Jamie Woon – Wayfaring Stranger EP

Jamie Woon, a 23-year-old modernist soul talent is vast getting a reputation for melting rooms with his unique voice, acoustic guitar and Loopstation. Jamie’s hypnotic, all-vocal interpretation of lost-in-time folksong Warfaring Stranger gives a nod to the past, and a funked-up wave to the future, as dubstep hotshot Burial steps up with a beautifully dark and evocative remix.

Shaped by old soul and folk as much as electronica, Woon draws on influences as diverse as Prince and Thom Yorke. He has established a massive live reputation through his own monthly event, OneTaste, tireless gigging around the country and a mega-vibrant profile on the MySpace community. There is real depth to his voice, equally at home singing acapella as it is bolstered by the latest street soul production – as heard on the Stitch remix.
