K’Alexi Shelby – We All Jack

Heattraxx makes its vinyl debut with a love letter to Chicago house, bringing together three generations of its key players. The original ‘We All Jack’ lands in K’Alexi Shelby’s ‘Klassik Mix’, all raw swing, spoken word swagger, and stripped-down drive-an instant nod to the Windy City’s golden era. Sirus Hood reshapes it with the ‘Tropical Mood Mix’, a rolling, sunlit groove built for outdoor systems but anchored in tough Chicago drums. On the flip, The Checkup takes it deeper with the ‘Jackin Mix’, fusing elastic basslines with tight, insistent percussion, while Joe Smooth delivers the ‘Acid Mix’-303 lines curling over a classic four-to-the-floor punch, channeling the spirit of his own ‘Promised Land’ days. Four mixes, one ethos: pure, uncut house energy from its birthplace.
