Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,

Hope you all had happy holidays and hope 2008 is as fruitful for
you as it will be for Jamiroquai. Here's the latest in the first
update for the New Year:

1# Over recent months Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie has been
doing some work with Australian soul/funk band Nude Continuum. Well,
the band have just finished recording their debut album and this
wasn't any ordinary recording - as Derrick did his playing (on two
tracks) at the studios owned and run by ex-Jamiroquai trombonist
Winston Rollins in London whereas the rest of the band were in
Australia.

A news item on the Nude Continuum site (LINK:
http://www.nudecontinuum.com ) writes...

"We've finished tracking the album! We're finally done with the
recording aspect of it. The process came to a close when Derrick
Mckenzie tracked drums for us on 2 songs (Don't Stop the Beat and
Mistake). They will be available to hear online soon, so stay tuned.
He recorded them with Winston Rollins in his private facility -
RedRoom Studios, Chiswick. Although we were still here on the Gold
Coast, Australia, the magic of Skype allowed us to have a video link
up and take part in the recording process. Needless to say Derrick's
playing was fantastic, and Winston's recording was top shelf. You'll
be able to hear the results soon."

If you want to see what goes on during the recording process
there's an interesting recording of a Skype video conference with
James and Freesia in Australia talking with Derrick and Winston and
looking around Winston's London studio available now on YouTube
(LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtEl6rjLBtk&e ).

Samples of the two tracks that Derrick/Winston worked on
(Mistake and Don't Stop the Beat) and available to listen to at
www.nudecontinuum.com. The debut album, entitled "Nightclub of the
Nudist" will be released in the coming months.
