Hυɱαɳ Eɾɾσɾ CʅυႦ (Los Angeles, CA)
Human Error Club is the trio of virtuosic LA jazz players Diego Gaeta, Jesse Justice, and Mekala Session. Together and apart they have performed with folks like Andre 3000, the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, and Pink Siifu while continuing to hone their wild improv-minded compositions.
Their latest album HUMAN ERROR CLUB AT KENNY’S HOUSE was made in collaboration with celebrated hip-hop producer Kenny Segal.
Their favored self-description is as follows: “It’s free jazz but not the free jazz that you’re thinking of.”
@isef_usef 's 2022 opus "consistency" is an seamless masterclass in progressive R&B by way of the bassoon; it is funky, smooth, and infectious. Yousef's voice is sweet and expressive, but distant. With it, he tells stories of loneliness, broken bonds, and bittersweet goodbyes.
@sigmundwashington has blessed us with a short film for the song "it's temporary" made entirely in stop-motion with construction paper. video up on youtube, vinyl is in-hand and shipping now, all links in bio!
it's temporary composed by i-sef u-sef
animated and directed by Sigmund Washington
I-sef u-sef’s Consistency is available on vinyl! First released in 2022 on limited silver cassette tapes, and now pressed on green vinyl, available through bandcamp and distributers worldwide.
An opus of bassoon R&B, Yousef’s voice weaves longing and introspection effortlessly through the sequenced tracks.

A new project from @jesse__justice “In Turn” is out today. “In Turn” unfolds as a set of electronic compositions that resist easy categorization. Justice bends modular synthesis into unexpected shapes, crafting songs that fall in-between genres: electronic but not club-oriented, intricate without leaning on jazz tropes, and melodic without settling into ambient drift.
The project features collaborations with some of Los Angeles’ most powerful voices: @pinksiifu and @blqlyte appear on “Angel,” a cosmic rap track (featured here); @sharadalatika lends her voice to “Rushing,” layering crystalline melodies over shifting pulses; and @quranshaheed brings her vocal presence to “Nothing at All.” The remaining tracks reveal Justice’s own approach to instrumental storytelling, highlighting the textures and possibilities of sound design.
Cassettes are available for pre order now!

JULY 5TH 2025
Pulled this together last minute around wanting to connect dope friend in town from Chengdu, China @jolene_wu to the LA music scene and accidentally ended up with one of the sickest lineups of the year so far
Stacked up with all legends, I’d show up on time to catch every set cause none are to be missed;
I’d also stay late cause have some pretty cool secret guest friends coming in to dj an afters vibe
Thanks @leavingrecords for last minute needing a show to host @deantoniparks to take this already insane lineup over the edge
Also 🤫 I hear the loved ones @mobius_acoustics system is being utilized for a hi-fi experience that’s the cherry on top of what’s already looking to be an crazy night
