A leading figure of the contemporary electronic world, Jamie Odell aka Jimpster sets his sights firmly back on the album format with this beautifully crafted long-player, Silent Stars. A self-confessed creature of the night, the Freerange Records and Delusions Of Grandeur boss taps into his nocturnal and escapist impulses to deliver a superbly executed modern-day fusion album. His seventh studio album and first since 2013Õs highly-acclaimed Porchlight And Rocking Chairs, this is an album dedicated to the nocturnal hours. Silent Stars is a richly textured ride through the tapestry of house, from jazz-infused opener ÔMigrationsÕ through to the dense, orchestral euphoria of ÔTau TonaÕ and the minimal, percussive bounce of title track ÔSilent StarsÕ. The listener edges a touch closer to the dancefloor on tracks like ÔYansaÕ and ÔPower of the DoofÕ - yet the grooves stay subtle with intricate percussion, dense sound design and a mischievous streak being palpable throughout. A range of guests are welcomed by Jimpster across Silent Stars. Hotly-tipped Londoner Florence Rawlings adds her vocals on ÔCraveÕ and ÔEverytimeÕ. Past collaborator and member of Kirk DegiorgioÕs The Beauty Room, Jinadu weaves emotional soul on album centerpiece ÔThe Sun Comes UpÕ. Khalil Anthony lends his vocals on ÔWhere You AreÕ and leading session drummer Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, Chase & Status, The Bays) lays down his immense beats on ÔTau TonaÕ. Jimpster is a true veteran of the global house scene, a custodian of the authentic deep house sound and a producer who has quietly created some of the most reflective and sophisticated electronic music
