UPFRONTBEATS

Jamie Jones and Lee Foss lastest venture Emerald City Music is really starting to kick off, the first release Serge Devant & Damiano’s ‘Fearing Love’ had huge support across the board, and the next single ‘One Time Game’ is going to be big and get the same treatment as well. Jamie Jones and Kate Simko are joined by Simko’s London Electronic Orchestra and Jem Cooke supplying the majestic vocals.

Kate Simko launched her London Electronic Orchestra project in 2014, and has been growing the project ever since with sold out concerts at the Britten Theatre, National Gallery, and opened the Apple iTunes Festival in 2014. The Orchestra features live instruments from harp, violins, cellos, and upright bass. The results are fantastic, bringing a live edge to ‘One Time Game’.

The vocals come from Jem Cooke is a singer-songwriter from London, recently signed to Sony ATV through Naughty Songs who has received huge support for her genre-­crossing sound from Radio 1, 1Xtra, KissFM, & Capital Xtra.

The track is self is emotional deep house jam, with that Jamie Jones flair intwined with in. The creepy but mysterious violin sounds add that infectious to ‘One Time Game’. The club mix is a more dance floor lead track with elements stripped back, and the drum loop given an extra tribal feel.

‘Since moving to London in 2012, I’ve seen Jamie pushing boundaries in an exciting way with Hot Natured and his own solo productions, and he knew I was composing film and orchestral music at the Royal College of Music,’ explains Kate. ‘The timing seemed perfect for us to collaborate, and I was beyond excited he suggested it. Releasing this on Jamie and Lee’s Emerald City is a natural fit, and I couldn’t be more grateful to team up with them, and get Jem Cooke and the LEO on board too.’ – Kate Simko

Jamie invited Kate to play at his Boiler Room in Ibiza last summer, where ‘One Time Game’ was first performed alongside a string quartet and harp. The track was finished in London at Jamie’s studio.
