in spring of 2006, jackpot began to fester in a stockholm apartment. without fresh air or natural light, the group developed its uniquely mutant strain of italo disco mixed with early 80s body music aided only by the sickly blue rays of late night tv. while the jackhammer rhythms of their music were proliferating in stockholm, jackpot dove into the deepest recesses of the electronic dance music psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses - their own unmistakable sound - the sound of western culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. as late night sci fi reruns colored the room, jackpot also picked and chose amongst the psychotic debris of previous eras - the movies of kenneth anger, the music of suicide, velvet underground and bruce haack, the words of william s burroughs. and then they added the junkiest element of all - themselves. after two critically acclaimed records, the third chapter of the jackpot saga is about to be told. its called greased lightning (also features remix work from such talents as in flagranti and rory phillips). you hear that beat? thats them knocking on your door.

chanty poe return with this colossal double header featuring the vocal talents of miss oddkidd and c. monts, a whole bunch of party starting remixes, and brand spanking new dancefloor bomb bass invader.

first release in the funky house acapella series!!

back to back killer selection and re works from one of frances hypest dj of the moment. smart re edits of these two hard to find slices of funk wax. original pressings reach stupid prices on ebay like sites... smiling is a belgium disco funk that very few know about. original version going from time to time very cheesy, it really needed a re edit to reach a much deserved club exposure. jammaster is a pretty sought after chicago funk classic, but strangely enough it got a very particular new jersey feel to it, even recalling some early blaze tracks... played and playlisted with the likes of dj cam, inflagranti, orest, pilooski...

originally from columbus, ohio and now residing in new york city, myungho choi issues four new tracks on a touch of class. on these four dizzying tracks, choi again powers his stampeding funk grooves, ecstatic voices, and somersaulting rhodes melodies with classic soul bass lines. his stoked mix of soul, jazz, and house proves exhilarating in the steaming strutter lovin you today and high velocity disco anthem shakin bricks. less aerodynamic and earthier by comparison, the low slung party funk groove in how long till dawn would sound perfectly at home in a parliament funkadelic set, especially when voices chant shake and havin fun and horns blaze over a steaming stomp. the closer we aint leaving revisits the benson funk style of moment by moment by looping a guitar vocal fragment over a relentless minimal disco pulse. this ep. is without a doubt a true disco house infection and a definite one for the dance floor, which is not to be missed.

this anthemic tune from kerri chandler with blaze vocalist arnold jarvis gets a fresh makeover by ny masters of jazz-inflected deephouse remixes of r&b hits

supported by brett johnson, woody, dj t, chris duckenfield and laurent garnier !! >the last shooter< uses mind bending funk to tell the story of three people ending an epic day/night in a blaze of jagermeister glory. the most descriptive element of this tracky adventure would be the misguided, off kilter synth twists that give the listener the illusion of drunkenness and vertigo. backed with a spine of latin percussion and tweaked low rez hi hats this a side packs a punch that can be only compared to >the last shooter< of the night.funk flows on when you flip it to side b. fongtom rides along with a thick walking bass line that weaves grinds with some of ferreyras signature percussion. a playful melody serves as the memory game hook that wont fade away even after a post joint meltdown or a night of mtv top 40 abuse

legendary house slammer (blaze - to my beat) gets the freshest 2007 wonky hard techno treatment

cynic returns with a great 12inch of disco tastic madness. the grooves are loose, the riffs low slung and the beats punchy. just the kind of stuff we re used to hear from the cynic stable. proper bomb. this e.p features three hot tracks in a tribute to the sundance kid, the a side the sundance kid, comes complete with galloping horses, rattlesnakes and gunshots this track is the wild west meets the mirror ball. the first track on the b side westbound 23, is named after the first train robbery that the sundance kid committed in his early years before he joined the wild bunch, the blaze of glory that finishes the e.p. is a reference to the well documented last stand, where butch cassidy and the sundance kid were surrounded by the bolivian army

darauf kann man sich verlassen: wo joey negro draufsteht, ist tanzmusik drin. seit der 13-jŠhrige david russell lee 1977 in einer tv-sendung den song -boogie nights- von heatwave hšrte, ist er vom disco-virus infiziert. und den ist er bis heute nicht mehr losgeworden. obwohl -produced with love- erst sein zweites eigenstŠndiges album nach -universe of love- von 1993 ist, hat joey negro in den vergangenen dekaden mŠchtige spuren im dance-bereich hinterlassen. nicht nur produzierte er zahlreiche chartbreaker, dancefloor-kracher und remixe unter diversen pseudonymen (jakatta, raven maize, doug willis, prospect park u.v.a.m.), vor allem war er fŸr grace jones, diana ross, deep dish, lionel richie, mariah carey, tears for fears, ultra nate, masters at work, roy ayers, blaze und roger sanchez aktiv. hinzu kommen kollaborationswerke, bandprojekte und eine reihe herausragender kompilationen wie die -house masters-- serie, -remixed with love-, -disco not disco- oder -kings of house-. kurz: ob mainstream oder underground, joey negro ist ein mann der superlative, bei dem einfach jeder beat, jedes hook und jeder loop perfekt sitzt.

there arenÕt many artists that can lay claim to having put out records on labels as divergent as rough trade and john talabotÕs hivern discs. perhaps this is because few artists express such genuine diversity in their musical tastes and creative explorations as david kitt. since the turn of the decade as new jackson he has mined a seam of driving, ghostly house to run parallel with his solo strand of ambient folk electronica. his debut release in 2011 the night mail on pogo channeled early record collection heroes aphex twin and orbital through to drexciya and projekt pm but had one foot firmly in the 21st century beaming in like some futuristic cyberballad. on the flip side hussle free had that mix of house and boogie sensibilities with dark and dusty synths and vocoder that would become a signature. this was followed by acclaimed releases on hivern, permanent vacation, major problems, apartment and most recently cin cin. his debut album set for release on all city in may was recorded in kittÕs bedroom studio overlooking dublin bay, its nocturnal hues very much a product of the nightshift often working on headphones with the rest of his housemates fast asleep. it takes full advantage of the scope of the lp format, ebbing and flowing between deep house club ready gems and more restrained and meditative beatless moments for the morning after. the recording process yielded many eureka moments with kitt finally nailing sounds that had hitherto proved elusive.

julius papp presents with this compilation the warm, soulful groove of san francisco, a city famed for its love of hazy, summery deep house. inclusive acapellas, dj tools and his own unreleased edits, blending elements from tracks by the likes of vincent kwok, kerri chandler, dennis ferrer and blaze.

mad decent is proud to announce our very own -mad decent volume 1- compilation, featuring 18 tracks hand selected by our leader diplo from his favorite overlooked remixes of past releases plus a variety of new music from our next crop of artists. the compilation presents a selection of mad decent artist who ve helped shape the labels unique personality since inception. featuring huge new remixes of classics such as bosco delreys -wild one- (reset! remix) and malucas -el tigeraso- (sticky k remix) to unreleased gems like boy 8-bit -house on the hill- and dillon francis -beautician 2.0-, to in your face bangers like ruskos -everyday- (netsky remix). mad decent vol. 1 is as much a showcase of the labels biggest names and tracks as it is an illustration of its incessant efforts to bring new genres and cultures to light. the label has come a long way from the underground philly scene where it all started, collecting a diversified group of artists along the way. from blaqstarr, to rusko, to savage skulls and po po, the sound and influences come from all over the world, and somehow work together to form a unified front of weirdos that make music outside the lines.

boundary-pushing, thrilling, unique: psychedelic horseshit blaze with a vitality reminiscent of fatcat alumni animal collective and black dice in those bands early, wildly creative incipience. laced marks a forward stylistic shift for the band, delivering a coherent set of bustling, hookladen, melted outsider pop songs. keeping a step ahead of the lo-fi scene they christened -shitgaze-, theyve drawn on a broad range of influences instead of the xeroxed anorexia of many of their peers, have ruffled feathers by critically speaking out, and carved out caustic, humorous social commentary.
