Josh Wink is someone who needs little introduction having created some of the biggest and most influential club tracks over the past 30 years including ‘I’m Ready’, ‘Don’t Laugh’, ‘Superfreak’, ‘Talking To You’, ‘Meditation Will Manifest’ and ‘Higher States Of Consciousness’ to name just a few out of his never-ending catalog. He has recorded on some of the biggest labels of house and techno including, Nervous, Strictly Rhythm, R&S, Bedrock, Cocoon, Ellum Audio and PokerFlat. In 1994 he started Ovum Recordings which is still as strong as ever and is heralded as a buy-on-sight imprint for lovers of deep house, techno, and acid.

Josh and Jimpster first became acquainted when Jamie was asked by Josh to remix a track from his 2009 LP ‘When A Banana Was Just a Banana’, and the favor was returned when Josh remixed Jimpster’s ‘Alsace and Lorraine’ in 2011. The pair have stayed in touch since, cut to 2023 and Jimpster presents us a full signature-sounding Josh Wink EP made with Freerange in mind, right in time for the summer.

‘Autonomic Journeys’ leads the charge with a track that hits that sweet spot between pumping Detroit techno, deep house atmospherics, and twisted acid. 909 drums, 303 squelch, and 106 pads ensure Roland is well represented in the track and all underpinned by a fat rolling bassline.

‘Pan Gloss’ gives us a chunky slice of bouncy percussive house which exudes a positive energy as it unfolds over 7 minutes. Fat stabs sit front and centre while chiming arpeggios and acid line dance around the beat making for a track that makes you move as much as get lost in.

Closing out the release things go deeper on ‘San Guine’, with a snappy groove laying the foundation for lush sine stabs, filtering pads, and a hooky cross-rhythm analog synth line.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Autonomic Journeys’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
