traxman – The Jackin EP

This EP of jacked up Windy City house comes direct from the source courtesy of Factory Music Chicago and label boss man TRAXMAN. As such you know what you are going to get, and that’s exactly what you do get: prickly, analogue house tunes that bang the box and come on as raw as they are strong. ‘Da Jack’ is a chattery one with taught and pinging kick drums, ‘Punk Funk’ is a bleepy one with wonky melodies over an elastic bassline and Corkys Punk Out rework of that same tune is an off balance head wrecker for dark warehouses. There is still time for the silky drum loops of ‘Dat Hot Number’ and deeper vibes of ‘Johnny Funk’.
