奇米尼奥是一位来自英国的爵士/电子乐艺人，也是新厂牌NRG唱片公司的创始人（此前曾在布朗斯伍德、夜梦人、齿轮箱和散光唱片公司发行作品，合作艺人有加里·巴茨、沙巴卡·哈钦斯、玛伊莎、努比亚·加西亚、西卡达、乌尼里等，也有个人作品）。奇米尼奥是一位多才多艺的音乐人，他将现场鼓和打击乐的原始能量与前沿的电子音乐制作相结合。
他早期的个人作品展示了他在音乐创作上独特的天赋，他使用自己编写的软件，通过每一次钹的撞击和鼓的敲击来触发合成器和采样，摒弃了循环和节拍器。这种亲力亲为、以技术驱动的创作方法让奇米尼奥能够完全自发地掌控自己的音乐——这一切都在他的鼓凳上完成——创造出既大胆又创新的音乐风格。
奇米尼奥的最新项目“NRG”延续了这种创新思维。源于对英国爵士乐坛的探讨，奇米尼奥认为这种音乐表达与其说是“爵士”，不如说是驱动它的能量（NRG）。因此，“NRG”发展成了一个半定期的活动，奇米尼奥召集了伦敦一些最优秀的音乐人进行现场即兴表演，这些表演体现了这一音乐场景的精神。这些现场录音随后由奇米尼奥和联合制作人阿维夫·科恩进行神奇的制作处理，将它们变成了我们能在唱片中听到的杰作。
《NRG 4》是一次充满力量的电影般的音乐之旅。《爵士智慧》杂志评论这场音乐会的音乐是“一种融合了爵士风格的电子音乐，具有都市感、现代感和原始感”，这张专辑让这些元素得以闪耀，同时也为参与其中的电子音乐人营造的复杂音景留出了更多空间。像《特殊情谊》和《宁静》这样优美且引人深思的作品，与《冲进风暴》和以丛林节拍驱动的《悬浮》这样充满爆发力、高能量的颂歌相互平衡。当乔吉娅·史密斯的伴唱歌手贝利在悠扬的旋律慢歌《夜幕降临》中自发加入乐队时，又增添了新灵魂乐经典风格的惊喜转折。
这张专辑汇聚了伦敦一些最优秀的爵士和电子音乐人。专辑中有马里西亚·奥苏（竖琴）、詹姆斯·阿克斯（次中音萨克斯风）、丹尼尔·卡西米（低音提琴）、莱尔·巴顿（合成器）和蒂莱·吉奇吉-利佩雷（现场电子乐）——这是一个全明星阵容，其成员曾在康科德、布朗斯伍德、爵士革新、散光等厂牌发行过多张唱片，并与劳拉·米施、努比亚·加西亚、蓝实验室节拍和艾玛-吉恩·萨克雷等艺人有过合作。有三首曲目邀请了贝利和古巴萨克斯风大师雷吉斯·莫利纳参与。
很难想象这张唱片是即兴创作的，因为每一首曲子听起来都像是精心雕琢的杰作，这清楚地证明了阵容中这些令人惊叹的音乐人实力非凡。

Chiminyo is a UK-based jazz/electronic artist and the founder of the new label NRG Discs (having previously released on Brownswood, Nightdreamer, Gearbox, and Astigmatic, with artists such as Gary Bartz, Shabaka Hutchings, Maisha, Nubya Garcia, Cykada, Uniri, as well as solo). Chiminyo is a versatile musician who blends the raw energy of live drums and percussion with cutting-edge electronic production.
His early solo releases showcased his knack for unique approaches to making music, using self-coded software to trigger synths and samples from every cymbal crash and drum hit, eliminating loops and click-tracks. This DIY, tech-driven methodology allowed Chiminyo complete, spontaneous control over his music—all from the stool behind his drum kit—creating a sound that is both daring and innovative.
Chiminyo's latest project, NRG, continues this trend of innovative thinking. Born from discussions around the UK jazz scene, Chiminyo concluded that this musical expression is less about "jazz" and more about the energy (NRG) that fuels it. As a result, NRG has evolved into a semi-regular event where Chiminyo brings together some of London's finest musicians for live, improvised performances that encapsulate the spirit of the scene. These live recordings are then given the magic production treatment by Chiminyo and co-producer Aviv Cohen, transforming them into the masterpieces we get to hear on wax.
NRG 4 is a powerful, cinematic journey. Jazzwise Magazine reviewed the concert as having 'a jazz-infused electronic sound that was urban, modern, and raw', and the album allows these elements to shine whilst giving more space to the soundscaped intricacy of the electronic musicians involved. Beautiful, reflective pieces such as 'Sonder' and 'Serenity' are balanced by explosive, high-octane anthems such as 'Into The Storm' and the jungle beat driven 'Levitate'. A pleasing twist of neo-soul class is added when Jorja Smith's backing vocalist, BAELY, spontaneously joins the band on the soaring melodic slow jam, 'Nightfall'.
This album brings together some of the best jazz and electronic musicians in London. The album features Marisia Osu (harp), James Akers (tenor saxophone), Daniel Casimir (double bass), Lyle Barton (synthesizers), and Tilé Gichigi-Liperé (live electronics)—an all-star lineup whose members have released multiple records on Concord, Brownswood, Jazz Re:freshed, Astigmatic and more, and have collaborated with artists such as Laura Misch, Nubya Garcia, Blue Lab Beats and Emma-Jean Thackray. Three tracks are graced with features from BAELY and Cuban saxophone maestro Regis Molina.
It is incredible to think this record is improvised, because each tune comes across as a carefully sculpted master-piece, a clear testament to the incredible musicians on the line-up.

1 Luminescence
2 Sonder
3 Into The Storm
