As DJ and producer Nosaj Thing, Los Angeles born and raised Jason W. Chung has been actively releasing music and performing for 15 years. He started his career in the early 2000s at LA's DIY venue The Smell, and has since gone on to open for renowned artists such as The xx and The Weeknd. With a talent for producing tracks, Nosaj Thing has worked with notable musicians like Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi, and Chance The Rapper. His remixes of artists including Philip Glass, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Flying Lotus showcase his diverse range of influences.

However, it is through his EPs and albums that Nosaj Thing truly shines. His discography includes 'Views / Octopus' EP (2006), 'Drift' (2009), 'Home' (2013), 'Fated' (2015), 'No Reality EP' (2016), 'Parallels' (2017) and 'No Mind' (2020). These releases transcend genres to create an otherworldly and evocative body of work.

If you enjoy artists like Shlohmo, Teebs, or Flying Lotus, then you'll definitely appreciate the unique soundscapes created by Nosaj Thing. His music pushes the boundaries of experimental music while remaining captivating and robust.

Parallels is the fourth full album released under Jason Chung’s distinctive moniker, Nosaj Thing. Masterfully dimensional, Parallels represents the acclaimed Los Angeles-based electronic producer / composer / performer’s most diverse, vital work yet. As such, Chung sees Parallels represents a kind of redemptive rebirth. The album’s compellingly elusive, uncategorizable sonics developed out of what he terms a personal and musical “identity crisis.” According to Chung, working with a group of collaborators on Parallels that combined both longtime friends and new creative partners added “new energy which pushed me not to limit myself. Everything felt fresh and alive.” Chung is known specifically for his innovative, unexpected musical pairings: Kid Cudi hit up on Nosaj Thing via his MySpace page in 2006, resulting in Chung producing Cudi’s autobiographical classic The Man on the Moon. Kendrick Lamar flowed over Nosaj’s ethereal boom bap to create the YouTube gem Cloud 10; Chance the Rapper, meanwhile, freaked a Nosaj beat for his 2013 breakout masterpiece Paranoia and appeared on Nosaj Thing’s previous LP, 2015’s Fated. Chung and Blonde Redhead vocalist Kazu Makino are also longtime creative partners on each other’s work; her voice appears on Parallels as an otherworldly spirit animating the icily ‘80s-synthetic How We Do.
