July 2009 Archives


I went to our pressing plant's website to grab their phone number so I could check with them on how FLAP003 was coming along and saw they had this cool little video about the place. This is Archer Records, Detroit, where all of Spatula City and Flapjack Records vinyl comes from. The guy you hear talking is Mike who I deal with all the time making sure everything is on the up n up with our releases. He takes good care of us so I thought it would be nice to support our local pressing plant.

Pressing plants these days are few and far between, but talking with him today he told me business is actually booming right now for them, so they aren't planning on going anywhere.....which is a relief to me, cuz as long as they are around we will be pressing vinyl. Eventually I hope to be able to take a trip up there and see it for myself and try my hand at pressing a record or two! That would be a trip, quite literally!!

Don't be afraid to give them a call, Mike is a really cool and helpful dude! Viva La Vinyl Baby!!!!

Flapjack Records is proud to present:
FLAPD03 - The Flapjack Sampler Platter


A. Sandwich Chris - Music Speaks To All
B. Francis Jilla - Electric Eel
C. Corduroy Mavericks - Break A Dawn
D. Alex RD - Elites


The 3rd edition of Flapjack Digital is upon us!!!  This release is a nice sampler platter of four different delicious delights from some of house music's most promising up 'n' coming producers. 

Sandwich Chris
of the Netherlands hits us with the silky smooth soul grabbin' beater "Music Speaks To All", which has one of the most catchy vocals and sax licks that you will be humming for weeks after hearing it. 

Next up, Francis Jilla known for his smashing records on the famed Guess Who label, returns from a long hiatus to bring us "Electric Eel".  This tune has that anthemy jam squat that only the Jilla ferilla can bring.  "Electric Eel" is a peak time floor smasher that bends you till you break. 

To round thing out we have the Corduroy Mavericks hailing from Kentucky coming at you with a real summertime ice cream cone of a jam.  "Break A Dawn" has got that good time feel with its light hearted groove with fun feeling vocals.  This tune is destined to be a summertime favorite. 

Last but not least is Alex RD from Germany bringing us back to that snappin UK Garage sound.  "Elites" is a fantastically produced tune with that signature 4x4 UK Garage sound chock full of key stabs all around the sound sphere and pounding sub bass underneath it.  Simply a great track to round out this versatile sampler release.  There is something for everyone is this release, so don't be shy and come and grab yourself a stack o' fun!!

This release will be availabe soon at the following locations:
Stompy | Traxsource | Primal
