(25/22) Born and raised in Chicago, Durty Truth Records founder Darryn Jones frequently swims in similar musical waters to his friend and Windy City contemporary Rahaan. It’s little surprise then to find him pop up on North-East England re-edit imprint Hot Biscuit Recordings, an outlet that has been releasing Rahaan reworks for several years. A-side ‘In The Bush’ is a thrillingly heavyweight jam – an Afro-funk meets Afro-disco version of a track made famous by US disco and boogie outfits, which Jones has expertly extended and rearranged in all the right places. B-side ‘In The Know’, meanwhile, is a take on a more classic-sounding slab of Afro-disco that boasts a superb “walking bassline”, extended electric piano solos, sultry strings and a fine male lead vocal.
