Acid Jazz | electronic rumors

Ali Jamieson is getting set to present his new EP to the world. Having been snapped up by Keenhouse’s Sunlinxx imprint, Jaimeson is soon to release his first offering for them, Pending is due out later this month and it;s left-field jazzy Disco is a good fit for the label. Ali’s kinda’ been a slow burning surprise to everyone, better known has Heavy disco label boss and La Bombe PR guru, he;s been quietly developing his sound as a producer, releasing EPs to little fanfare and subtly ended up one of the most interesting producers working today, this new single proves that.

The release’s lead track, Pending, is a luscious mix of gritty Disco and smooth Acid Jazz. Complimented by a heavy synthetic bassline, the track counterpoints dirty, distorted synths with a laid back, vintage, electric piano line. An ecclectic mix of shuffling machine beats and funk fuelled riffs, Pending is both pleasing to the ear and infectiously groovy. It’s B-Side, In Light Of, takes a more chilled approach. But don;t let that put you off, it’s Sci-Fi LA-Funk-from-the-future style chilled. With a touch of Chicago about it, if DâM-FunK made House records in space they would sound like this. As the track progresses it become more involved, as Ali plays with more levels of melody and intricacy while keeping it, at all times, smooth as hell. French Disco master Douze’ provides a reMix of Pending, bringing his brand of huge Nu-Disco to the track, while respecting the originals flow with a bass heavy groove and moody chords. This is an excellent release from Mr. Jaimeson which is gonna’ make a lot of people sit up and take notice.
