped make Frank Ocean’s Blonde (2016) — the No. 1-rated album of the 2010s, according to Pitchfork — well, Blonde. In 2021, he released a 71-track album titled Text While Driving if You Want to Meet God!, essentially a scratchpad of bits and bops whose song titles read like file names. And this year, he put out a record under the alias Headache and in the vein of, perhaps generously, the Streets or Sleaford Mods: spoken word over atmospheric sounds and drums.

That’s hardly close to a full accounting of Vegyn’s work, but he gave the people of NYC a nice slice of it on Wednesday night at Webster Hall. He opened with “I See You Sometimes,” off the six-track EP Like a Good Old Friend (2021). The song, featuring the rapper Jeshi, whose voice moves in and out of distortion, was a pleasant entry point to the night. It starts spare and slow and blossoms into a danceable break-heavy hit. But Vegyn isn’t interested in sountracking your club night. “I never wanted to go out,” he said in a 2019 interview with Billboard for his debut full-length, Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds. “I’m much more of a homebody. This music speaks to that.” On “Debold,” as in much of his music, Vegyn’s concern is lo-fi production and melody, something he’s said he finds lacking in modern electronic music. He is gifted at nipping and tucking his genre-bending tastes into something truly new.

That tendency made for beautiful listening on Wednesday. His tracks my not be ripped through with 3D wub and dub, but that doesn’t make them any less rich or transportive. The Headache track he played — “The Party That Never Ends,” off The Head Hurts but the Heart Knows the Truth (2023) — seems to suggest he’s leaning even further away from the floor. Piano lilts and ripples over dreamlike wooziness: “I’ve been running for a long, long time / For years,” an AI masc. British voice says. “I know I can’t find what I’m looking for / And I’ve wasted so much time / But I don’t regret a thing.” The music pauses, then the percussion kicks in, guitars, and we’re riding. Is this rock? “So what?” in the song’s own words.

Vegyn ended with “Makeshift Tourniquet” — the B-side of the single “Halo Flip,” released last month. Bringing to mind Daphni’s “Clavicle,” the song is a sonic lasso that expands and contracts. It was a glimmery sendoff to an exciting set. —Rachel Brody | @RachelCBrody

Vegyn - "Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds" (2019)

Can EDM be traditional and innovative at the same time?

Like a breath of fresh air mixed with undeniable comfort, Vegyn’s debut album Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds (2019) is a refreshing new addition to the British sample-based music continuum. The London-based artist's choppy rhythms carry Squarepusher's legacies, and his delicate melodies reunite the long-lost Burial fans around this unique musical entrance. With intrepid textures and innovative beats, Vegyn solidifies his place alongside other greats. No one else on the scene sounds as comfortably familiar and as completely fresh.

Through his accomplished fiddling with samples, Vegyn takes us on a refined aural odyssey. The intro song “Blue Verb” begins with magical bubbly glitches and a soft mutilated voice asking “What’s happening to me?” as the kaleidoscopic ambience is disturbed by a Memphis homage to Three 6 Mafia. “Cowboy ALLSTAR” surprises us with field-recorded noises as horse neighs and laughter push through the sharp amplified percussion and scratchy glitches reminiscent of Aphex Twin. Vegyn proves to us from the start that he masters the art of sampling – and he does it well.

The album is simultaneously soft and ambient but also texturally complex and full of funky collabs. While the raunchy JPEGMAFIA collab “Nauseous / Devilish” is a thrilling lyrical standout, the sombre sonic world of “Debold” and the subtle melodies of “Unknown, Forever Unknown” evoke beat-rambled feelings. Vegyn has learned to harness his creative energy as the endless flow of timeless ideas clears a unique sonic terrain. Whether it is the delicate string arrangements of “Thoughts Of Offing One” or the gritty Retro X hip-hop collab “You Owe Me”, the astounding variety of soundscapes and musical styles affirm Vegyn’s versatility and establish his relevance.

While being an eclectic shrine to the sample-based artists of the past, Vegyn will not be put in a box. The certain softness of his lyrics, for instance, complements his rough breaks in a manner that distinguishes his work from his predecessor and leaves us intrigued. “Don’t ever forget / Wherever you go / I’m always with you” float over the cloudless surface of “It’s Nice To Be Alive” and remind us of a collage of love while hospital sounds claim their place in the background. Perhaps it is precisely this inability to commit to a single soundscape that allows Vegyn to eloquently applaud his predecessors while launching himself to the top. At once forward-looking and conventional, Only Diamonds Cut Diamonds is an enticing experience that we simply can not wait to be continued.
