FLAPD15:
That Peruvian Boy - "The Head Nod EP Vol. 2"

A. Keep It Rockin
B. Connection
C. The Vibe

Flapjack Records digital is back again with another breakfast creation from Glasgow's That Peruvian Boy.  Returning with his new EP, "The Head Nod EP Vol. 2", he gives us another slice of that delicious style which established him on the Flapjack Records menu.  This time around the Peruvian boy wonder is using the whole stick of butter, trimming no fat, and packing in every calorie of jack that he can.

Grab yourself a seat and make sure your stomach is empty as you suck down a glass full of "Keep It Rockin".  Next to a double chocolate malt drizzled with peanut butter, this tune cannot make you any fatter.  The tune slurps up the solid beats, buttery bass line, and a deep jackin swirl of whipped cream to top off the mix.  As it claims, this jam will definitely keep a sugery dance floor slammin.

Sometimes those special moments happen on a really hopping late night sweaty dance floor.  You end up locking eyes with a beautiful lady, and you get this feeling inside.  You think, oh my god I can spend the rest of my life with this person, and then you realize, nope, I think I'm just hungry and damn this track is really dope.  That is exactly the feeling you get when you listen to "Connection".

To finish off That Peruvian Boy's two volume set is a nice vibey tune coincidentally titled "The Vibe".  Sticking to the roof of your mouth like peanut butter, this track provides a long lasting lickety treat.  It's a great way to conclude such a delectable dish, leaving you with a great after taste.  If you want that long lasting freshness, get with "The Head Nod EP Vol. 2".

Flapjack Records is crazy cookin:
FLAP009:
Emil Lanne
"The Cookin In Brooklyn EP"

A1. Blow Your Horn
A2. Hey Gurl
B1. Do Me Right
B2. Party Hardy

Flapjack Records is back with its 9th vinyl release!  This next installment of Flapjack's tasty tantalizing delights is from Swedish meatball maker Emil Lanne.  Born in Sweden, now residing in Brooklyn, NY, Emil has brought his family's super secret meatball recipe to the states only to improve upon it and tap into its creative power.  It has been said this his family meatballs were the muse of the great Beethoven and DJ Super Greg.  He has used them to dazzle us with his brand new meaty goodness of a record "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP".

The first joint really goes well with potatoes.  "Blow Your Horn" has dance floor sauce spooned all over it, making your ears water.  Everything from the funky groove, filtered horn, and the driving vocal, this tune is shaker and a mover of meaty proportions.

"Hey Gurl", has that amazing favorite food potential.  Its vocal hook gives you that feeling the first time you bite into some new uncharted dish and think holy shit this could be my new favorite food of all time.  It's seriously that delicious.

"Do Me Right", has all the ingredients that make a meatball quite possibly the best food ever.  The tune has a perfect mix of spices including funky guitar and bass lines, sugary sweet vocals, and meaty beats.  All of this in packed into a bite sized morsel of musical munch.

To round out this meatball explosion, "Party Hardy", is the lingonberries and cream sauce that makes this meatball Swedish.  This ball is filled with more meat packed in funky bass, guitars, keys, and party time breakdown that gets the kitchen cookin!  Don't beat your meat on this one and make sure you grab a bowl full of "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP".

A Flapjack vinyl in the making (FLAP009 to be exact): Coincidental Awesomeness

posted by Frankie J | Sat, August 14 | 1:27 PM | Permalink


So this is a really really really cool coincidence.  I was searching online to get the contact info for the pressing plant where all Flapjack Records releases have been pressed: Archer Record Pressing in Detroit.  During my Google search I happened to notice a video link there with Archer mentioned, so I decided to watch.  The video is of a local Detroit hip hop artist named Waajeed filming how records are pressed while he is getting a 7" made of his own jams.  Mike from Archer is talking him through the process of how the pressings are made first starting with the 12" press. 

COINCIDENTALLY, on the 12" press is FLAP009: Emil Lanne - "The Cookin' In Brooklyn EP" in the middle of being pressed and they use that record and the stampers to show the camera how it all happens.  Then Waajeed holds one of the FLAP009 records to his face and shows some love.  I just thought this was totally awesome to randomly find that....so I really wanted to share that with you :)

Again, as I always say...Thanks so much for all of your continued support!!!  Couldn't do it without you!

FLAP010 : Scrubfish - "The Lutefisk EP" OUT NOW ON VINYL!!!

posted by Frankie J | Tue, August 10 | 1:25 PM | Permalink

FLAP010A.jpgFLAP010B.jpg
Flapjack Records is foamy fishin:
FLAP010:
Scrubfish
"The Lutefisk EP"

A1. The Jazzface
A2. Holla If You Came To Funk
B1. Chop City DJ's - Time To Shake (Scrubfish's Circle K Remix)
B2. Testify To The Soul Provider

Grab your fishin' rod and let's head down to the river and catch us Flapjack Records 10th vinyl release!  Scrubfish attacks us with his first solo EP since his transformation from a fresh water fish to a salt water serpent.  This fresh filet "The Lutefisk EP" is definitely the catch of the day with its super fresh sound.  It's so hot we can't even put a price on it, so it's listed as market value in the price column on the menu.

Reeling in the first round , "The Jazzface" is a boneless cut of the finest fish that melts in your mouth with a drizzle of butter and a wicked bass line.  Jazzy enough for the captain of this ship, and one scurvy dog away from a mutiny on the dancefloor.

"Holla If You Came To Funk" has pirates everywhere on a mad hunt for this booty.  Chock full of funk and fish breath, this jam is cut throat on the dance floor and scales fish faster than a fat kid on a Twinkie.  Watch out for those horns cuz you might go through a few lines try to pull em in.

Next up Scrubbers snags a remix of Chicago boys "Chop City DJ's - Time To Shake (Scrubfish's Circle K Remix)" which is a technologically advanced mechanism to make fish dance.  This remix is so good that it won a guest spot on The Deadliest Catch and went on to win a daytime TV Emmy Award for its small role as background music in The Filet's Of Our Lives.

Filling the quota for this month's catch, "Testify To The Soul Provider" is so plentiful a dish that we have freezer warehouses in Japan filled to the ceiling with its funky fresh groove.  Flash frozen and shipped daily to dance floors all over the world, this jam is to be enjoyed by everyone everywhere.  As nasty as "The Lutefisk EP" tastes, it sounds even nastier out of a banging club system.

FLAPD14: Jackin' Box - "Slap n Tickle EP" OUT NOW EXCLUSIVELY @ STOMPY.COM

posted by Frankie J | Wed, July 28 | 9:32 AM | Permalink

FLAPD14.jpg
Flapjack Records is slap happy to tickle:
FLAPD14:
Jackin' Box
"Slap n Tickle EP"

A. Jazz Bang Part 2
B. Only U
C. The Funk Pump
D. Funky Time

Hot off the entrails of their vinyl debut on Flapjack Records, Jackin' Box duo is back with more funk than you can shake a pixie stick at.  Just when you thought the ice cream truck would be gone for the season, off in the distance you hear the looped sounds which send you running to the curb with any loot you can find, only this time two goofy Brits show up and they are blasting their new Flapjack Digital release the "Slap n Tickle EP".  Their ice cream is good, but not for children.

The EP opens with a brand new take on your favorite flavor from their "Licker License EP""Jazz Bang Part 2" vinyl release, .  You would think a remix would suffice, but no, this is a full on waffle cone with 3 scoops and all the fixins to keep you up all night on a swing house infused sugar high.  You will have ice cream all over you face and a mess down your shirt once you get to stepping to this tune.

I just realized that I totally didn't write anything about the "Only U" track in the release write-up.  What can I say, this track is so dope that nothing even needs to really be said about it.  Buuuuut, now that I'm here I may as well tell you that listening to and playing this track will increase your sexiness by %500. Just put some stank on it!

"The Funk Pump" is what all the kids are doing on the corner after they get their goodies.  It's the super slapping bass that drives the kids into a frenzy and often leaves their tongues stuck to roofs of their mouths.  Stupid kids.  This tune works great after any meal as a delectable desert.

The last lick of this sugary sweet EP is a tune called "Funky Time".  This is the kind of time you will be having in your pants after you jive to this lickory lip soother.  Something about good house music that makes you have to crap...must jar something loose.  But it's nothing that a little bit more of the "Slap n Tickle EP" can't remedy.

This digital release is now available exclusively at:

Flapjack Records is too sexy to savor:
FLAP008:
South Of Roosevelt
"La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe"

A1. Everybody Loves (Vocal Mix)
A2. Everybody Loves (Dub Mix)
B1. Boom
B2. Yo Mama

Chicago based Flapjack Records next vinyl edition gives us Chicago's own new kids in the kitchen South Of Roosevelt sizzling us with their sexy new EP entitled "La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe".  These guys may be wet behind the skillet so to speak, but after you grab a mouthful of this tantalizing new piece of wax, you will be left with your pants around your ankles salivating for more.

Feast your eyes on the main course "Everybody Loves (Vocal Mix)" which is a sexy swinging jazz cut made from top choice grade A filet mignon.  It's a mouth watering dish full of fresh flavor that lasts well after the club closes.

"Everybody Loves (Dub Mix)" takes the cake and eats it too.  This mix is a jackin sax jam based on the original but with some spice that's really nice.  It's a play on the original that caters to those who like to get down.

For the second course, dig into a phat fork full of "Boom" which does exactly what it says.  This tune just slams with an up n bumping saxophone funk salad that fills you up but keeps you light on your feet on the dance floor.

Finish off this feast with "Yo Mama", which is a hilarious hail to Chicago and LA, complete with a string of yo mama jokes that will keep you rolling and scratchin up in the dance hall.  This release is a straight up Chicago fine dining experience that you won't want to miss.

For the entire month of June I was touring the beautiful country of Italy.  I drove all throughout the country from Rome through Umbria, Tuscany, the mountains of Garfagnana, all the way to the beautiful coast towns of Cinque Terre.  I had no access to a computer and it was fantastic.  The trip totally reset my brain, refreshed my soul, and gave me a really nice tan :)

SO....now I am back at it and there are plenty of great things on the way.  Here is the scoop:

-FLAP008: South Of Roosevelt - "La Legende Du Chaton De Sexe" will be dropping digitally in the next week or so

-FLAP009: Emil Lanne - "Cookin' In Brooklyn" will be dropping on vinyl in the next week or so

-FLAPD14: Jackin' Box - "Slap 'n' Tickle EP" will be dropping digitally as well in the next couple of weeks.

FLAPD13
That Peruvian Boy
"The Head Nod EP Vol. 1"

A. How We Do It
B. Free Your Mind
C. So Hot


Flapjack Records digital releases has finally reached lucky #13 and to celebrate this, we present a phat strawberry cream filled release by Peruvian pie maker That Peruvian Boy, who hails from Glasgow oddly enough.  Previously known for his restaurant management skills under the Cheap As Chimps moniker, That Peruvian Boy has smoothed out his pallet and has put together quite a collection of tasty pastry pumpers on his first of two new EP's coming on Flapjack Digital.  "The Head Nod EP Vol. 1" caters to caterers everywhere with three new pie slamma jamma creations that go for the win.

Don't waste time with a fork or a spoon and just shove a piece of "How We Do It" right in your earhole.  This is the jam ladies and gentlemen.  The gem in the donut for all of those who like phat house jams.  Low bass tones, and moving beats, mixed together to create a sweetness that can't be mimicked by no Splenda alternative.  This is the real deal.

For those who favor savory over sweet, a giant slice of "Free Your Mind" is just right to satisfy your house cravings.  Smooth silky chords, delicate, flaky, crusty beats, and a deep bass center always hits the spot.  This slice is winning over the ears and stomachs of house dj's across the world and leaving none dissatisfied.

The last offering that that that That Peruvian Boy has to offer is a spicy treat called "So Hot".  A slice of this with some Frank's Red Hot sauce will burn good on the way in, and burn on the way out as well if you know what I mean.  But yeah, I put that shit on everything.  Come and get your fill and phatten up your dj bag with the goods that satisfy all your house music cravings.

This digital release is now available exclusively at:
