oh jimmy jimmy. its very rare for us to move away from our tried and tested mixtape format but when one man electro funk sex machine jimmy edgar comes to us with an amazing live set recorded at berghain we want to share and so that is what we bring you this week.

jimmy edgar is still only in his mid twenties but due to his amazingly early development he feels like somewhat of an elder statesman already. most closely associated with warp records who took him onboard at age 18, jimmy has spent the past decade bringing the funk to the dancefloors of the world. this year he has teamed up with !k7 records to produce what in a sane world would be the biggest selling POP! album of the year. XXX is a joyous record building on his previous work and buffing it up with a sheen that reveals jimmy to be a natural heir to prince. that good.

you can pick up the lp here and but right now revel in this throbbingly great set.

Wish I could get over to this! The space is sick, got some real tidy lighting and visuals.

Definately recommended!!

Why did you choose Perlon to put the album out? Was this always the plan before the record was written?

I like Zip and trust him. I like Perlon’s approach generally. There’s no hype and the emphasis is on the music. I had a lot of tracks and asked Zip if he liked any of them. He said that he liked quite a few. I was pleased about that as I wasn’t too confident. He chose the ones he liked best and then I had a listen and then tweaked them a bit.

Your recent live sets have seen you play a little slower than before. Is that the same case with the material on Three EPs?

Well, some of the tracks are slower, some aren’t. I suppose that the major difference is not speed but style. They aren’t so dance floor orientated.

Are there any artists in particular that have been influencing your work of late?

My finger is hardly on the pulse of modern music as you know! I have been buying a lot of stuff that Honest Jon’s is putting out these days.

Do you ever think you’ll run your own label again, or is Skull Disco the final nail in the coffin in that respect?

I don’t honestly know. If so, it would have to be something worthwhile with fresh ideas.

You’ve been getting to grips with playing live over the past couple of years. Are the performances something that has fed back into the tracks on the record?

Yes, actually it has.

There’s currently a rich sea of artists residing in Berlin. Are any future collaborations on the cards?

I have already worked together with Jürgen Böttcher (Strawalde).

Is there any reason why the record is called Three EPs? Was the original plan to release each vinyl separately?

This is because I don’t see it as an album. Album seems a bit over the top and would do well to have a concept behind it. With this I just like the tunes and hope that others will too.
