Jamie Trench – Still Need It (SM025)

Jamie Trench

Starting his journey at a very young age with a father being in night clubs all the time. Bringing home CD’s for his son from the night must have given him the music bug. Being influenced by artists like of Kerri Chandler, The Chemical Brothers, MJ Cole and various others his productions definitely are for the masses.

In 2012, not so long ago, Jamie started his very own record label Roots For Bloom. With a passion for and as a strong believer in, he finds that vinyl still needs and deserves a place in this digital world.

His debut in 2012 called ‘Range Of Motion‘ contains 11 undiscovered gems & quality cuts with his own signature style of house. A must listen for all you house fans.

‘Still need it’ EP

sinnmusik* continues to galvanise their catalogue and recall one of their favorite remixers – Jamie Trench – for his first full EP on the label. Hailing from Milton Keynes and with previous releases on Tsuba, Viva and his own label Roots For Bloom, Jamie’s latest offering is a package of funk-laden grooves backed up with remixes from Baldo, Bara Bröst, Hidden Spheres and Fewture & Freddie Glitch.

‘Still Need It’ kicks things off with frayed hats and rim shuffles sat atop a bumping kick and bass pattern. A classic vocal sample is niftily chopped and pitched before sinnmusik*’s very own mastering engineer Baldo weighs in and dims the lights on the original with his own sunken and moody revision.

New comer Hidden Spheres then follow up his release on Dirt Crew and offer up a scuzzy, lo-fi take on ‘Still Need It’ that wades in behind glowing keys and swooning vocals before Berlin based duo Bara Bröst bring us the first production from their newly equipped studio in the form of their buoyant, floor-ready remix that sets darting synth patterns over a thick and bendy bass pattern.

‘Who You Gonna Call’ then unfolds behind climbing horns and nifty funk samples that are sat atop a lethal bass pattern before Fewture & Freddie bring the release to a close with their stripped and sophisticated remix.
