UPFRONTBEATS

A firm favourite with the Hot Creations camp, Jey Kurmis returns to the label with his ‘Jessycat EP’ – a dedication to his ‘love, family and friend’. Following on from acclaimed releases ‘Lil’ Nic French’, ‘Kari’ and ‘Not Too Flabbeh’ on the imprint, we see the talented producer remain at the top of his game.

The EP stays true to Jey’s trademark sound as he delivers three tracks to take the dancefloor through to the small hours. The EP opens with ‘Jessycat’, a bubbling tribal affair that implores you to move. An array of vocals bleed into the record taking you on a journey to outer space. A collaboration with Belgian production duo Nukov & Yelmet, ‘Fien’ takes a darker turn with a rumbling bass and intense vocals that state ‘my head spinning like a merry go’. The outer space sounds continue into closing track ‘Vanstone’, unfolding with a swinging bass and distorted stabs.

Part of the industry from more than a decade, Jey Kurmis has previously released on labels such as; Moon Harbour, Leftroom and Kaluki. Taking his DJ skills to new levels he has played the world’s hottest parties- from Sonar to BPM, and The Warehouse Project to DC10. The Leed’s based music maker has also commanded residencies at Do Not Sleep and Paradise.
