Kito Jempere will be a new name to many with only a handful of productions and remixes under his belt but that's the way we like to do it here and we're proud to play a small part in helping introduce his production prowess to a wider audience. The St. Petersburg native came to our attention following an invite for Jimpster to play at one of his legendary outdoor summer parties in his home town. A friendship was born and when the brilliant demos arrived in the mail, it wasn't a hard decision to agree to release them.

Confusion kicks off the EP in a blaze of rattling percussion, layers of cowbells building the groove whilst the glitchy pads shift in unison with the thick moogy bass. Extra splashes of crash and live snare rolls add a sample-heavy energy and enhance the live feel laying down the foundation for the vocal sample. This one is the perfect moodsetter with the constantly moving chord progression keeping your interest and the fat, analogue production adding extra warmth to the sound.

I Get This Feeling follows, treading a similar sonic path with hints of live breaks and percussion loops injecting movement into the loping house groove. Dubbed out vocals and horn samples add a definite mid-nineties feel to this one with a nod to Guidance or UK labels DIY and Paper shining through.

Flipping over we have a whopper of a remix from Jacob Korn who has been on our remixer hitlist ever since his She release blew us away in 2011. The German producer has been killing it with every remix and original production since then so we were over the moon when we heard he loved the original track and would be happy to get involved. As it turned out we got not one but two absolute beauties from him. The vinyl version bounces along perfectly over it's nine and a half minutes remaining deeper than deep yet keeping maximum energy flowing with the Wild Pitch-esque vocal stabs and dramatic build ups and breakdowns.

The digital bonus version offers a completely different vibe with Jacob opting for a straighter groove, an intense repeating bass note and layers of stabs all making for complete dancefloor ecstacy. Tried and tested by Jimpster on his Boiler Room set and recent live gigs and looking set to becaome the secret weapon of many in the coming months.

He has been producing electronic music of different flavours for what seems like an eternity.

Once he turned his attention to more classical but versatile house and techno stylings he chose to go by his given name. Jacob Korn continually experiments in new recordingstyles and production techniques, while developing his own music tools for cross mediaarts and interactive performances.

He played live in clubs and at festivals in Japan (Ageha-Tokyo, Triangle-Osaka), Chile (Mutek-Santiago), Uruguay (Soco-Montevideo), Canada (Mutek-Montrel, New Forms-Vancouver, RBMA-Toronto), USA (HoneySound-San Francisco, Mr.Sunday-NYC) Spain (Sonár Festival-Barcelona), Norway, Denmark (Dunkel-Copenhagen), Netherlands (Sugar Factory, Picnic at Night-Amsterdam), Sweden, Switzerland (Zukunft-Zürich), Austria and Germany (Panoramabar/Berghain,  Watergate, About/Blank, Kleine Reise-Berlin, Ego and Übel und Gefährlich-Hamburg, Robert Johnson-Offenbach, Bob Beaman-München, CynetartFestival-Dresden, MELT!-Festival Nachtdigital Festival).
