Audiojack
I first caught wind of Audiojack in a recorded live James Zabiela set. He specifically played the Audiojack remix of Underworld's, Holding the Moth. At first listen (while I was driving) I thought "Shit I need to ID this." And sure enough once I got my hands on this remix it immediately became a staple in my DJ sets.
This is why 9 months later when I got a friendly email from the 2020Vision guys asking if I wouldn't mind doing a review on the debut Audiojack LP I replied yes before I even gave it a listen. So here I am writing this as I am about 30 minutes into the new Audiojack Full Length titled, Radio.
At first listen I've noticed a few things. First off, the album never has a dull moment. There is constant groove and all the tracks uniquely segway into one another.
Radio kicks off the album just right. With a steady bassline and a killer combo of clap-snare. It meets two vinyl slow down effects and ends with the first segway of the album, which is creatively a radio host segment into the second track Disco Gameshow. Again, the bassline is key as it switches into a live sounding bass guitar. It has a great disco vibe with some nice string samples thrown in at random.
Jack the Keys has some mean pianos and starts giving you some hands drums. A preview of things to come which segways into my favorite track of the album, Red Eye. DRUMS.
The album continues this pattern of unique segways but Audiojack clearly thought this album through. The songs vary enough to keep fans of different dance music genres pleased. There is a broad range of sounds but all done logically.
Radio, will keep any listener engaged through it's whole journey. I personally listened to the album in its entirety at 2am.
Audiojack and 2020Vision have been kind enough to let me offer a song off Radio for free. But go and buy yourself the album as just one song does not do it any justice.
Out on 2020Vision.
