YCCMPelski favourite Jesse Rose has been turning house music on its head since 1997, and lately he’s really hit big: 2007 saw him scoop up best British DJ award at DJmag’s Best of British awards, he now holds a residency at his monthly Made to Play night at Berlin’s Panorama Bar and reportedly tours the world for fifty-two weeks of the year. And I’m sure regulars have heard enough of me waxing lyrical about his album. Mr Rose hasn’t half been around the block either (in a strictly musical sense)- recording for ‘Classic’, ‘Get Physical’, ‘JBO‘, ‘Simple’; as well as his own ‘Made To Play’ and ‘Dubsided‘ labels.
He’s experimented with Chicago house and Detroit techno, helped forge ‘fidget’ (I’ve gone back to referring to fidget in inverted commas because its simply not cool anymore… apparently) and drawn on everything from jazz to 80s funk. Often sticking to minimal progressions and simple effects, Jesse Rose still manages to craft tunes that are immensely fun.
Towards the end of 2007 Underworld commissioned Jesse and Audiojack to remix ‘Holding The Moth’ from the new album. The single then wasn’t released as a single, so that the two remixes were hidden away. A couple of months the two remixes were granted their own official release. Pick up Audiojack’s mix here. Oscillating punches of fuzzy bass waver and wobble along to Underworld’s looped vocals in Rose’s rejigg. Breezy, bouncy stuff:
Look out for Jesse Rose’ incoming project with Samim, under the monicker Two Much Fun.
