Is Chi-Town ready for Jasper James on Chiwax?  Do you play house in Frankfurt? Are you ready to House It Up?  Here are 4-tracks  that go deep and answer these questions are more.


Once you start on 'No Metronome' you can tell that Frankfurt's Chiwax label have found an EP that can sit aside previous releases by 'big heads' like Felipe Gordon (not forgetting his recent collaboration with Bob The Egoist on 'I'm Still The Same Person' (see review HERE), Ron Trent, Steve Bug, Ian Pooley and James himself.

The Glaswegian has be housing it up on Steel City Dance Discs, ESP Institute and other influencial labels since his debut EP release in 2014.

It's been said that 'Do You Play House' sounds a bit 'French Kiss'-era Lil Louis (which it does) but you need to get on the electric funk train of 'Mission 770' and the "retro-futurist Chicago jack" on the title track.
