The 163rd release on Suffused Music welcomes Jiminy Hop back to the label for his debut EP. The Russian artist last appeared on the Lithuanian imprint to begin the year with a remix of Ewan Rill's 'Tower'. Now returning for his third appearance Jiminy presents his much anticipated three track EP entitled 'Le Mans'.
The lush, melodic sounds of 'Squared' get the EP underway on a strong note. Preceded by a gorgeous intro, the piece picks up momentum with funky tones and electric synth lines. A classically styled groove makes it a lock for the dance floor with gyrating rhythms and pulsating beats leading the charge. The highlight though is perhaps a vocal storyboard, played out over a well crafted break, culminating in a massive drop with the spinning groove powering forward for a huge finale.
The EP's second selection 'Le Mans' finds Jiminy exploring the deeper side of his studio repertoire. Darker in tone at the outset, mesmerising lines bring a vibrancy as the piece builds with wispy pads and ethereal motifs moulding the emotive core. Vocal trails and meandering melodies lead nicely into the break where otherworldly soundscapes take you further into the cosmos. A delicate drop proves poignant and shows once again you don't need a sledgehammer to crack open an egg. Deep and wonderful music from Jiminy.
The release concludes with the mystical 'Memories Tunnel' which once again showcases Jiminy's progressive minded rhythms. Tough kicks, thick slabs of bass and a strong percussive complement provide the framework for a bevy of electronic delights. Sharp stabs and mystical atmospheres surround the framework before a timely break builds tension and a lone vocal wail summons the groove back for a stellar conclusion. Three incredible productions Jiminy and another great notch in the Suffused Music discography. Highly Recommended.
