The second release from Jamez's revered Dreamchasing album, 'Energy Of Life' is easily one of the stand-out tracks. A driving house epic with a unique male vocal makes this one of the most distinctive tracks you'll hear all summer.
Jamez was famously part of a Dutch triumvirate – the other 2 being DJ Zki and Dobre – that helped transform European house music in the early 90's. With a reputation that precedes him, Jamez has produced more records than most of us have had hot dinners. Having produced under a variety of monikers such as Trancesetters, the splendidly named Tata Box Inhibitors, P.I.M.P, Loophole, Amfibian and Mindfunk his wealth of experience is glaringly obvious in everything he produces.. His involvement and close relationship with Touché Records earned him his reputation for eclectic productions. Jamez is a culmination of all these previous guises.
With this second single Jamez has produced an infectious and memorable track that grows on you with each listen. The original boasts the ethereal vocal delivery of the splendidly-named Sir Jon of Lemonsoul and Future Groove deliver a superb duo of remixes. Samuel L Sessions delivers a deranged techno version with an underlying nightmare quality that could twist many heads on the dancefloor. Having completely fucked with the vocals this version is haunting and disturbing but will have the darkest dancefloors intoxicated by its peak time weirdness.
Humate deliver a dreamier driving dancefloor epic blending Sir Jon's vocal into a more blissed out version that races along and delivers a sublime tranced out euphoric breakdown. This will be blasting out across dancefloors everywhere this summer. Already having received plays on Radio 1 from Seb Fontaine and Fergie and with props from the likes of Timo Maas this looks ready to explode. Keen supporters of the Jamez sound include Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Dave Seaman, Circulation, Trevor Rockliffe and 16b and this is sure to be making it's way into their boxes too very soon.
This looks set to further confirm Jamez's position as one of the most accomplished producers of the moment. The second 12" also features a dazzling trancesetters remix of the brilliant single 'Tetspilot' also from the 'Dreamchasing' album. Be sure to bag your copy for the summer!
