I'm always thrilled when an email drops in, giving me a heads up of a new release by Jezebell aka Jesse Fahnestock and Darren Bell, and the latest news especially so.
Turn It Yes was one of five new songs and the closing track on last year's essential compilation Jezebellearic Beats Volume 2 (my review here), a joyous seven-and-a-half minutes built around a positive message/sample. I may be walking on thin ice if I name the featured artist here again, but they should be instantly recognisable.
Eight months later and 6th March (Bandcamp Friday, if you're keeping note) brings Turn It Yes Remixes Vol. 1, a 4-track EP featuring the original mix plus three fresh reworks.
The EP is previewed with a gorgeous remix by Parvale aka Neil Parnell and Ian Vale, returning the favour as Jezebell remixed their own single Breaker City in 2025. Needless to say, it's a celebratory affair, upping the BPMs but losing none of the emotional impact of the original.
Given that the other two remixes come from Hardway Bros aka Sean Johnston and Five Green Moons aka Justin Robertson, then this EP is the very definition of a must-have purchase.
And "Volume 1"...?
Those Jezebell lads spoil us rotten.
