'Best Served Chilled' is the second release from Scottish Jazz Award winning Rising Star, Rachel Duns. A jazz inspired, psychedelic drum and bass track with a headbanging riff, ethereal vocals and electric drum feature from rising star Kenny Lyons.

The dreamy, almost meaningless lyrics create an atmosphere of carefreeness which is juxtaposed by the track’s building intensity, culminating in an urgent tenor sax solo.

Recorded at Dystopia Studios, Glasgow

Mixed & Mastered by Jason Shaw

Rachel Duns Bio:

Saxophonist Rachel Duns quickly made a name for herself on the Scottish scene after being named 2021’s ‘Rising Star’ at the Scottish Jazz Awards; supporting Buster Williams in Glasgow and being included in The List Magazine’s 2022 ‘Hot 100’.

With her roots firmly in jazz, Duns’ influences range from blues and soul to the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s. Her powerful tenor sax sound - enhanced by a pedalboard, dreamy vocals and eye-catching stage presence and style make her one to watch.

Duns’ debut single ‘Make Up My Mind’ released in December 2024, amassing numerous plays on JazzFM and BBC Radio 6 in its first week.
