Here’s something to set the pulse racing: a surprise joint EP from experienced Finnish producers Jimi Tenor (still best-known for his eccentric lounge-jazz escapades on Warp) and Klas-Henrik Lindblad (AKA Sasse and, here, Freestyle Man). Tenor’s drowsy and distinctive vocals – as well as his fuzzy old synthesizer melodies – come to the fore on the first two tracks, with dusty deep house opener “Power of Love” impressing slightly more than the tongue-in-cheek “Pyjama Party” (which, incidentally, reminded us of Tenor’s late ’90s material). Elsewhere, Lindblad’s love of Metro Area style nu-disco is explored on “Turku Airport”, while “Temple of Music” sees jazz-man Tenor layering solos over a slick and sumptuous deep house groove.
