Jimi Tenor & Cold Diamond & Mink Gaia Sunset

The electronic synth-wizard Jimi Tenor blends celestial sounds with gritty moondust funk, accompanied by the down and dirty energy of Cold Diamond & Mink. Jimi Tenor might be most known for his hit single ́“Take Me Baby” that was released on the pioneering electro label Warp in the 90’s. Jimi Tenor has released two albums with legendary Fela Kuti’s drummer Tony Allen. The first single dropping from Jimi Tenor’s new Timmion album “Is There Love In Outer Space?” kicks off like a desert breeze from Nigerien keyboardist Mamman Sani’s 1980s cosmic songbook. Perhaps this is the same kind of panorama that Tenor and Cold Diamond & Mink want us to imagine while traversing the two sides of this vinyl single. At the latest, the psychedelic desert blues guitar solo transports us on a cold Sahara sand dune, watching a magical sunrise on Mother Earth, something only a few humans get to witness. This is the type of jam you can close your eyes to and let those colorscapes of your mind fill the space. The minimal vocal parts come through like a welcoming chant for the Sun slowly creeping up in the horizon, ready to extend its burning arms around all things living and dead equally. With their new collaborative project, Jimi Tenor and Cold Diamond & Mink breathe a new type of life into each others’ tried & tested styles – delivering a natural fusion of cosmic and raw soul music. So hop along in this spaceship, and let it ride!
