Jimpster - Soul Spectral EP

Astonishingly, a quarter of a century has now passed since Jamie ‘Jimpster’ Odell delivered his debut single, Martian Arts. While his sonic style has gradually evolved in the years since, his ability to craft warm, rich, emotive and sonically detailed music remains as strong as ever. That much is proved by ‘Soul Spectrum’, a sumptuous slab of organic deep house in which Odell’s melancholic keys and Greg Paulus’ similarly bittersweet trumpet lines ride above a percussion-rich groove. It’s available in a slightly more stripped-back, effects-laden Dub Mix form, too, for those looking for added energy and heaps more hand percussion. Elsewhere, ‘Sanguine’ is a slightly more driving deep house number rich in colourful synth sounds and fluid piano lines, and ‘Think of You Always’ is ultra-deep and jazzy (think Boulevard-era Saint Germain, and you’re close).
