Detroit’s musical spirit has always thrived on contradiction — soul meets machine, elegance crashes into grit — and “Yes, I Can,” the bold new single from producer JMT featuring Daniel Hex, dives right into that rich legacy with unapologetic flair.
Lifted from his forthcoming genre-melding album GHETTOTECHTROPOLIS, the track is a kaleidoscope of sound that blurs boundaries without losing the beat. JMT draws from the high-octane worlds of GhettoTech and Techno while layering in the smooth textures of classic R&B, crafting a track that feels like the pulse of a city in flux.
What begins as a slow-burning 125 BPM groove — built around Hex’s rich, honeyed vocals — transforms into a charged-up dancefloor missile. The production evolves in real time, with JMT cranking up the tempo and warping the energy into something that buzzes with sweat and desire. There’s a narrative here, too: a song that shifts its shape but stays rooted in emotion. The production is tactile, immersive — something you feel through your chest before it even hits your ears.
Crafted during a rainy afternoon in Heaven Studios, co-founded by Royce Da 5’9”, the song’s origin story brings a touch of poetry to the mix. There’s something cinematic about a track born under gray skies and reborn under neon light. You can almost hear the rain between the hi-hats, sense the storm breaking with each kick drum. JMT doesn’t just remix genres — he remixes moods.
Hex’s performance is the perfect foil for JMT’s sound design — restrained, soulful, and charged with quiet confidence. His voice glides above the chaos, grounding the track in humanity as the beat morphs and mutates. It’s a meeting of worlds, a friction that creates sparks rather than fractures.
“We wanted to make a GhettoTech track that felt like a classic R&B record, but with the new energy coming out of Detroit...and we did just that,” says JMT (Joshua Turner), reflecting on the creative vision behind the song.
With “Yes, I Can,” JMT doesn’t just celebrate the next wave of Detroit dance — he defines it. Raw, elegant, and defiantly inventive, this is a single that doesn’t just demand attention — it holds it hostage.
