Vein Melter

Out 18th May, the “Vein Melter” EP sees two acclaimed New York music makers, Jesse Fischer and Sly5thAve, joining forces to cover four tracks from Herbie Hancock’s seminal jazz funk album ‘Head Hunters’, paying homage to the contemporary, crowd-pleasing spirit of the originals and reframing these incredible pieces for the dance music fans of today. Snapped up for a limited (300) edition 12” vinyl and download release by Tru Thoughts, “Vein Melter” has already gained a strong seal of approval on both sides of the Atlantic, with early support from Gilles Peterson (BBC 6Music) as well as KCRW’s Jeremy Sole and Anthony Valadez, to add to worldwide blog buzz.
