Here is an interview with Sr Mandril for the new album Terragroove – Out Now on Three Sixty.

(REPRESENTING MEXICO IN MONTREAL) “ROLLING STONE” (August 2006) “With an excellent mix of lounge and acid jazz, Sr. Mandril conquered the audience in both presentations at the 27th edition of the Montreal International Jazz Festival 2006…Ramsés Ramírez and Germán González captivated the audience with their music…”

(THIS IS THE SOUND OF MEXICO RIGTH NOW) “FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL DE JAZZ DE MONTREAL” (july 2006) “Sr. Mandril have a goal: merge electro elements with thoroughly live guitar, bass, keys and percussion. The payoff: a crossbreed of acid jazz, ambient, lounge, trip hop and house with latin rythm and flair. This is the sound of Mexico right now”

THE 10 BEST LATIN CD’S OF 2005 “ROLLING STONE” (february 2006) Sr. Mandril..s debut album is considered one of the 10 best releases of 2005 by Rolling Stone latin america.

INTERNATIONAL OVERTUNES “LA TEMPESTAD” (june 2005) “… A happy incoherency between the wild name (Mr. Mandrill) and the ligth and clean sound of these duet. Without bigger instrumental postpodruction paraphernalia, this is a mexican chill out work with international overtunes”.

“DJ CONCEPT “(March 2005) “The debut album of Sr. Mandril shows talent not just on the interpretation and improvitation, but in the creative capacity and the perfect selection of instruments…they have an electronic world beat project worried to select efficiently their collaborators”

The Debut single from Jimmy The Fingers is a positive message to all the girls out there, in a way only Jimmy The Fingers could do. The Single comes with remixes from The Melovskys of Mexico City and Darkhorse from San Francisco.

Look out for the increasingly popular video to the single shot by Steve Glashier at Nothing To See Here productions, with a little help from a lot of friends, and fast becoming a hit on youtube

Born under a bad sign between a rock and a hard place, Jimmy soon hit the skids and took to loitering outside the local chip shop in his cape, playing his demo on an old ghetto blaster whilst scrabbling around for titbits and narrowly avoiding kebab meat thrown at him. Darkhorse of Three Sixty Records heard the tape, found him covered in chips in a nearby ditch, dusted him down, and discovered the kid actually had some talent, taking him on and producing him for release on Three Sixty.

Imagine Prince and Beck fighting over cider, Frank Zappa and Jack Johnson taking bets in the corner, dirty electro’s playing in the background and you’ve got the Jimmy The Fingers sound.

In his youth Jimmy busted out toons with his equally greasy mates under the monikers Superdense Child and Zooface, and as a DJ has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Afrika Bambaata, Radio One’s Breezeblock show, Rahzel, Krafty Kuts, The Herbaliser, Fatboy Slim, Bonobo, and many more. He played keys in bands with Quantic, TM Juke, and Alice Russell from blossoming Brighton label Tru Thoughts. Then he found out he could sing, giving two fingers to the lot of em. Nowadays he works live with Kaoss Pads, synths and a cape. Jimmy The Fingers writes about life as he sees it: a joyous and  just plain silly occasion, marred only by the wonders of temptation and melancholy. His musical stylings ever changing, he’s always one step ahead of the kids.
