Author: Friendly FAUX | Date: Feb 8, 2013 | 0 Comments
“Introducing a new super group made up of the two long-time friends. Together, Theophilus London and Jesse Boykins III are PARIS 96. Theophilus and Jesse wrote songs together early on in their careers (“Cold Pillow,” “Humdrum Town”) when they were both coming up! Theophilus thought it’d be the perfect time to reconnect and make music together. Their new music is a fresh take on soul with a seductive panty dropping vibe. Check out their new track called “Afternoon” and expect a Paris ’96 EP in April.” – Paris 96 Look for an EP in April.

Jesse Boykins III & MeLo-X – The Perfect Blues (Machinedrum Remix)

“The Perfect Blues” is the sort of song that I’d say couldn’t be remixed…or “shouldn’t” be. It fits too well in its own space to be touched. This Machinedrum remix does enough to move the song to a different place, where it doesn’t feel like it’s upsetting the great original. JBIII & MeLo-X’s collaborative project, Zulu Guru, will arrive November 5. Jesse Boykins III & MeLo-X – ‘The Perfect Blues’ (Machinedrum Remix) by Ninja Tune

Part of Red Bull Music Academy’s Various Assets project: “This song is the perfect explanation for what it means to be a human being in love with danger and risk-taking in relationships,” says Jesse. It began as a loop of hand claps and gradually evolved into an emotive ballad worthy of applause.

Programming by Gora Sou, keyboards by Dorian Concept, backing vocals by Andrea Balency. The ‘Various Assets – Not For Sale’ compilation holds some of the happy accidents and magical moments that happened during the Red Bull Music Academy in Madrid 2011.
