Few acts manage to start such a commotion with their first 12" as OUTLINES with Just A Little Lovin. Even though that release was delayed by 2 years due to a complication getting a sample cleared and the track was already brought into circulation by bootleg guerillas in the mean time.
After this hit which nobody coudn´t get out of their ears, and got shouts of praise from people like GILLES PETERSON, LAURENT GARNIER, KING BRITT, MR. SCRUFF and JOSH WINK, of course the expectations for the follow up are high.
But with Listen To The Drums the french men Irfane and Jerome who have been friends since their school days land their next hit together with legendary grafitti artist JAY1. The three of them combine their musik and art through self-drawn covers and videos. The track itself consists of hip-hop style samples in combination with a wide afrobeat.

OUTLINES happened to meet up with FAT FREDDYS DROP in Berlin and they soon got the new zeelanders in the studio to record the horns for the song. Back home in their studio in the Parisian district Cligancourt, which is right beside the studios of CASSIUS and DAFT PUNK, their are just putting the finishing touches to their, thanks to Just A Lil’ Lovin’, hotly awaited debut album. The album will contain a musical journey through hip-hop, soul, pop and house.

JAZZANOVA liked Listen To The Drums so much that it quickly became a permanent placement in their DJ sets and they quickly gave it their unmistakable remix treatment. Similar to their interpretation of Eddie Gales’ Song Of Will for Blue Note the synth lines are in the foreground and give the whole thing a new dynamic which is certainly eclectic enough to appeal to people with open ears.
