Free Returns Tenor, Jimi / Freestyle Man Forgotten Planet Awakens Studio Barnhus vinyl record

Tech House / Deep House 2 Tracker – Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man with their third outing on Studio Barnhus,
fully focused on thawing our frozen future with this sincere, glorious
hymn. Ricardo Villalobos on the remix – upping the tempo and warping the original’s choral melodies into something slightly more menacing, with that classic RV rubber bassline to keep us bouncing through it all.

“Having released two EPs worth of mature but twisted New Jersey house tracks from Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man, the Studio Barnhus A&R committee was eagerly awaiting the Finnish legends’ third submission to our label.
However, upon receiving a demo of “Forgotten Planet Awakens”, it was clear to all that this sincere space hymn demanded a standalone release, rather than EP inclusion. Once again we faced that age-old dilemma: What to put on b-side?
…why, a Ricardo Villalobos remix, of course! The German-Chilean minimal techno god naturally agreed this was the only way forward, delivering a take which is something glorious on its own as well as a perfect complement to the original.
If Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man’s song is about a frozen planet in a far away galaxy, slowly thawing by the power of some mysterious cosmic heat source, then Ricardo’s remix is that planet’s moon – dancing around it in a peculiar orbit, causing its oceans to rise and fall, adding light to the night.
