"Loving this new bumpy weird fairground ride smith & hack stylee" Sasha

"Elite Force’s eclectic, but always pounding, U&A Recordings lets fly another belting remix package with the allusive Zodiac Cartel once again turning up and running away with the show. His mix of ‘Jack the Joint’ is one hell of a filthy, groovin’ monster, which is how stomping, head down and ankle deep in mud would sound if it were a noise instead of a scenario…hmm... Ok, also Deepgroove turn in another nice version which is a little less sludgy, but pleasing all the same, and we also have a cut from Introspective who sit somewhere in the middle, with their pulsating big bassline interpretation."

THE LOWDOWN

After a brief, summer breather, the U&A Empire strikes back, light-sabres at the ready, with the next in their series of untouchable re-works of classics from the Elite Force vaults. Under the remixers' scalpels this time, is ‘Jack The Joint’, the bumping acid-house driven epic that originally appeared on the Kingsize imprint back in 2003. Whilst the original still oozes a timeless charm thanks to the ubiquitous, bubbling 303s and euphoric strings, the re-workings take us into fresh, uncharted territory, stretching the original into fresh & fascinating forms.

First up is self-confessed ‘House head with a Techno soul’, Zodiac Cartel, who has been in great demand from the likes of Instereo, Cubism, Coco Machete, Wearhouse & TCR of late, following on from his massive reworking of Elite Force’s ‘Used & Abused’ from late last year. His reworkings of Jack the Joiny, both take different courses, with the Bumpin’ Mix crafting an epic, fidget-orientated journey through the world of the JACK (this mix has already appeared on Meat Katie’s recent ‘Sessions’ mix album), whilst the Flowin’ Mix will appeal to those looking for a smoother form of filth, pulsing as it does right to the wire (this one is to be exclusively available from Beatport).

Next up are Deepgroove who need no introduction, having been the darlings of the new-school-of-house-music for a number of years now with releases on Jesse Rose’s Made to Play, Alter Ego’s Klang Elektronik and Darren Emerson’s Underwater imprints. They take the original twist the Jack into new late-night forms with their heads-down take on a deeper groove.

Last but not least, Tech-Funker uber-kid and Ministry of Sound / Sinister darling Introspective, comes correct with what is surely his most engaging and complete work yet. In a huge big-room electro-house mix he conjours up an epic remix with grinding basslines and huge, emotive breakdowns that is sure to get jaws dropping & floors burning.
