Sitting in a darkened room in Dalston, London… the music pushes across a very nicely tuned sound system, (a la Cafe Oto). The crowd is captivated by this multi-instrumentalist maestro Jimi Tenor. He plays smoky sax, juxtaposes it with some crazy Moog, all the while underlaid by a funky electronic looping groove. It's a conversation piece! At the end, Jimi says "I'm not quite sure what to do with this track, or what to call it"….
In a moment of 'bravado' one shouts out in reply "Release Me!", the one who is releasing it now, for this is where the very long story starts… We'll spare you the other details, for now anyway, but it's how we managed to have the one and only Jimi Tenor to grace the fl.oz roster, one of the highlights of our celebration of 25 years of Fluid Ounce Records, with a very limited edition vinyl release for anyone who wants to enjoy and play out its full depth funk and flavour.
The track also inspired Special Guest - a new guise of Chris Vogado (zero dB) to create an off kilter remix that journeys through bruk and house, as well as a super dub version for the B side. (More to come from him.)
Watch this one blow up and big up Jimi!
