Herman Prime’s debut 12”, “Maajo” is a beautiful ode to spring and new birth. "Maajo" pays homage to Nigerian music, with its borrowed vocals from juju style’s King “Sunny” Ade. The track has a house foundation, which shows in its fat kick drums and sub bass groove, while the hypnotic Rhodes melody harkens to early minimal electronic pioneers such as Manuel Göttsching.

The B-side, “Maajo (Take Four)”, is a track of its own, a mutant revision of the emotional original. This version is not just a slightly altered copy but an electronic dub that takes the original to a completely different direction. Talking drums and a polyrhythm structure maintain the dreamy, Nigerian feel, but the dystopic, detuned synths have the scent of an underground techno bunker.

Jon Thureson, alias Herman Prime, has been open-mindedly DJing and producing music for 15 years. He has a broad understanding of musical language which helps him to infuse his various influences. With his strong background in house and disco, Jon often reaches beyond the limits of both genres towards new frontiers. His love affair with West African styles and electronic Krautrock shows on “Maajo”.

Seagull Records is a spin-off from disco rework factory Kojak Giant Sounds and “Maajo” is a slightly moodier and housier departure from the labels usual repertoire.

Master - DreadMan (John Talabot's Dusty Edit)

Went to see the doctor, just a check-up, nothing new
He wrapped the cuff around my arm, the way they always do
He pumped it up, I felt the squeeze, I waited for the worst
A lecture on my health was set to burst
He looked down at the measurement, then looked me in the eye
Not with a face of worry, but a look of proud surprise
"My goodness," so he said to me, with something close to glee
"160 over 100, that's impressive, you agree?"

High blood pressure is the new success
A statement of importance, I confess
It's not a sign of sickness or of strain
It's the Champions League of stress inside the brain

Out in the waiting room, the word went quickly 'round
A man with perfect numbers looked ashamed and stared the ground
120 over 80, just a slacker, what a shame
He wasn't even trying in this game

High blood pressure is the new success
A statement of importance, I confess
It's not a sign of sickness or of strain
It's the Champions League of stress inside the brain

The doc shook my hand, saying, "Keep it high now, you hear me, friend?"
"Don't you dare start to relax, on that you can depend.“
So now I walk the city streets with this new kind of dread
This pressure to stay stressed inside my head!

I see them on the park bench, they are taking it so slow
110 over 70, is all they have to show
I want to walk right up to them and tell them "shame on you!"
With numbers so relaxed and low, how good will the economy do?

This constant competition, it's a strange and heavy load
To keep my numbers climbing on this long and winding road
I check my wrist again and again… 160 on the dot...
It's the perfect proof of value that I've got.
