jerome sydenham/aybee/ron trent: s.a.t.

A simple dinner in Berlin transformed into a studio session, which in turn evolved into a track, which set the spark for what has now materialized as a highly anticipated full-length work. This was the turn of events that led to an artistic crossroads for Jerome Sydenham (Ibadan Records), AYBEE (Deepblak Recordings), and Ron Trent (Prescription). S.A.T. (Sydenham, AYBEE, Trent) brings together the creative energies of three of underground dance music's most notable stalwarts. Jerome Sydenham has made his mark on dance music history with New York-based Ibadan Records, responsible for some of the most memorable tunes of the last 20 years, including tracks by Kerri Chandler, Joe Claussell, Dennis Ferrer, and many others. Ron Trent is another legendary icon whose distinguished discography spans two decades, and whose Prescription label also sits atop the pantheon of dance music's most esteemed imprints. AYBEE, discovered by Trent in 2001, has become one of the most critically acclaimed and forward-thinking producers of the past decade, with his Deepblak imprint producing a defiant sound that continues break new ground in the electronic spectrum. The trio spent three weeks living in Jerome Sydenham's Berlin studio, and kept the mood loose and organic, emerging with an album full of the elements that they all love about the dancefloor experience.
