Tim Green releases Lemon EP on Cocoon 0
Tim Green has come a long way in such a short period of time with releases and remixes for the most respected labels out there such as Dirtybird, Get Physical, Cocoon and XL Recordings to name but a few and when you consider the fact he is only 25 years young, his future is bright to say the very least!
It is evident that his output is always one step ahead of the game, always trend setting and always evolving. His new three track EP consists of three killer yet distinct cuts that have been causing mayhem on dancefloor across the world in recent months. It is safe to say that the Lemon EP packs enough punch and bite that it will send any discerning dancefloor into a fiery frenzy of fanatical proportions regardless of which track is played.
The title track, Lemon, is a slab of summer funk neatly oozing with house flavours, vocal snippets, superb synth lines and tantalising tropical titbits which has been getting props from top drawer DJs across the board. It is a sure fire hit and one you can expect to hear during a sunset set at DC10 this summer.
The second track, Jimmy Rave Up, is a straight up spooky techno number which would do the damage if played in Fabric’s main room at 4 o’clock in the morning. This track simply display’s Tim Green’s versatility and as a producer as well as his keen eye to originality.
The third and final track, Dodjo, is a summer anthem complete with steel drum samples and second to none production skills. This track will make you wish you were sipping rum on a jamaican beach with the sun glaring down on you.
With props for this EP coming from the likes of Loco Dice, Sven Vath, M.A.N.D.Y, Tiefschwarz and many more as well as the legendary Pete Tong making Lemon his track of the week on BBC Radio 1 it is safe to say that the sky is the limit for Tim Green who delivers perhaps the greatest EP of his career.
It is hard to pick a favourite on this EP, I think they are all solid pieces of work and I expect to see all of them climbing up the beatport charts in weeks to come. If anything, I encourage you all to go and purchase the whole EP as the current state of the Beatport charts leaves a lot to be desired.
I also strongly recommended downloading his “Small Hours of the Morning” mix series (see below) which showcases the more nu-disco / deep house tip of his tastes. Very nice indeed.
