A few good times in my life
At the end of August Brazilian DJ Eduardo Ramos, the brainchild behind his project Pandit Pam Pam, released Pass A Wish including a remix by Jezebell. Jesse Fahnestock took the Brazilian vibe and added organs and a hypnotic and mystery groove to this song. Sounds a bit like African tribes but it works very well.
Last week Jezebell, the stage name of American DJ and producer Jesse Fahnestock, released a re-work of his song Dancing (Not Fighting) to celebrate the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. It is a drum-computer developed around 1980 in Japan. The TR-808 is mostly used in the electronic dance music which made it possible to produce very powerful sounds in the bass range. It is also possible to add bassdrums, hi-hats, snares and handclaps to a song. This all is shown at this rework and it is another example of Jezebell's feelings for great songs. Sometimes the vocals reminds me of Snap and I Got The Power but this no blemish.
It is spring and it seems a lot of bands are going to release new stuff. So did Jezebell/Jesse Fahnestock who released Jezebellearic Beats Vol. 1 a 20 track compilation and as the title suggest there are variations of Balearic music. The ones I heard were all great in their way worth to give them a listen.
Another new release I got aware last week was the Hyena Hopscotch Remixes a remix project of an album London based DJ and producer Pete Bones released earlier this year. The original album was hybrid of industrial funk with a massive pop feeling and psychedelic elements. Now the re-work of this album is made by today's most talented DJ's like Duncan Gray, Justin Robertson and Jezebell. This album will be released next week and will reach probably in my years end list.
A few days ago I found this song by Jezebell. I don't know were they are because my investigations in the internet weren't successful. It was released last autumn and mastered by Rich Lane at Cotton Bud. And Jesse Fahnestock is also involved in this production. Nothing more or less than a very fine acid house and balearic inspired chugging piece of music to start into the last working day of the week.
