UPFRONTBEATS

Fresh from blowing our minds on Great Stuff, the unstoppable Jil Tanner touches down on MOOD for the first time with ‘Ravenergy’.

Two tracks, two slinky, rolling hypnotic grooves: Jil’s understated tech house elan is showcased beautifully as she takes us on two very different types of journey. ‘Ravenergy’ is all about the warm-up. That subtle, undulating vibe and how it opens out into a wider, warmer groove mid-way. Loaded with her purring spoken word that revels in that shared mindset we all have at those perfect moments of dancefloor abandonment, there’s a slight trace of jazz in all aspects of the delivery here.

‘Flames In Me’ isn’t quite so delicate about its message. Euphoric, emotion-led and laced with a lavish star-bound riff, this one smoulders with a synthy epicity that’s ideal for show-stopping intros, tear-jerking outros or vibe-changing mid-set moments.

Jil Tanner’s ‘Ravenergy’ EP is set for release this May on Nicole Moudaber’s Mood Records.
