?Harlem One Stop? is a subway ride back to the quality house music of old, and was hand-picked as a future hit by original ?Madchester? icon Mike Pickering, who said the track had energy reminiscent of Black Box?s classic ?Ride On Time?. The Original Mix side-steps the feverish use of filters and samples that has become the standard for crossover dance hits of late, opting instead for twanging guitars, diva vocals and a live horn section early-Perfecto would be proud of. Meanwhile the Dead Stereo Mix leads things forcefully down a dark alley, where echoing vocals are looped into jackin? synths and electro-tinged claps.

Bimbo Jones are a UK based trio, made up of studio partners Lee and JB, also known to many by their alter-egos Dead Stereo & Element. Lee?s background lies in DJing, which he was drawn into in the early-nineties after hearing the likes of Sasha, Carl Cox and Massive Attack at those now infamous free parties. Meanwhile JB started out playing thrash guitar in underground clubs, before becoming the accomplished multi-instrumentalist he is today – he can often be found playing live with his chill out hip hop band Jacuti.

The duo?s unique blend of talents have proven to be the basis for a successful partnership, with remixes for the likes of Deepdish , Usher, The Bodyrockers, Ciara and Annie Lennox under their belts. More recently, they were the producers behind the re-birth of a curly-haired crooner with the Leo Sayer-sampling Number One ?Thunder In My Heart Again? by Meck.

However it was only after the pair?s introduction to South London songstress Katherine Ellis that Bimbo Jones the band was born and work began on their forthcoming album. Katherine?s extensive credentials include touring with Roger Sanchez as a featured vocalist, four chart hits with the Ruff Drivers, work with Dave Lee under his Raven Maize guise and the massive Salsoul Nugget hit ?If You Wanna?. Her vocals have also graced breakbeat anthems such as ?Shiver? by Lee Coombs and Dylan Rhymes? ?Salty?, as well as Mark Knight?s recent hit ?Insatiable?.

Join Bimbo Jones on their trip to ?funky town? as they release ?Harlem One Stop? on June 12th.
