ILR 007: Jairus Miller - Jester/Venutian Dancer

Resident Advisor Review

Progressive Sounds Review

"Infamous Light is one of these 'download only' labels, which for all my dislike towards mp3's I cannot take away from the quality here. 'Jester' is a deep tech-house affair that will be ideal for set starters, but the pick of the two here is the Darkside mix of Venutian Dancer with it's plodding style bass line, weird and bizarre sounds and cool percussion. Also check out the previous release, Flexuous 'New Truth EP' for a cool housey vibe."
Rating: M7/M8

"I've always been a fan of Jairus Miller's stuff but ive got to admit that these are some of his best productions in my opinion. I played them both in the same set .. opened up with my own acapella and then into 'Jester' (After Hours Mix) .. i like the way its starts and progresses through out the track , perfect early on or lateron an an afterparty when the lights are low. Later on in the set i introduced 'Venutian Dancer' (Darkside Mix) with its dark groove and vocal snippets , i was asked 3 times the name of the track and have since passed on the information about the track."

"Jester: This is really nice. I like the use of the percussion elements."
Mark Kovach, Djsinbox (UK)
"Jester; Playing often. Makes for a great warm up!
Venutian Dancer; Love the tribal emements here. Grooven vibe and ride!"
Jonathen Ojeda, Spundae/Omnis (USA)
"Nice production work on 'Venutian Dancer', will work very well during peak time of a dj set. Liking the driving basslines
and synth work. 'Jester' - Really liking the synth work that Jairus provided in this track, will work out nicely as an intro track.
Danny Rodrigues, Resurgent Records (Australia)
"Loving the deep house spacey vibe to both mixes here, will definately drop in the early sets around London."
Timo Garcia, Berwick Street Records (UK)
"Wicked deep groove - great early hours stuff!"
Kriece, Arabica (Australia)

Tyler Stadius, Fabric/Deepen Discs (Canada)
"The After Hours mix of Jester will be making some late night appearances for sure! Nice release."

"I usually love Mr Miller's stuff and this sounds as good as most of his output.
'Jester' is the one probably most likely to get a play though."
Cass, Sabotage Systems/Fine/Wall Of Sound (UK).
"'Jester' is def the one on this release. Filled with a good dose of deep weirdness."
Daniel Poli, Suspect Package/Swag Records/Rescue/L-Man/Houshold, (UK).
"I really dig the Darkside mix."
Martin Villeneuve, Tao/Release Records (Canada).
"'Venutian Dancer' is a really powerful track which could be
incorporated into the stronger part of a set really well..."
