upcoming release: dérive #3

dérive 003 label sticker, image side

in feb. 2012 the fine dérive label will release it’s third 12″ with three deep and lovely tracks from björnski + a different jimi, achim maerz & tilman tausendfreund.

the sax solo on “9 to 5″, the track from björnski and me, is both my first sax recording and my first saxophone-track that has been released on vinyl yet.

 

“Dérive co-owner Björnski opens up with his first release „9 to 5“, a collaboration with his partner-in-crime A Different Jimi. Sharing a passion for deep house and jazz music, they produced this hypnotic eight minute track built around a jazzy piano loop that melts together with the bass line, surprising the listener with Jimi’s saxophone solo.”

it’s Jazz: Jim’s edits

Jim's Edit's #1

my copy of jim's edit's #1 is number 50 of 300

hi,
i recently have been asked to write the liner notes for a housy jazz-release titled “jim’s edits #1″ from a really odd label called “it’s jazz”. so i had the opportunity to hear that two jazzy house-tracks and immediately i’d like to recommand it, because i love the tunes and i’m going to play this cool shit whenever i’ll be djing. no diggity.
pre-saling is starting inofficially tomorrow, thurday, nov-10 at smallville records, hamburg and officially on tuesday, nov-15 at your favourite vinyl store.
since the artist’s name seems to be “jim” too, i must put something straight: i am not the artist who has done these edits – it’s obviously a different jimi.
