Holy pan
flappin' fun cakes it's Flapjack Digi #6 already!?Thought we'd be clean outta syrup by
now?It's my pleasure to present this
sizzlin' new platter from UK's new jacks Jackin' Box.Well known and prosecuted for stealing boxes
of cereal (hence the name jackin box-es of cereal) they have been enjoying the
perqs of the limelight and also house music stardom from their recent hit "Got
To Get Down" on Control Recordings.If
you dug that then get ready for a fry pan to face jackcident with the boys from
Leeds "Scrilla Villa EP".
First piece
of the pie is thump n bumper called "Oopz".This is my fav on the "Scrilla Villa EP" with the catchiest female vocal
loop and a boompty bassline.Definitely
not a side dish, and best served to a hot n sweaty dancefloor over a pile of
fun.
"Find
Myself" and the "Find Myself (Lost It Found It Mix)" are the gems in the
donuts.These two tunes are like the
delicious marshmellows that turn your cereal milk pink and make it taste like
heaven.Both are great tunes to kick
breakfast off and get people movin in the morning.
Last but not
lunch is "The Get Out".It's a brunch
time bassline egg beater.It's like that
one dish that your mom can only make, but only busts out once a year....only this
is better cuz now it's available all the time.I would totally eat it, but it's really made of 1's and 0's.So don't pass up on this delicacy and be sure
to share this one with the dancefloor cuz they will thank you for it!
This fine Flapjack Digital release is now available at the following locations:

FLAP003 - d-T3ch - "Scholars Make Dollars EP" OUT NOW DIGITALLY w/ Digital Exclusive James Curd Remix!
posted by Frankie J | Fri, October 2 | 1:03 PM | Permalink
Flapjack Records is pleasantly suprised to present:
For the third installment of the Flapjack Records vinyl editions, we have our good buddy from Melbourne -> the one like the d-T3ch!! With a slew of slammin releases on all the happy fun times underground house labels we love, d-T3ch now comes correct with a crackin new release on the Flapjack attack called the "Scholars With Dollars EP".
To kick things off, d-T3ch gives us a very tasty piano jam called "Dusk Til Dawn" that pretty much rocks around the clock. It's peak time piano licks the syrup right off my plate. mmm mmmm, now that be the slammajammalamma!
The second namesake jam is "Scholars Make Dollars", which if that were true...i would be filthy rich and eatin silver dollar pancakes for breakfast every morning. This tune at least makes you feel like a million dollars when you hear it on the dancefloor. It's like the sound of honey to a bee, and it is the bees knees!
On the remix tip, we have in our good buddies Scrubfish & Laurence alongside house phenom Johnny Fiasco to slay a couple remixes of "Dusk Til Dawn". SnL's mix is a solid bassline bumper with plenty of cuts n bruises just like we do in this camp. Johnny's remix is a shake n bake, plenty of bass krush groove to move ya to the egg beater bump....whatever that means. Shak n bake baby! Shake n bake!!!
Flapjack Digital #5 is a special platter returning to the menu, but now with some super funky goodness. This rock solid edition to the Flapjack menu is provided by our returning chef extraordinaire Arco from the Czech Republic. First appearing on the Flapjack Digital debut, Arco set us up with a phatty fried invasion. Now he's back to totally funk up the kitchen.
The first tune on the menu "Soulfood" is a taste bud tingling bit of southern fried funk. The sample ingredient in this bit says it all: "Bobby, why do you like soulfood?....Because it makes me happy." "Music Box", is the tune for all you pallet jackers. With some seriously runnin Rhodes keys, bottom of the basement sub bass, and horny horns, this tune has all the ingredients for dance floor foolishness. Don't forget to take a breath between bites of this one.
To round out this course, Arco gives us a funky disco rockin number called "I Want Your Love". Another head bobbin beat workout. Don't bob your head too much though cuz you'll end up with a plate of food all up in yo face! This EP is so nasty good, though that you better grab a napkin, cuz you are gonna need to wipe yoself!
The 4th Flapjack Digi release is just about fried up. This is a bittersweet end of summertime slammer from Austin, TX's Sun City Hustlers. These boys have been holding it down for Austin and are definiltey "On The Come Up" as they say ;)
The first tune "Get It On" is great funky number lovin' on some vibes.....and not talking about the peace/love/unity hippy vibes....I'm talking about the instrument here. A great vibe hook and some horny horns to keep you jamming on n on
"On The Come Up", the tune in which the EP derives it's name from, is a phatty disco sax track that continues that carries that signature Sun City groove that these boys do so well. Along with some great hip hop vocals and breaks, this tune snaps backs like a combine on corn stalks.
To compliment these two fabulous tunes, Flapjack veteran allstars Arco & Wattie Green stop up to deliver two flapjackin remixes that send this EP up to blue plate special status. Both of them laying down their signature styles on these two tunes which is like the syrup on top of a scrumptious pile of pancakes. mmm mmm, I'm getting phatter just writing about this EP. Come on up and git you sum!
Archer Records Pressing Plant - Where it all happens!
posted by Frankie J | Tue, July 28 | 2:09 PM | Permalink
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!!
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
OUT NOW DIGITALLY!!! FLAP002 - Bryan Jones - "Represent" EP
posted by Frankie J | Mon, April 20 | 7:10 PM | Permalink
Flapjack Records is proud to present the second vinyl release:
The second edition of Flapjack Records is proud to present the return of the Chicago jack himself Bryan Jones. Bryan is back on the jack in full force with this release. Over the years Bryan has released tons of records on every big underground house label you can think of doling out his undeniably jackin' sound. We are proud to present Bryan Jones' fi rst vinyl release in over a year as he returns to the underground house music scene with that signature sound that made him famous all over the world. Now he is back to "Represent".
The title track "Represent" is a perfect start to this EP. It's a smooth jazzin' jacker with a slew of great breakdowns and some deep moving bass that erupts the dance floor. The jazzy guitar hook is tune you will be humming in your head for weeks! This tunes is an excellent introduction and perfect title track for Byan's new EP on Flapjack.
The A2 "Jazz Box" is an absolute tribute to the Chicago jack style that put Bryan Jones on the map. Solid slammin' beats with a relentless rhoads loop that just rips the system. Complete with an all too jackmaster jazzjocki ed bassline make this tune and dance oors go together like peas and carrots, but with more bass.
Flip this fl apjack over for the vocal anthem "I Know You Feel". This one of those feel good sing along bangers that everyone at the party that gets everyone jammin' together. Another signature hook fi lled smash from Bryan.
Last but not least is the funk n sway from Frankie J remix of "I Know You Feel", who heard the original once and couldn't keep his hands out the pot! This is a perfect fi nishing jack attack to round off such an astonishing record.
Watch out for the one like the Wattie Green hailing from Nashville, Tennessee. You are going to hear a lot of amazing super jazzy swinging house floor shakers coming from this kid this year. This is his debut release in the underground house community, and its killer, so lets welcome him with open arms. Stay locked for a full Wattie Green vinyl release on Flapjack as well as a bit on the forthcoming Spatula City Swings release later this year. Don't sleep!!!
Out this week at the following fine digital download sites:
Again thanks so much for all your continued support!!! ;)
