Roland Haynes Jr. & Phenix – Mind Games
Roland Haynes Jr. & Phenix – The Essence Of Jai
Roland Haynes Jr. & Phenix – Song For My Father

1. Mind Games
2. The Essence Of Jai
3. Song For My Father

Long overdue and very welcome - as is often the way with music on the faultless Athens of the North - this new 12" finally gives 'Mind Games' the space it always demanded. Lifted from Gilles Peterson's 2024 album, the track hits harder on its own. Its delightful disco-jazz drive stretches out into a peak-time weapon with enough heft for serious systems. It is fluid, muscular and yet doused in vulnerability with the falsetto vocal soaring and majestic chords. The flip keeps the quality high with 'The Essence of Jai', a slower, deeper cut that leans into mood and movement with a softer sense. Closing the circle is a previously unreleased take on 'Song for My Father', which is closer in spirit to Leon Thomas' version - soulful and beautifully unhurried.
