Almost 30 years ago in 1994 Jamie Odell released his 'Loxodrome' EP on legendary London label Jumpin & Pumpin, a release that has since gone onto receive a lot of love and attention and got reissued by Craigie Knowes sub-label Wormhole Wisdom back in 2020. Fast forward three decades and Jamie aka Jimpster has decided to dust off his Loxodrome cap, and now we're happy to present you with the fruits of his studio sessions in the form of 'The Drop Out' EP. The title track treads a much darker, more minimal path than we're used to hearing on his releases under the aliases of Jimpster or Franc Spangler. Aimed fairly and squarely at the dance floor, 'Drop Out' goes heavy on squelching, modular synth sequences which build around a stripped back jacking drum groove. Jamie's trusty Juno 106 gets dusted off to provide the chunky bassline and ominous pads which are interjected with a trippy vocal sample and white noise fills. 'Emberfall' follows in fine style with saturated 808 drums and 303 acid line taking center stage. Overall, an optimistic and uplifting atmosphere emits from the speakers, heightened by the Juno string chords, taking inspiration from classic 90's Italian Dream House. Flipping over we have a dub version of 'Emberfall' which loses the pads and stabs in favor of dub delays and extra snare fills for a more impactful and minimal acidic club workout.Closing out the EP things get lush as Jamie heads into deep, late night electro territory on 'Fornax A'. Memories of Black Dog and B12 are channeled through the layers of filtering synths and glitchy breakbeats and are inspired by his production approach and Atari ST running C-Lab Creator and Akai S900 - the tools at his disposal when producing his debut Loxodrome EP all those years ago.Tracklisting:A1.
