I’ve known this one was in the works for a little while now and I am very excited that it’s finally out this week.
Jai Piccone (also known for his role in Tora, who are are also working on a new album) has teamed up with 1tbsp for a strobing energetic release called ‘somethingsgonnaworkout’, which was written in Byron Bay last year after discovering that wicked vocal sample that you hear in there “something’s telling me it’s gonna work out”. It’s also the first taste of a three-track ep that they’ve been working on together…
“While in Europe in late 2022, I was listening to 1tbsp during a couple of my running days. Impressed by his unique take on dance production and sampling, I reached out to line up a writing session for when I arrived back in aus. We spent a weekend in my studio in Byron, and managed to produce four tracks, including ‘somethingsgonnaworkout’ and ‘ano kute,’ which I feel showcased the carefree sampling style I admired. I feel these tracks blend our songwriting background (with Golden Vessel / Tora) with our exploration of dance music. The session captured this balance between our roots and our exploration of dance music. The discovery of the ‘something’s telling me it’s gonna work out’ sample was perfect for us as it felt like a reflection on the chaos of the previous few years.
Looking back, I feel it serves as an ode to the music scene’s resilience during tough times, music supports people and people support music.” ~ Jai Piccone
