In his 30th year of releasing music, Jimpster returns to Freerange with 'Bassic Rollers', a brand new four-track EP that reaffirms his status as one of UK house music's most enduring and inventive figures. This marks his first full release since the highly regarded EP 'The Phoenix' on the legendary Nu Groove imprint, and follows his recent accolade of being named Traxsource Top Artist of the Year, placing at an impressive #11.With 'Bassic Rollers', Jimpster once again distills decades of dancefloor knowledge into four deeply musical club weapons. Opening the release, 'Out And About' finds Jimpster firmly in his sweet spot. Deep, rolling and effortlessly musical, the track showcases his trademark sample chops, locked-in with punchy drums and a warm, hypnotic bassline. Inspired by his recent gigs in South Africa, it's a mesmerizing late-night roller built for heads-down dancefloors and long blends. 'Heads Down' nudges the BPMs upward for a slice of classic, hypnotic deep house with a distinctly UK slant. Drawing inspiration from late '90s club culture - the kind of grooves you might have heard on a Wednesday night at Kenny and Luke's influential Space nights at Bar Rhumba - the track channels the spirit and energy of pivotal outfits such as Fresh & Low or Soul Capsule. Tight, bouncing drums, shuffling hi-hats and sweeping synths combine for a driving, stripped back burner. Flipping to the B-side, 'Crispy Pancakes' takes a sharp turn into mutant disco territory. A crunchy kick, tight 808 hats and driving analog percussion form the backbone, while a looped live bass sample adds the raw energy. When the drop lands, the track dives deep with arpeggiated synth lines and unmistakable Underground Resistance-style pads, delivering an uplifting and euphoric moment primed for peak-time floors. Closing out the EP, 'Far Side' lowers the tempo for a sublime slice of deep disco house. Rich in samples, layered percussion and textured FX, it's a track designed for warm-ups, wind-downs, or those moments when the dancefloor drifts inward. Hypnotic and immersive, this is one to get lost in. Once again, Jimpster delivers deeply musical club music, effortlessly weaving together different sounds and influences. 'Bassic Rollers' is four tracks of sublime goodness - timeless, deep, and unmistakably crafted by a true master of the genre.Tracklisting:A1. Out And AboutA2. Heads DownB1. Crispy PancakesB2.
