As You Like It
About
Essex bred Lee Jones lived in London until 2002, where he was producing and remixing as the downtempo/ nu-jazz artist Hefner. After following his heart to Berlin, he was inspired by the music and clubs to move into a new production style and for the past 3 years he’s been the creative production force behind My My whose debut album ‘Songs For The Gentle’ made waves across the globe. 2008 will see a number of solo releases from Lee, he’s also planning to complete his second Hefner album and has begun work on a new album with Nick Höppner as My My. As You Like It: A crisp lead melody leads us by the hand into a full on old school Chicago stab fest. Lee’s typically intricate tom pattern nestles underneath the taught drums keeping the rhythm section bouncing along. Yes, it is indeed how we like it! Perhaps Lee’s most peak time record to date. Recloose Remix: A real summer treat come early from Recloose. The first remix he’s done in years and we feel proud to be the recipients. Matt reinterprets Lee’s stabs and adds his own p-funk infused live bassline and chords which totally change the vibe. In the the words of Jimpster…’A mutoid boogie rinse out’. Well put. The Ice Train Cometh: Shimmering pads are intertwined with snippets of a female vocal eq’ed to sound eerily icey. Only Lee could make this eighties bass sound feel so contemporary. Matthew Chicoine, aka Recloose, made his name signed to the fantastic Planet E label over the past decade. Having studied music at Ann Arbor and cut his teeth as a college DJ, Recloose went on to be a turntablist for Carl Craig’s Innerzone Orchestra, the esoteric Uri Caine Ensemble, globe-trotting far and wide to collect music influences. Recloose released his debut album ‘Cardiology’ in 2002 and then fell in love with New Zealand and relocated there. The burgeoning musical scene of Wellington has offered fresh inspiration to a mind already brimming with talent. Summer 2005 saw the release of Recloose’s second album and debut on Peacef
