  • Jimi Tenor and Tony Allen are to collaborate for the next chapter in Strut's Information Inspiration series. The acclaimed set reaches its fourth edition with the duo. Both hardly need an introduction: Allen is, of course, the legendary percussionist who helped popularize Afrobeat, while Finnish electronic musician and jazz maverick Jimi Tenor has released music on Warp and PIAS. The two came together, as is usual for the series, and recorded the album in less than a week, resulting in a loose collection of tunes. For a taste of the results, you can take a look at the teaser trailer below. Tracklist 01. Against the Wall feat. Allonymous 02. Sinuhe 03. Selfish Gene 04. Path to Wisdom feat. Allonymous 05. Darker Side of Light 06. Mama England 07. Got My Egusi Fix 08. Cella's Walk 09. Three Continents Strut will release Jimi Tenor and Tony Allen's Information Inspiration in fall.
