THE FINAL STRAW EP

A1. Jim Rider & Black Soda - The Final Straw A2. Jim Rider - Rascals B1. Jim Rider - Los Que Caen B2. Jim Rider - The Cypriot Lee Burridges™ All Day I Dream Presents Jim Rider™s Fantastic New EP, The Final Straw The UK-Producer Revives the Labels™ Heavier Melodic Sensibilities Across 4-Originals The title track opens an EP led by intention, accenting a time in the producer™s life where he was disillusioned with his day job and intent on pursuing music full time once again. šThe Final Straw'' includes a romantic, husky narrative delivered by Namibian vocalist šBlack Soda› (AKA Annely Ickua). Here we find him pulling from his musical upbringing - melodic elements afforded to him by his Mother, a folk musician and singer, and his focus on percussion fueled by his background as a drummer. šRascals› is a follow up to šFools› from Jim™s 2021 Beatport category #1 EP šPopcorn & Politics›. It pays homage to the classic 1950s American TV show šLittle Rascals› with eccentric keys and playful percussion alongside dazzling, eccentric elements from keys to tropical-inspired marimbas. šLos Que Caen,› as the name suggests, is inspired by Rider™s love of latin music and percussion and includes a heavy bass guitar riff, bouncy synths and a harp-led rhythm section. EP closer šThe Cypriot› blends lead flute lines with plucky synths and a driving bassline while sporadic haunting vocal ad-libs and delayed keys add decoration to the track.
