FLAPD14: Jackin' Box - "Slap n Tickle EP" OUT NOW EXCLUSIVELY @ STOMPY.COM

posted by Frankie J | Wed, July 28 | 9:32 AM | Permalink

Flapjack Records is slap happy to tickle:
FLAPD14:
Jackin' Box

"Slap n Tickle EP"

A. Jazz Bang Part 2
B. Only U
C. The Funk Pump
D. Funky Time

Hot off the entrails of their vinyl debut on Flapjack Records, Jackin' Box duo is back with more funk than you can shake a pixie stick at. Just when you thought the ice cream truck would be gone for the season, off in the distance you hear the looped sounds which send you running to the curb with any loot you can find, only this time two goofy Brits show up and they are blasting their new Flapjack Digital release the "Slap n Tickle EP". Their ice cream is good, but not for children.

The EP opens with a brand new take on your favorite flavor from their "Licker License EP""Jazz Bang Part 2" vinyl release, . You would think a remix would suffice, but no, this is a full on waffle cone with 3 scoops and all the fixins to keep you up all night on a swing house infused sugar high. You will have ice cream all over you face and a mess down your shirt once you get to stepping to this tune.

I just realized that I totally didn't write anything about the "Only U" track in the release write-up. What can I say, this track is so dope that nothing even needs to really be said about it. Buuuuut, now that I'm here I may as well tell you that listening to and playing this track will increase your sexiness by %500. Just put some stank on it!

"The Funk Pump" is what all the kids are doing on the corner after they get their goodies. It's the super slapping bass that drives the kids into a frenzy and often leaves their tongues stuck to roofs of their mouths. Stupid kids. This tune works great after any meal as a delectable desert.

The last lick of this sugary sweet EP is a tune called "Funky Time". This is the kind of time you will be having in your pants after you jive to this lickory lip soother. Something about good house music that makes you have to crap...must jar something loose. But it's nothing that a little bit more of the "Slap n Tickle EP" can't remedy.

This digital release is now available exclusively at:

FLAP009: Emil Lanne - "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP" OUT NOW ON VINYL!

posted by Frankie J | Tue, July 20 | 10:25 AM | Permalink

Flapjack Records is crazy cookin:
FLAP009:
Emil Lanne
"The Cookin In Brooklyn EP"

A1. Blow Your Horn
A2. Hey Gurl
B1. Do Me Right
B2. Party Hardy

Flapjack Records is back with its 9th vinyl release! This next installment of Flapjack's tasty tantalizing delights is from Swedish meatball maker Emil Lanne. Born in Sweden, now residing in Brooklyn, NY, Emil has brought his family's super secret meatball recipe to the states only to improve upon it and tap into its creative power. It has been said this his family meatballs were the muse of the great Beethoven and DJ Super Greg. He has used them to dazzle us with his brand new meaty goodness of a record "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP".

The first joint really goes well with potatoes. "Blow Your Horn" has dance floor sauce spooned all over it, making your ears water. Everything from the funky groove, filtered horn, and the driving vocal, this tune is shaker and a mover of meaty proportions.

"Hey Gurl", has that amazing favorite food potential. Its vocal hook gives you that feeling the first time you bite into some new uncharted dish and think holy shit this could be my new favorite food of all time. It's seriously that delicious.

"Do Me Right", has all the ingredients that make a meatball quite possibly the best food ever. The tune has a perfect mix of spices including funky guitar and bass lines, sugary sweet vocals, and meaty beats. All of this in packed into a bite sized morsel of musical munch.

To round out this meatball explosion, "Party Hardy", is the lingonberries and cream sauce that makes this meatball Swedish. This ball is filled with more meat packed in funky bass, guitars, keys, and party time breakdown that gets the kitchen cookin! Don't beat your meat on this one and make sure you grab a bowl full of "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP".

This vinyl release will be available at the following locations:

FLAP008: South Of Roosevelt - "La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe" OUT NOW DIGITALLY EXCLUSIVELY @ STOMPY.COM

Flapjack Records is too sexy to savor:
FLAP008:
South Of Roosevelt
"La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe"

A1. Everybody Loves (Vocal Mix)
A2. Everybody Loves (Dub Mix)
B1. Boom
B2. Yo Mama

Chicago based Flapjack Records next vinyl edition gives us Chicago's own new kids in the kitchen South Of Roosevelt sizzling us with their sexy new EP entitled "La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe". These guys may be wet behind the skillet so to speak, but after you grab a mouthful of this tantalizing new piece of wax, you will be left with your pants around your ankles salivating for more.

Feast your eyes on the main course "Everybody Loves (Vocal Mix)" which is a sexy swinging jazz cut made from top choice grade A filet mignon. It's a mouth watering dish full of fresh flavor that lasts well after the club closes.

"Everybody Loves (Dub Mix)" takes the cake and eats it too. This mix is a jackin sax jam based on the original but with some spice that's really nice. It's a play on the original that caters to those who like to get down.

For the second course, dig into a phat fork full of "Boom" which does exactly what it says. This tune just slams with an up n bumping saxophone funk salad that fills you up but keeps you light on your feet on the dance floor.

Finish off this feast with "Yo Mama", which is a hilarious hail to Chicago and LA, complete with a string of yo mama jokes that will keep you rolling and scratchin up in the dance hall. This release is a straight up Chicago fine dining experience that you won't want to miss.

We are back in business!

For the entire month of June I was touring the beautiful country of Italy. I drove all throughout the country from Rome through Umbria, Tuscany, the mountains of Garfagnana, all the way to the beautiful coast towns of Cinque Terre. I had no access to a computer and it was fantastic. The trip totally reset my brain, refreshed my soul, and gave me a really nice tan :)

SO....now I am back at it and there are plenty of great things on the way. Here is the scoop:

-FLAP008: South Of Roosevelt - "La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe" will be dropping digitally in the next week or so

-FLAP009: Emil Lanne - "Cookin' In Brooklyn" will be dropping on vinyl in the next week or so

-FLAPD14: Jackin' Box - "Slap 'n' Tickle EP" will be dropping digitally as well in the next couple of weeks.

-Flapjack Radio w/ Frankie J will continue as scheduled every Tuesday night from 10 - 11pm CST

Stay locked on Flapjack Records Dot Com for all the exciting news and bits coming up to curb your house music hunger!

Thanks again for everyone's continued support and I'm glad to be back!!!
Cheers,

FLAPD13: That Peruvian Boy - "The Head Nod EP Vol. 1" OUT NOW EXCLUSIVELY @ STOMPY

posted by Frankie J | Wed, May 26 | 10:31 PM | Permalink

Flapjack Records has shaken, zipped, and is ready to wash:
FLAPD13
That Peruvian Boy
"The Head Nod EP Vol. 1"

A. How We Do It
B. Free Your Mind
C. So Hot

Flapjack Records digital releases has finally reached lucky #13 and to celebrate this, we present a phat strawberry cream filled release by Peruvian pie maker That Peruvian Boy, who hails from Glasgow oddly enough. Previously known for his restaurant management skills under the Cheap As Chimps moniker, That Peruvian Boy has smoothed out his pallet and has put together quite a collection of tasty pastry pumpers on his first of two new EP's coming on Flapjack Digital. "The Head Nod EP Vol. 1" caters to caterers everywhere with three new pie slamma jamma creations that go for the win.

Don't waste time with a fork or a spoon and just shove a piece of "How We Do It" right in your earhole. This is the jam ladies and gentlemen. The gem in the donut for all of those who like phat house jams. Low bass tones, and moving beats, mixed together to create a sweetness that can't be mimicked by no Splenda alternative. This is the real deal.

For those who favor savory over sweet, a giant slice of "Free Your Mind" is just right to satisfy your house cravings. Smooth silky chords, delicate, flaky, crusty beats, and a deep bass center always hits the spot. This slice is winning over the ears and stomachs of house dj's across the world and leaving none dissatisfied.

The last offering that that that That Peruvian Boy has to offer is a spicy treat called "So Hot". A slice of this with some Frank's Red Hot sauce will burn good on the way in, and burn on the way out as well if you know what I mean. But yeah, I put that shit on everything. Come and get your fill and phatten up your dj bag with the goods that satisfy all your house music cravings.

FLAP007: Jackin' Box - "Licker License EP" OUT NOW DIGITALLY EXCLUSIVELY @ BEATPORT

posted by Frankie J | Tue, May 25 | 9:11 AM | Permalink

Flapjack Records is feeling lovely to lick:

FLAP007:
Jackin' Box - "Licker License EP"

A1. Jazz Bang
A2. Clap Your Hands Together
B1. Right Back Jack
B2. Do It Some More

And the beat goes on as Flapjack Records 7th vinyl release beats the prohibition laws and is distributed to gin joints around the globe. This big whiskey is brought to you by UK of age and already heavy drinkers Jackin' Box. After many hangovers and oak barrel mishaps, the duo concocted the "Licker License EP" which hits hard in the chest and burns all the way down.

The first shot is the speak easy hit "Jazz Bang". This tune is exactly what it says. Jazz and Bang all packed into a tight little drink we called house track.

"Clap Your Hands Together" is exactly what you will do after you suck down a 4 finger glass of this potent potion. The nose on this drink is through the roof and will find you sloshed on the dance floor making eyes at the plant in the corner.

The third drink "Right Back Jack", has a rejuvenating hip hop classic taste to it. It is memories in a glass and enough of them may make you travel back in time. Well at least that's what I call getting drunk: time travel.

The last sip, "Do It Some More", is the Alcoholics Anonymous group theme song. Once you hit this bottle you will be back on the wonder wagon with 3 wheels and two broken axels, but it will be a wicked good ride none the less. So don't be modest and drink up a good swill of the "Licker License EP" before the bottle is empty.

The digital version of this release is available NOW exclusively at:
Beatport
