EP 5 contains four classic tracks from Northern Europe compiled by
the master distiller Jacques Laverne with a rare 2003 vintage.
First up on the A side are Beatphreak who are the self proclaimed
breakbeat and bass junkies are Jason Holmes DJ and Producer and
Django Programmer engineer.Beatphreak are based up in Lancaster
have DJ'd throughout the UK and Europe including 333 and have
represented the Fat City crew for many years. They construct a
mixture of turntablism, funky breaks and DJ sets mixing up crispy
cuts and fat bass licks digging in the crates of hip hop and funks
rich history. Jason Holmes has been a regular DJ at Manchester's
Friends and Family club and Beatphreak remixed Case 358 by Ben Horn
on the last release from Jacques Laverne.
We are delighted that they are releasing Gospel Nights and Soul
Power with us and they have also added a chunky remix for the B
side. On the flip side are Danish based Blue Foundation with their
rare and unique blend of dark massive beats and deep abstract
soundscapes. Blue Foundation are Tobi, Kir, Bo Rande, Japanese DJ
Tatsuki and slam poet MC Jabber. Bassment is a haunting
instrumental, where as track 2 Old days is a more uptempo affair
which would grace any dancefloor.
Blue Foundation have released material before on April records and
Moshi Moshi and were part of the infamous Jack To Phono release
which launched jacques Laverne Records back in 2001 with the track
Abstract Movement part 2. Back in the native Denmark they are very
well established and have played Roskilde Festival and were also
touring Japan back in 2001 with big praise from DJ Krush and the
Kyoto Jazz Massive. They have been part of the Scandinavian skate
scene for the last five years and DJ Tatsuki is currently on tour
in Japan- Both Beatphreak and Blue Foundation have been guests of
the Copenhagen's influx parties on more than one occasion which
makes this release all the more sweeter!
This is the fifth EP in the series and follows Jack to Phono,
Folklore and Fairytale, The Currymints and Adventures In Aural
Pleasures. This release will lead into the CD compilation in the
the near future. The past EPs have been supported by the likes of
Andy Weatherall, Groove Armarda, Mr Scruff, Rob Da Bank, Chris
Coco, Quantic, Rob Luis, XFM and Bonobo so not bad then!
