Jackie Brown Schallplatten & CDs

Review: This is a red hot new funk 12" for the super cool Jackie Brown label. It features Marcello linking up with Antonio Rapa on drums and Blake C.S. Franchetto on the bass and they are all on fire across these high speed cuts. "Welcome" is tight and driving as you like, with cosmic keys taking flight, "Shark" is more playful and lush with eve more astral vibes and then things take a turn into late night sounds on the golden "Malo Pivo". "Brooklyn" expires the sort of broken beat you'd find in London's underground and "Chilly" closes with rich jazz stylings. Overall, this is an excellent 12".

Review: Croatian producer El Nino Andres is steadily building up an impressive arsenal of disco and deep house heaters on his own Jackie Brown label, having previously been running the Hija De Colombia imprint. On this fourth slab he pushes his sound into even more intriguing places. Opening track "Slow Mo Tuesdays" lets things roll out on a decidedly dusty tip carried by off-kilter drums. "Riviera Blues" stands out thanks to its tough 80s-styled drums and warm soulful melodics. "Low End Massacre" meanwhile gets choppy in the edit and makes a devilishly good job of riding the samples.

Review: Thrid Jackie Brown issue is El Nino Andres tribute to MPC 60 & ASR 10 chopping bits and pieces of soul records - tracks done few years back straight to DAT tapes.

Review: After four volumes of smoking hot disco house business from El Nino, Jackie Brown turn their attention to debutant producer MB22, who understands the party-starting manifesto of the label intrinsically. "Shocked" kicks the record off in a flurry of heated chops and licks, all driven by a nagging hat, and then "Run Sally Run" switches stance to a winsome 80s tinged electro jam, tape-hiss included. "Slick Maneuver" takes things into smooth, boogie-indebted territory and then "Perfection Valley" rounds the record off with the kind of dusty electro funk that Moon B made his name with.
