those of you who remember it will know this is hot. irfane has now
teamed up w/ old school homie jerome "slim" hadey and graffiti
mastermind jay one to become outlines. this special task force is
about to remind us who is able to produce the best blend in urban
club and pop music: fellas from france. hip-hop heads irfane and
jerome are handling musical production: composing, arranging,
performing (it is irfane who is singing) and the production
itself, while jay one provides his impressive graphic skills.
we would like to draw your attention to these unbelievable
anthems: "just a lil' lovin'", "hold on" & "a matter of time".
it all began in 2002 with a little club night in bar rhumba,
london, uk. mr. gilles peterson and jazzanova were hosting the
night and, towards the end of the night, they dropped "just a lil
lovin'", which a friend in berlin had given them on cd-r. it so
happened that irfane was also present at this very time and in
this very place. he couldn't believe that his song was being
played, since no one had gotten a copy of it except maybe a few
close friends? he immediately went to the dj booth: "yo, dude, i
made this tune, how did you get a hold of it?" three speechless
moments and one week later in berlin, jazzanova, irfane and jerome
(irf's childhood buddy) met up to discuss a possible release of
"just a lil' lovin'" and whether or not there was more hot stuff
in the pipeline. and there was?
irfane & jerome: "let's do dis like who dis! let's call up our
friend jay one so that he can kick it on the graphic design tip".
outlines was born.
2002-2005: the tune is playlisted by jazzanova, gilles peterson,
4hero, mr scruff, kruder & dorfmeister, king britt, boris dlugosh,
pedro winter, kyoto jazz massive, gilb'r and probably your mother.
check the latest dj edit of "just a lil' lovin'" with a little
help from extended spirits' axel reinemer at berlin's exit studios
and experience how hot in herre it can get.
meanwhile the trio continued to work on more tunes. tons of tunes,
only the best drafts survive and will be completed for the album.
"hold on" is one of the results and gives you a nice little
preview of outlines' forthcoming lp, "our lives are too short" due
for release in the second half of 2005. again: it is a perfect
blend between urban club and pop music and has great potential.
the third song, "a matter of time", was originally recorded for
gilles petersons' worldwide exclusives compilation, but we are
re-releasing it as it will also be on the upcoming album. this
detailed yet very funky song shows outlines' taste and feeling for
sophisticated programming that simply grooves. all the intricate
sound bytes and melodies in the tune are bound together by
irfane's sweet vocal performance.
with this release outlines underline their will for energy driven
music, which is positive and uplifting. if you're having the
blues, let outlines blow away your worries and enlighten your day
with nothing more than ... just a lil' lovin'.
the album outlines "our lives are too short" will be released
worldwide on sonar kollektiv in autumn 2005.
notice : vinyl release is different by one track "just a lil'
lovin' (original)" unreleased on cdm done by dgn.
