Jellyfish Jam

10:40 aka Jesse Fahnestock is based in Stockholm, Sweden and came to my attention a couple of months ago via Bagging Area, with a blissfully wonderful dub of How Does it Feel? by Spacemen 3. This was enough to get me over to 10:40's Bandcamp page and buy the debut album, All Of Us, released in April. It's been a regular listen since then and one of the tracks, The Forever Yes, featured in my slipshod, sticky tape & scissors Pan-Ambient Summer Washout Mix the following month.

On Wednesday, Swiss Adam highlighted another 10:40 remix, this time the equally wonderful "Outer Hebrides Dub" of Inner Meet Me by The Beta Band. Jesse commented that he had a new release coming out on 11th June, which I purchased and listened to this morning.

10:40 vs. Eagle Harbor is a split single with 10:40 remixing Eagle Harbor (aka Peter Hanks) on the A-side and vice versa on the flip. I'm completely new to Eagle Harbor and can't compare with the original version of "Badwater Lake" but, suffice to say, 10:40's Jellyfish Jam delivers the goods, a pulsing, mid-tempo jaunt with vocals washing in and out like waves. Eagle Harbor remixes Bone Cutter from All Of Us, upping the BPMs over 5 and a half minutes, without ever losing the identity of the original version.

All tracks are well worth a listen and currently available on Bandcamp (All Of Us album included) as a "name your price" purchase.

  1. Cheers, Khayem, very kinds words. I've shared this with Pete (Eagle Harbor) as well. The original "Badwater Lake" was never released, it was just something he sent me that I had a very particular idea about remixing. It's quite different, no vocals, no acid, not so much funk, much more like a pretty downtempo number by Lemon Jelly or someone (that's where the Jellyfish Jam idea came from).

    Digging your blog -- so much music to discover down there!

    1. Credit where credit's due. A sizeable percentage of the new (or new to me) music that I hear comes via your Bagging Area posts, Adam.
