Jane Remover – “Status Update Music” review

Here is the 7th mixtape from Newark, New Jersey musician Jane Remover. Aside from the 3 full-lengths under deadAir Records including Frailty as well as Census Designated & most notably Revengeseekerz, they have also released the Ghostholding mixtape on the label & 4 tapes pioneering the Dariacore sound. Coming off the Indie Rock mixtape last summer & Young Dabo’s sickeningly transphobic “Bleed” diss towards them however, Jane’s back to give the world some Status Update Music.

“If You Think I’m a Bitch, You Should Meet Jane Remover” blends Dariacore, hybrid trap, industrial hip hop, deconstructed club, xtra raw, jerk & complextro for an energetic intro mentioning underscores whereas “XO Tour Llif3” experiments with hyperphonics, speed house, electro house, hybrid trap, electro house, future bass & complextro to distinguish itself from Lil Uzi Vert’s biggest hit.

Brostep, Dariacore, rawstyle, EDM glitch hop, complextro & hardstyle all collide on the emotional “I Did This for Us” single while “…Like Watching a Zombie Turn” would debatably be amongst my top 3 tracks here due to the way future bass, changa tuki, UK hard house, brostep, psystyle & power soca are all mixed with hyperflip. “Crowdkilling 101” on the other hand explores bass house, electro-industrial, hard techno, complextro, speed house & French electro whilst maintaining the hyperphonics elements.

“Nothing Lasts Forever (Every Detail U Have Ever Told Me)” was a too 5 moment personally expanding beyond Dariacore in favor of rawstyle, speed house, hybrid trap, bubblegum bass, complextro, future riddim, festival progressive house, alternative rock & bass house while the manically dense “Chase This Feeling” bringing secondary influences of hyperflip, future bass, speed house, bubblegum bass, changa tuki, hard trance, rawphoric & rawstyle to the table.

Dariacore, deconstructed club, complextro, changa tuki, electro, nu skool breaks & bass house each have their own distinctive presence throughout “#BoyLetMeKnow” kick off the 2nd half of Status Update Music while “The Summer I Pretty” comes through with a mechanical melting pot of bass house, industrial techno, hyperflip, deconstructed club, complextro, Detroit techno, electro-industrial, hard techno, French electro, bass house & tearout.

“Right Nowww (Tear Me Apart)” would be my 2nd favorite song on the tape maximally meshing Dariacore, happy hardcore, hard trance, freeform hardcore, speedcore, buchiage trance, UK hardcore, hyper techno, psytrance, nightcore, midtempo bass, hardtek & bouncy techno while “L.A.M.B. (Love.Angel.Music.Baby.)” bears it’s name after Gwen Stefani’s timeless solo debut despite being stylistically rooted in brostep, hyperphonics, rawstyle, tearout brostep & hybrid trap.

The rhythmically buzzy “I Belong to Nobody (But Tonight I’m Yours)” keeps pushing boundaries of Dariacore drawing further inspiration from neoperreo, deconstructed club, digicore, lento violento, snap, jerk, trap, xtra raw & rawstyle prior to “Get Ugly” containing it’s individual sections varying between French electro, electro-industrial, hyperflip, drumline, industrial metal, ballroom, Jersey club, deconstructed club, neoperreo, midtempo bass & rawstyle.

“In Every Lifetime (Together Like This)” nears closer towards Status Update Music’s conclusion with a melodically polyrhythmic bass house, Dariacore, alternative R&B, hard techno, bubblegum bass, indietronica & speed house while the outro “Summer Fling” ends in the form of this perfect dance-pop, contemporary r&b, funky house, Baltimore club, akishibu-kei & 2-step anthem in time for next month.

Most would say Dariacore 2: Enter Here, Hell to the Left is the best thing Jane Remover had done under the leroy moniker, but Status Update Music surpasses it 5 years later. Their production nearly perfects the Dariacore subgenre of hyperpop & EDM microgenre Jane created eclectically mixing it with hints of hard dance, hybrid trap, industrial hip hop, deconstructed club, xtra raw, jerk, complextro, speed house, electro house, future bass, rawstyle, EDM glitch hop, hardstyle, changa tuki, UK hard house, brostep, psystyle, power soca, bass house, electro-industrial, hard techno, French electro, bubblegum bass, future riddim, festival progressive house, alternative rock, hard trance, rawphoric, nu skool breaks, industrial techno, Detroit techno, tearout, happy hardcore, freeform hardcore, speedcore, buchiage trance, UK hardcore, hyper techno, psytrance, nightcore, midtempo bass, hardtek, bouncy techno, tearout brostep, neoperreo, digicore, lento violento, snap, trap, drumline, industrial metal, ballroom, Jersey club, midtempo bass, bass house, alternative R&B, indietronica, dance-pop, contemporary R&B, funky house, Baltimore club, akishibu-kei & 2-step.

Score: 4.5/5

Jane Remover – “♡” review

This is the 5th EP from Newark, New Jersey musician Jane Remover. Known for pioneering the Dariacore microgenre, they made their breakout debut in the fall of 2021 with Frailty under deadAir Records & it wasn’t until exactly 24 months later when former BROCKHAMPTON leader Kevin Abstract called Jane Remover’s sophomore effort Census Designated his favorite album of that year where I personally got introduced to their music. Revengeseekerz came out in April to widespread acclaim, returning 8 months later with ♡.

“Magic I Want U” begins with an alternative R&B, glitch pop, breakbeat, Atlanta bass, alternative rock & digital cumbia loving the way this guy uses his hands & words whereas “So What?” was notably sampled throughout “All4U”, which was the stunning closer off Danny Brown’s latest album Stardust last month additionally interpolating their own singles “JRJRJR” & “Turn Up or Die” respectively.

To finish the 1st half, “Music Baby” contains probably the most repetitive songwriting structure throughout the entire extended play giving a fuck less of what people think of them while “Flash on the Pan” blends alternative R&B, emo rap, sexy drill, indie rock, shoegaze & dream pop basically remixing a cover they did of one of my personal favorite Britney Spears tracks “Hold It Against Me” back when I was in my final year of middle school.

“How to Teleport” starts the final moments of ♡ with an extended version of a digital cumbia b-side to “Magic I Want U” pleading to not be awoken from this dream they’re experiencing because they can’t fall back in the fountain of youth again while the closer “Dream Sequence” & the b-side to “Flash in the Pan” covers “Aberdeen Dream Sequence”, which is widely considered to be the greatest slacker rock/slowcore singles that Jane Remover has ever made under the venturing moniker.

Serving as a prelude to their upcoming 4th album post world diary in 2027, Jane Remover compiles a brand new EP consisting of 3 covers & 3 newly recorded songs focusing more around alternative R&B as well as glitch pop & alt-pop as opposed to Revengeseekerz’ heavy digicore/EDM sound earlier this spring even if some of the material predates Jane’s biggest high in their career yet. The secondary influences within the production get shaken up in favor of alternative rock, breakbeat, sexy drill, east coast club, Atlanta bass, digital cumbia, emo rap, shoegaze & dream pop teasing another exciting artistic reinvention.

Score: 4.5/5

Jane Remover – “Revengeseekerz” review

Jane Remover is a 21 year old musician from Newark, New Jersey known for pioneering the Dariacore microgenre. They made their breakout debut in the fall of 2021 with Frailty under deadAir Records & it wasn’t until exactly 24 months later when former BROCKHAMPTON leader Kevin Abstract called Jane Remover’s sophomore effort Census Designated his favorite album of that year where I personally got introduced to their music. Continuing the bi-yearly release cycle, their 3rd album has finally arrived after high anticipation.

“Twice Removed” begins with this digicore intro explaining that 2022 feels like a million years ago to them by now & shit getting old to them so quickly whereas the EDM-driven “Psychoboost” featuring Danny Brown finds the 2 talking about both of them feeling as if they’re a part of each other. “Star People” blends hyperpop & trap so they can ask if you’re either their bestie or their enemy prior to the chaotically noisy “Experimental Skin” talking about seeing no evil.

Moving on from there, “angels in camo” returns for more of a digicore vibe trading names with demons & refusing to let the creeps win just before “Dreamflasher” takes the sound of the previous cut & meshing it with EDM asking God to save them since they’re so turnt at the current moment. “Turn Up or Die” brings a glitchier flare to the table giving this bitch a proper sendoff by blowing his head off while “Dancing with Your Eyes Closed” perfectly showcases fusing hyperpop, electropop, digicore, bass house, future bass, electro hop, electroclash, Dariacore & rage influences.

“Fadeoutz” talks about feeling the same affection the standard popstar receives & likening fast love to fast drugs while “Professional Vengeance” balances digicore & pop punk returning from California with a bag 10x the price of what they were sold. “Dark Night Castle” admits to feeling like they don’t deserve the business prior to the outstanding digicore, rage, experimental hip hop, industrial hip hop, dark plugg & emo rap closer “JRJRJR”.

There are artists in the digicore scene I’ve given props to like Bear1boss or che & Polo Perks no question, except Jane Remover reclaims the sound that made them popular on the occasion of presenting the most flawless listening experience I’ve had in 2025 as of right now & a landmark in that style. The glitchcore aesthetics get uniquely branched out to the likes of experimental hip hop, electronic dance music, rage, hyperpop, hard dance, bass house, industrial hip hop, hardcore EDM, dark plugg, emo rap, electropop, future bass, electro hop, electroclash & of course Dariacore seamlessly.

Score: 5/5

Jane Remover – “Ghostholding” review

Newark, New Jersey musician Jane Remover preluding their upcoming 3rd studio LP Revengeseekerz with their 5th mixtape. Aside from the 2 full-lengths under deadAir Records including Frailty & Census Designated, they’ve also released the Dariacore trilogy of mixtapes pioneering the EDM microgenre & hyperpop subgenre & the Grave Robbing tape. To coincide with Valentine’s Day however, Jane’s making a stylistic detour with Ghostholding & having deadAir help him get it out there.

“Play My Guitar” begins with this indie rock/emo opener singing about their struggles with stardom & enduring the pain of a strained relationship whereas “No Sleep” describes the feeling of experiencing insomnia due to the love Jane has for their lover. “Believe” comes through with some Christian imagery bringing some shoegaze undertones into the picture leading into “Guesthouse” interpolating “Good Days” by SZA to sing about a toxic relationship.

Meanwhile on “Spider”, we have Jane likening the love they have for this person to 1,000 waves & him crashing like those 1,000 waves just before “Recoil” shifts towards a Midwest emo vibe instrumentally assuring their partner that they’re not insane. “Something Has to Change” asks for God to save them merely because Jane wants to party & the inclusion of a “Recoil” callback while “Dead Forever” made for a stellar shoegaze, noise pop, post-grunge, slacker rock, dream pop & power pop single.

“We Don’t Exist” sings about Jane being the type to rewrite history & responding to people calling her a psychopath by asking who’re them for knowing that specific information while “Sick (Relapse)” opens up regarding their troubles regarding Jane finding happiness between alcohol & intimacy. “Famous Girl” on the other hand blends Indie rock, dream pop, art rock, midwest emo, slacker rock, math pop, neo-psychedelia, post-rock & noise pop for a confession that they never thought they’d be this prolific.

The penultimate song “Halloween” fuses shoegaze, slowcore, noise rock, dream pop, alternative metal, slacker rock & emo to directly tackles the themes of hesitation & reluctance on Census Designated while the closer “Sister” ends Ghostholding combines slacker rock, slowcore, dream pop, singer-songwriter & shoegaze singing about the only person who’s supportive of their alcohol addiction. That said: I do think “In the Dark” makes for a sentimentally envious indie rock, dream pop, slacker rock, bedroom pop, contemporary R&B & slowcore bonus track.

Ghostholding if anything feels like a continuation of the Arizona extended play back in 2023 & I mean considering how much of a refinement it is of the slacker rock direction Jane Remover went for on it except there’s a more predominantly indie rock influence this time around & the slacker rock characteristics are used to a lesser extent. Jane’s production additionally explores dream pop, emo, noise pop, shoegaze, slowcore & singer/songwriter for deep dive into their longtime obsession with long roads & empty spaces.

Score: 4.5/5
