Flapjack Records

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.

Hey everyone,
I've got 5 copies of the test pressings for this upcoming release which won't be out for a bit.  If you really dig it and want to get the new jams ahead of the gang, you can pick up your copy of this limited test pressing here:

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,
Frankie J

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.

So check dis!

Tonight Karl Almaria, Chris Grant, and myself (Frankie J) are all djing at an undisclosed super secret underground house party that is so top secret that it is special invite only.  Not even the CIA knows anything about this party cuz its that underground.  BUT we will be streaming live video and audio all night long while we all bust out our best new jams and get on with some serious silliness behind the decks like we do!

Tune and stream live:
Tonight Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 @ 8PM

Chicago based label Flapjack Records label owner Frankie J and Chicago's own South Of Roosevelt will be hanging out, djing, buying records, bullshitting, and most likely using the bathroom at this fine establishment.  This special in-store appearance is to celebrate the upcoming and killer new EP forthcoming on Flapjack Records vinyl:
