The Return Trip Volume 1 vinyl

A welcome return to Blind Jack's Journey for Lille's foremost exponent of deep house lusciousness Jimini, with the Frenchman having helped inaugurated the label's Dream House series back in 2012. Though he's only previously issued one full single, the digital only 2013 Dance Flight Therapy EP on Lo-Deep Recordings, Jimini is clearly suited to the format; here he treats ears to a quartet of productions that commences on a palpably sensuous note with "On The Road", a track whose emotive impact is magnified by the fragile vocal contribution of Molly Knew. The lightly break beat flavoured "Hopeness" draws from a similar sound palette, with some incandescent synths taking the show stealing place of any vocals, whilst the B Side houses two cuts that the DJs will find very useful indeed, in particular the deep grooves of "Wishes". Another fine drop from Blind Jack's Journey.
