Producer, DJ, and songwriter Jeff Eveline has built a reputation for pushing boundaries — blending gritty, vintage textures with modern production techniques, and weaving psychedelic, processed vocals into raw, genre-defying tracks.

His sound is as much about atmosphere as it is about rhythm, with heavily treated vocals functioning like instruments in the mix, creating a dreamlike haze over beats that borrow from hip-hop, electronic, rock, and ambient influences. Known for his introspective yet abstract lyrical style, Eveline often crafts lines that can feel direct but hide deeper, symbolic meanings, inviting listeners into a layered, immersive experience.
With ‘They On Blur’, his latest EP and debut on Yulia Niko’s AXEPT label, Eveline teams up with Georgiaxx for a hypnotic title track, backed by the B-side ‘DSTROY’ featuring Chase Farley, plus a remix from Kurt. The release took nearly two years to find its moment, and its final form reflects a careful balance of club-focused energy, pop sensibility, and experimental edge.
In this interview, Eveline talks about the two-year journey behind the title track, the cryptic creative vision driving his work, and the challenges of staying authentic in today’s fast-moving music landscape.
EG: Hi, Jeff! Welcome to EG. It’s a pleasure to have you here with us. How are you doing?
Jeff Eveline: I’m doing great, thanks! Been on the move a lot these past couple weeks—playing shows and leading sessions. Summer’s been crazy hot!
EG: First of all, congratulations on the release of your new EP, ‘They On Blur’! You must be stoked to have this one out. What are some of your initial feelings? What has the reception been like? Do you remember the first time you played these cuts live?
Jeff Eveline: For a producer, every time you drop new music, it’s like giving birth to a kid! What people hear is just the tip of the iceberg, and you’re hyped ‘cause deep down you know all that blood, sweat, and grind really paid off.
‘They On Blur’ had a long-ass journey before it finally saw the light of day. Me and Georgia recorded it almost two years ago, since then I’d been hunting for the right moment to drop it ‘cause it’s one of those tracks that really pushes boundaries.
It blends melodic techno harmonies, a super distorted arpeggiator, and these catchy pop vocals. And shoutout to my guy Kurt — his remix took it to another level! That last remix really elevated the whole EP to top-tier status. I was hyped he jumped on board as soon as we hit him up.
Also, the support’s been unreal — superstars like Adriatique, Themba, Paco Osuna, and Moullinex have been spinning it around the globe. I’m hella grateful to all of them for showing love.
As for me, I’ve been playing the full EP for months now. Honestly, I don’t even remember the first time I loaded it up on my laptop and hit play, but I do remember how wild the crowd went every time that arp kicks in after the drop. People even trying to Shazam it mid-set — that’s how you know it’s hitting!
EG: ‘They On Blur’ is a rather unique title. How did it come about?
Jeff Eveline: I feel like artists give the most when the meaning and the final product aren’t immediately clear. Dropping subtle hints or cryptic messages keeps your audience — and anyone trying to tap into your vision — curious and engaged. It makes people want to dive deeper into who you are and what you’re building.
‘They On Blur’ really leans into that. It’s about presenting your art in a way that keeps people off-balance — not fully sure what’s going on or what’s coming next.
When Georgia and I worked on the vocals, I told her to go full psychedelic with it — like she was caught in a voodoo hallucination. And she nailed it. She got so deep in the process, looping that hook over and over like she was in a trance. You can really feel that energy — it leaves you dazed, a little shaken up.
That’s what crafting art is to me — creating something that lingers, that pulls people into your world without giving it all away.
EG: And what can your fans expect to find on this new record?
Jeff Eveline: I just want people to let their bodies and minds flow with the groove and the lyrics — to fully lose themselves in the moment. Like, for the length of the track, I want your essence to drift somewhere else… to another level.
Overthinking kills the vibe. Being too rational can block the magic. But when you tap into that transcendent state — when you really surrender to the sound — that’s when you open up to a much wider spectrum of feeling and meaning.
I wrote the lyrics from a woman’s perspective, too — because the feminine energy is a core part of my creative process. The woman is a muse in what I make, always has been. She holds mystery, power, softness, chaos — all of it. That’s the spirit I try to channel in my music.

EG: By the way, the lead cut ‘They On Blur’ finds you linking up with Georgiaxx. How did the connection come about? What was the collaborative process like?
Jeff Eveline: Georgia’s a super talented singer and songwriter from Pittsburgh, PA. We linked up through a mutual friend and started spending hours in the studio, working on new music and building out vocal ideas.
One day I laid down this beat and concept, and right away I knew she was the one to bring it to life. Her voice gave the track that mainstream pop edge while still keeping it in that niche, underground lane sonically — the perfect balance.
I’m really hyped to be working with her, and we’ve got more heat coming. We’ll be dropping new tracks together under my label COBRET, starting early next year.
EG: And this record is a big one for you, as it signals your debut on Yulia Niko’s AXEPT imprint. Why did you feel like AXEPT was the perfect home for this one? Did you have a prior relationship with Yulia?
Jeff Eveline: This release is definitely a big milestone in my career as a producer — especially with me diving deeper into dance and club vibes. I’m also producing American alternative hip-hop and pop, and I love keeping those two sides alive. Blending both worlds is what gives my sound that unique flavor — something that doesn’t sit in one box.
I’ve been following Yulia’s music journey for a couple years now, and I’ve always been a huge fan of her eclectic style. I first hit her up maybe two years ago — sent her a bunch of tracks, and she hit me back saying she was vibing heavy with the sound, like she’d play all of them. But the timing wasn’t right yet.
Then when I wrapped up ‘They On Blur’, I saw an interview where she talked about launching AXEPT, and it just clicked. I sent her the track, and two hours later she replied saying she wanted to sign it — and asked if I had more to turn it into a full EP.
I called up Chase Farley, cooked up ‘DSTROY’ in less than a week, and sent it to Yulia. She loved it. Then Kurt came through with his remix of the main track, and that sealed it. Without her vision, this EP wouldn’t have hit the way it did.
EG: What would be the perfect setting to listen to ‘They On Blur’? What would you like listeners to take away from the experience?
Jeff Eveline: This track is really made for the dancefloor. It’s built to get bodies moving, hearts racing, and the whole room locked into one vibe. I made it to make people sweat, scream, and dance like they’ve got nothing else on their mind.
My dream is for people to keep dancing to this track ‘til the very end — like, not stopping until they’ve got no breath left. That’s the ride I want — one you remember forever.
EG: Given your experience, what are some of the biggest challenges artists will face in the near future?
Jeff Eveline: The real issue now is how we have to move just to get our music seen. Social media and streaming platforms run the game, even though most weren’t built by people from the music world — yet they shape how we create.
I hate having to adapt just because it’s the only way to get noticed. But I’m out here trying to reinvent the product while keeping it true to me — not falling into the copy-paste trap.
Too much music means a flood of bullshit. If you’re not careful, your work falls into the void. Now, more than ever, you’ve got to be stronger, more focused, more resilient. Talent counts, but so does persistence. Never quit — that’s the realest thing I can say.

EG: What’s next for Jeff Eveline? What milestones are you looking forward to now? Where can your fans catch you next? Any tours planned?
Jeff Eveline: I’m dropping a lot of new music this year under COBRET with my crew, plus a follow-up EP for ICONYC/W. Me, Squarehead, and Georgia just finished our first sample pack, and I’m also part of ALPHA, the new project from Sam Paganini, writing all the toplines and vocal melodies.
Big things loading — my laptop’s overflowing with beats right now.
EG: Thank you so much for your time, Jeff! We wish you all the best in the future. Take care!
Jeff Eveline: Appreciate you! Thanks for letting me share what’s going on and giving me the space to shine. Catch you around — be safe!
