Description of JFB vs Swing Republic Social Know How / Drum Boogie

JFB, 2 x UK DMC Champion, has emerged as one of Brighton's best underground music exports, remixing fellow Brightonian, superstar DJ FATBOY SLIM and playing alongside BEARDYMAN at the prestigious BIG BEACH BOUTIQUE as well as creating a string of cutting-edge independent releases most recently on the dub-step scene. This split 12" offers a double dub-step twist on Freshly Squeezed's already well-established electro-swing sound. VERY LIMITED EDITION. These will fly.

Artist:Jem Stone
Title:Perpetual Lotion EP
Label:Freshly Squeezed
Jem Stone's unique take on any genre is always compelling and highly individual. He made an impressive and memorable contribution to the early days of electro swing with the break-beat, dance-floor-filling flavors of his debut release on Freshly Squeezed, the Electric Circus EP (2010).

Now Jem returns with a perfectly timed and unexpectedly fresh twist on a sound that has sometimes, in less skilled hands, become formulaic in it's swift rise. The Perpetual Lotion EP raises the bar once again and opens up many new possibilities. This record will change the future direction of electro swing!

Here the 1920s and 30s samples aren't just backed by a house beat, but given such a distorting twist the whole has become something else entirely. The EP is slower and darker than before with brooding bass and deeper production that adds a vital contemporary edge.

As before, look out for the accompanying animations on YouTube - www.youtube.com/jemstonemusic - and in particular Jem's full-length album later in 2011.
