Search - Pimp Daddy Nash :: New Jazz Science (Reis)

He sauntered onto the scene from somewhere in the Midwest, an international ne?er-do-well maintaining a low profile as he filled listening rooms with Brazilian flavored beats and leftfield sound pastiches. A persona became a gag, then a myth. While the masses partied, he played?constructed. And as the rules changed and the music changed, the magic left and came back as magic often does. Such is the way of electronic alchemists and new beat adventurers, always searching for the New Jazz Science. Pimp Daddy Nash, a.k.a. Jon Curtis, is the scientist in question. The persona came about during the initial organization of the Orlando-based Eighth Dimension collective ? also home to Q-Burns Abstract Message and DJ BMF. But while Q-Burns Abstract Message signed on with Astralwerks and DJ BMF ensures hip-hop don't stop as his ferociously popular Phat N' Jazzy party sprints toward a decade, Pimp Daddy Nash rode out the Nineties with a single-minded pursuit of electronic excellence. Fitting right in alongside the big beats, downtempos, noir-ish soundscapes and spy-themed samples that infiltrated electronic music in the mid-90s, Pimp Daddy Nash found himself recording for Mephisto Records, Om Records, Delancey Street, and FFRR for the duration of the century. Fast forward to 2004 - the musical landscape is vastly different then when the Pimp first came around and introduced the bossanova numbers racket. Electronic music permeates culture to the core, unprecedented, unstoppable. Unstoppable like the endless mine of musical ideas from the mind of Pimp Daddy Nash. Like the New Jazz Science about to be unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
