Audiojack At Juno Download

Review: Audiojack goes back to the old school for this release. "No Rest for the Wicked" may have the benefit of modern day production techniques, but at its heart is a timeless progressive house bassline and insistent piano keys that are reminiscent of "Plastic Dreams". HOSH's remix gives the keys that shimmering feeling that Derrick May's productions used to exude and Luna City Express's version opts for a more tribal take. However, it's Audiojack's own "Mind Games" that impresses most with its humming bass, 'life' vocal sample and emotive techno chords last heard on classic Inner City releases like "Good Life". Get into it!

Review: Given the 1990s style 20:20 Vision label artwork employed on this release, it would be safe to say that Audiojack have gained plenty of inspiration from the Leeds' imprint's now distant past. From start to finish, the Get Serious EP sounds like the sort of record that could have been made in the 1990s by the label's trio of founders - Huggy, Ralph Lawson and Carl Finlow. With clear influences from Prescription Records, early tech-house, bumpin' New York grooves and dubby Nottingham deep house, Audiojack have made an EP that sounds both curiously current and decidedly old. It certainly makes for an entertaining four-tracker.
