Mule Musiq welcomes British producer Jimmy Wallace, presenting his debut album Red, Yellow, Black -- a nine-track strong record that partly leaves the dancefloor behind. Wallace has performed with artists like Ruf Dug, Mr Scruff, and Bradley Zero, heating up the dance floors. As a producer he has already released a handful of stunning eps, including one for Sweden's finest house label studio Barnhus, and one for London's revered Rhythm Section International imprint. Both feature house tunes with an edge, house tunes with a love for the roots of the genre along-side more reflective, ambient moments. He also runs the label Tartan Records, where he publishes dancefloor focused white labels. His music has been championed by titans of the scene such as Palms Trax, Ryan Elliott, DJ Tennis, Gilles Peterson, Dixon, and Hunee. Axel Boman even coined his debut EP as "one of the very best demo emails ever received at label Studio Barhnus HQ." An advance praise, that Wallace now acknowledges with an album full of deeply crafted music. Some tracks lean towards the dancefloor, like the swung sounds of "Bubbles", the hypnotic maelstrom of "Good Morning," or the epic, jazzy moments of "Labyrinth." The theme of nature is evident throughout, with field recordings and environmental sounds he recorded on the road, being fused with his own musical ideas. The result is a mesmerizing long player featuring an evocative, emotional story arc that avoids stereotypes and straight party orientated narration.
