Premiere: Tim & Puma Mimi – Schuwa Schuwa (None Of Them Voodoo – Mix)

Share

Tim & Puma Mimi describe themselves as sushi served with Swiss chocolate for wasabi.

As off-the-wall as that sounds, that’s just an appetiser in their world. This Swiss-Japanese duo, who for the most part reside in Zurich, have been crafting a colourful, wacky world for themselves (and us) for more than a decade now.

On their latest release, Der Die Das (the German articles), Tim & Puma Mimi not only pushed their idiosyncrasies to the maximum, but also refined them to perfection. By analogy, it’s as if Towa Tei and Lady Miss Kier of Deee-Lite ran into Giorgio Moroder at the thickest, craziest 90s rave.

The point is that Der Die Das is a wildly bizarre ride, one that manages to weave the very roots of Electronica, with a touch of that sexy, sensual 90s rave music, some great pop songwriting and a bit of an 8-bit aesthetic. And it does this using a modern production craft.

We premiere ‘Schuwa Schuwa (None Of Them Voodoo – Mix)’ of the album today..

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
