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".

You can grab this release digitally at the following locations:

This vinyl release will be available at the following locations:
Downtown 304 | Juno | Gramaphone

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!

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.
