Jimi Tenor announced the termination of his contract with Warp Records today (Oct 10). Now he's looking for a new label which would be ready and willing to invest in largish production with money being put into making music rather than, say, videos.

The upcoming Sähkö Recordings Italian tour will offer a great chance to hear Jimi Tenor perform material from his 'Impostor Orchestra' and 'City Of Women' records. Nicole Willis and her band (Chris Dawkins on guitar, Simon Pearson on drums, Peter Shand on bass and Jimi Tenor of course) will perform songs from her new 'Soul Makeover' album. The pioneering DJ Esko Routamaa from Finland will be there to provide the necessary beats. See the dates for these Sähkö Nights here.
