They immediately went for the iconic Tony Joe White classic ‚Rainy Night in Georgia› and gave this long-time favourite their remix treatment. The personal positive feedback from Tony Joe White himself for that remix was overwhelming and everybody was set to continue. Up next was a warm 2004 summer night in Hamburg, Germany with the actual location being the backstage area of the Fabrik Club. Tony Joe White just left the stage after performing a breathtaking set looking back at his longlasting career which started in the late sixties. After speaking on the phone various times and exchanging ideas by email during the months before this is the first ever meeting in person. For the next few entertaining hours they enjoyed a few beers and the plan to work together was nailed down with all involved people having a smile on their faces when they left. With ‚Keep Going› the first outcome of their collaboration was going to see the light of day on the Boozoo Bajou album ‚Dust My Broom› released in 2005 on !K7. Afterwards it took a 16 years long break before the second part of their joint recordings is going to appear on a limited edition 10inch Vinyl in July 2021. Originally recorded back in 2005 it is a re-lick of Tony Joe White™s wonderful 1969 tune ‚Aspen Colorado› which was newly sung with additional blues harp and guitar by the man himself on a soulful laidback Boozoo Bajou beat. After the tragic death of Tony Joe White in October 2018 it was rather vague if this was going to happen but with the grateful help of his son Jody Boozoo Bajou can finally present this musical gem to the public.

Boozoo Bajou & Tony Joe White - Aspen Colorado (Frank Mollena's Cosmic Mix) Short Bio: Boozoo BajouÙs producers Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider are already widely celebrated around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin-music and dub. Just like Kruder & Dorfmeister or Nightmares on Wax, German downtempo duo Boozoo Bajou™s musical journey started in the mid Nineties releasing a healthy number of 12-inches and albums for Stereo Deluxe and !K7 leaning towards dub and trip-hop. They earned attention with their irresistible breakthrough single ˜Night Over Manaus™ in 1998, their legendary debut album Satta™ released in 2001 and it Ùs 2005 sequel ˜Dust My Broom™. With ‚Grains› their second album on !K7 they ventured towards a more acoustic and folky orientated sound featuring the great female UK vocalist Rumer on various tracks. They also demonstrated their excellent and wide-ranging musical taste on two excellent mix- compilations, ˜Juke Joint™ and ˜Juke Joint II™ on !K7 and their darker, 2014 album ‚4" on Apollo/R&S, which was influenced by ambient dub artists like Brian Eno, the Basic Channel roster, and Jon Hassell. With more than 100.000 albums sold and their music being featured on over 300+ compilations, Boozoo Bajou have managed to capture a wide audience with their individualistic approach to modern music.

The production of this release release brought them back together in the studio after a lengthy break. In spring 2021 they decided to launch their own imprint label ‚Pilotton› to release their music for their fans and the people loving the Boozoo Bajou Sound worldwide.
