FLAP018:
That Peruvian Boy – “I Came To Jam EP”

A1. Don’t You Know
A2. Love We Feel
B1. The Jive
B2. Gangsta Slam

The bowels of Flapjack Records are very excited and relieved to push That Peruvian Boy out onto some vinyl.  What a relief!  This new EP is so phat that we thought it might have required a trip to the hospital.  There is no enema strong enough to work this hot piece out.  This would require some dance floor surgery.  “I Cam To Jam EP” is like the signature dish of Peru and works like magic on the dance floor as well as your taste buds.  Here are the simple ingredients that make such an explosive experience:

 

The main squeeze is a carefully stir fired and flambed “Don’t You Know”.  This is the filet mignon of EP that is succulent, fat, and juicy in all respects.  The beats are hoppin, the bass is deep, and the hook is something you want to sink your teeth into over and over again.  The tune is so pleasing to the ear buds that it will make even the sternest of vegans want to bite.

 

Next thing you need to do is toss in some ”Love We Feel” for some intense flavor.  Sautee these in the mix for that added muster of groove.  This is the ingredient that makes the leap from a good mix to a great dish.  Don’t be sparing with this tune either.  Plenty of this will add flavor like a calculator in math class.

 

“The Jive” is like that miracle vegetable that makes the base for everything. It’s the tune you will want in every mix for the next year.  Once you are familiar with this ingredient, without it, your mix, your dish, and your life in general won’t feel as complete.  It’s the difference between whether you brush your teeth before bed.  You either wake up fresh or you don’t.  Your mix will end up the same way, so just be smart and practice good hygiene.

 

The last ingredient is the sugar and spice of the dish.  “Gangsta Slam” really turns out this EP and makes this signature dish amazing.  This tune is no garnish.  Even though it is the last tune on the EP, it will most likely end up as the first tune in many mixes.  The vocal hook and break down push this track to the brink or your taste buds.  It’s got that flavor that is just as amazing as the first time you taste, every single time.  It’s the added spice that completes That Peruvian Boy‘s masterpiece and first vinyl release “I Came To Jam EP”.

Flapjack Digital 028 – We Don’t Sleep EP – Uriah West & Rescue

Flapjack Records has brewed and skewed:
FLAPD28:
Rescue & Uriah West
“We Don’t Sleep EP”

1.        Up All Night
2.       Gotta Do Right
3.       Turn Me On

Flapjack Records welcomes back our old friend Uriah West to the organization, but this time he brought his comrade Rescue along with him. These two Denver, CO short order entrepreneurs have been rocking all night shifts for decades now in the roadside diner of danceable delights.  All the way up here in Chicago, Rescue & Uriah West team up to serve you their “We Don’t Sleep EP” with two creams and a lot of sugar.

Sometimes you feel like a trucker, sometimes you don’t.  When I do, I love to drive up to a dirty old roadside diner and order up a greasy delicious belly buster of a meal.  “Up All Night” is a fine name for such an establishment that you can count on to serve up not only flapjacks, but all manner of greasy delights that let the beats move right through you like a musical laxative.  This is the kind of joint you will find dudes like Rescue & Uriah West working.

Now you “Gotta Do Right” by loosening your belt a notch or just wearing pants with an elastic waistband to these establishments.  The beats are cheap, but come piled thick…and don’t you go worryin ’bout service neither. If Rescue ain’t around he’s probably in the shitter, but Uriah West will be by your tables in a jiff to make sure you have plenty of funk piled high on your groove plate.

If you are really feeling it, then the only thing that is going to be screaming“Turn Me On” is the faucet in the bathroom, cuz you best wash all that mess off your face.  Rescue & Uriah West wouldn’t want you going back out into public looking like your face got painted like an infant in a high chair. These boys will take care of you real good,  make sure you is well fed, and at least one strap is up on your overalls.  You can stop on by the greasy spoon anytime and see em as the “We Don’t Sleep EP” is kind of built out of their motto.  Who else is willing to serve steak ‘n’ eggs, flapjacks, burgers, and beats at any hour day or night?

FLAP 017 – Cow Tippin’ EP – Jackin’ Box

Flapjack Records is greased and ready for:

FLAP017:
Jackin’ Box – “Cow Tippin EP”

A1. Back Up Your Groove Thing
A2. I Like It
B1. How Good
B2. Jack Yo Ass Up

Returning to Flapjack Records vinyl department after a 10 release difference are those lovely UK chaps Jackin’ Box.  To celebrate their return, they present us with the time honored traditional fun filled experience of the “Cow Tippin EP”.  I used to think this may have only been an American past time, but apparently this is an international phenomena.  Not only do we love to eat cows, but we like to fuck with them for fun, by pushing them over while helplessly asleep standing up in a field.  What a total dick move, but is as equal in fun as it is in douche baggery.  So Flapjack commends these boys and the fine jams that have inspired such mindless fun.

If you are big fan of a huge pile grade A angus beef chops, then “Back Up Your Groove Thing” is the fatty patty for you.  This is an all out jam thick with greasy funk.  The slap bass and vocal groove are so good that it raises your cholesterol just hearing the hook.  Watch your phat calorie intake when the synth lead busts.  That shit will not only make paper plates completely transparent, but clean your bass bowels like a colonoscopy on the dance floor.

“I Like It” is exactly what you are going to be saying about this wagyu beef slab.  Thick and juicy all up in the speakers, and it sounds so good it makes your mouth water.  It must be all that massaging these steers get before the dancehall slaughter.  The cut renders like a massage for soul belly.  You will like the taste, but absolutely love the mesmerizing sound.

Being in the land of fat America, I can’t help but think “How Good” burgers are. They are just so damn meaty and tasty delicious just like this next cut.  This is by far one of the best dance floor searing sizzlers Jackin’ Box has cooked up in a while.  This cut just smokes the platter every time.  “How Good” is so damn good that you gain weight just by listening to it.

The last pound of ground chuck funk is a swing blaster called “Jack Yo Ass Up”. Keeping with the times, this joint incorporates fresh flavor with time honored swing house traditions creating an overwhelming sensation of “get yo ass up n dance”.  Don’t worry about the fat and oil content because all you need to know is that it will come out just as wonderfully as it came in.  It’s the circle of trust. You can definitely trust Jackin’ Box to really bring it on this new “Cow Tippin EP”.  The bring it, tip it over, and then run like fat chicks after new years from the cops!
