 With 15 years of DJing and production behind him and over 100 releases on his Freerange label, now seems an apt moment to release a collection of some of the best of Jimpster’s remixes from the last four years. Jimpster, aka Jamie Odell, is one of the key figures pushing forward the deeper sound of house, proving that it needs to be neither fast nor brash to induce that uncontrollable sense of musical intoxication that makes your heart sing and your feet bounce. Opening with the cosmic disco of Tam Cooper’s ‘Galactica’, Disk One builds up through the rousing pianos of Joris Voorn’s ‘The Deep’, the urgent strings of Kiko Navarro’s ‘Siempre’, and the beguiling US influenced grooves of Delano Smith’s ‘Message For The DJ’, before the blissed-out, halcyon tones of Iz & Diz’s ‘Love Vibe’ kick in.
Jimpster’s haunting mix of Justin Martin’s ‘The Sad Piano’ breaks your heart like your first girlfriend, before Akabu’s ‘I’m Not Afraid Of The Future’ picks you up, dusts you down, and gets you on your dancing feet again. Other artists getting the Jimpster treatment here include the excellent Motorcitysoul, Solomun, ! Kurd Maverick, Lo:Rise and Carlos Gibbs & Mike Acetate. Disk Two will keep the DJs happy, providing an almost identical track listing but in a useful unmixed format. |
