We welcome newcomer Jemu (pronounced Jem-You) to the Fly Boy Records family with his masterful ‘Rayban Funk’ EP. A 3 track collection of Soulful House cuts, introducing us to the new producer with a snapshot of what he has to offer.

The EP takes us through a satisfying journey of bold low end, grooving, dusty drum tracks and emotive chord patterns. Through the music we get hints of Jemu’s inspiration taken from a broad range of styles and artists like LTJ Bukem, DJ Premier and Jazzanova.

'For me, the real fun in writing music is coming up with chord progressions and melodies; the tempo doesn’t matter as long as the musical elements create the feeling that I’m trying to achieve through the music. I have a real love for Hip Hop, R&B and Soul, so with this EP I’ve been experimenting with sound pallets and chord progressions reminiscent of those styles, but in a slightly different context.'

From the gritty drums of 'Rayban Funk', the laid back R&B vocal chops of 'Trip To You' to the left field lead lines of 'Unfold', this debut EP from Jemu is a perfect slice of lo-fi, soulful goodness. Tuck in!
