british producer ian simmonds is no stranger to the downtempo/headz
circuit. he has been active in the london underground scene as a
professional guitarist, keyboard and trumpet player since 1991 when
he made his debut appearance as founder of acid jazz formation the
sandals. in addition he produced his own tracks for the then totally
unknown leftfield and pressure drop, which were to substantially
influence his later productions. during these recordings he met
musician luke gordon - their paths were to cross frequently in the
future.
along with his production jobs and commitments as a bassist for
numerous bands ian simmonds was releasing tracks on illustrious
labels such as ninja tune, atl, pussyfoot and ssr under his
pseudonym, juryman. juryman vs spacer, the album he produced in
collaboration with luke gordon, is touted as an absolute milestone
of innovative jazzy electronics, and made a good many djs and
critics sit bolt upright and pay attention.
