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.

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".

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.

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.

Flapjack Records has shaken, zipped, and is ready to wash:
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.

FLAP007: Jackin' Box - "Licker License EP" OUT NOW DIGITALLY EXCLUSIVELY @ BEATPORT

2010-05-25T14:11:00Z

Flapjack Records is feeling lovely to lick:

FLAP007:
Jackin' Box - "Licker License EP"

A1. Jazz Bang
A2. Clap Your Hands Together
B1. Right Back Jack
B2. Do It Some More

And the beat goes on as Flapjack Records 7th vinyl release beats the prohibition laws and is distributed to gin joints around the globe. This big whiskey is brought to you by UK of age and already heavy drinkers Jackin' Box. After many hangovers and oak barrel mishaps, the duo concocted the "Licker License EP" which hits hard in the chest and burns all the way down.

The first shot is the speak easy hit "Jazz Bang". This tune is exactly what it says. Jazz and Bang all packed into a tight little drink we called house track.

"Clap Your Hands Together" is exactly what you will do after you suck down a 4 finger glass of this potent potion. The nose on this drink is through the roof and will find you sloshed on the dance floor making eyes at the plant in the corner.

The third drink "Right Back Jack", has a rejuvenating hip hop classic taste to it. It is memories in a glass and enough of them may make you travel back in time. Well at least that's what I call getting drunk: time travel.

The last sip, "Do It Some More", is the Alcoholics Anonymous group theme song. Once you hit this bottle you will be back on the wonder wagon with 3 wheels and two broken axels, but it will be a wicked good ride none the less. So don't be modest and drink up a good swill of the "Licker License EP" before the bottle is empty.

FLAPD12: The House Inspectors - "Sliced n Diced EP" OUT NOW EXCLUSIVELY @ TRAXSOURCE

2010-05-05T15:33:31Z

Flapjack Records has sliced and ready to serve:
FLAPD12:
The House Inspectors
"Sliced n Diced EP"

A. All The Love ft. Adaja Black
B. Someway
C. Someway (Frankie J Bad Bwoy Bump)
D. Pickin' Up The Pieces

Flapjack Records takes us back over to Australia to meet up with Adelaide's house music's new food critics The House Inspectors. After much criticism I heard these guys made Tim Tams famous. These guys haven't been at it for that long, but have some kind of uber refined palette when it comes to fine house music creations. You can get a taste of what I am blabbering about with their new "Sliced n Diced EP" out now on Flapjack Records.

The first bit on the checklist is the soulfoodful tune "All The Love" ft. all star vocalist and sous chef Adaja Black. A good mouthful of this tune rolls off the tongue with it's amazingly tasty hook vocal that will make you sing praises to the gods who created taste buds, and sexy house music. This tune gives me a big rubbery one just thinking about it. Nothing some whipped cream couldn't stifle.

Next up is another soulfire skillet of house music munch called "Someway" which grabs you right in the pit of your stomach and makes you salivate like a dog. It's delicious vocal will get you singing and doing that goofy dance that little kids do when they have had too much sugar. You won't need any Red Bull to get you going when you hear this tune.

Not only to quench your thirst, but also double as a smooth laxative, Frankie J butters up "Someway" with his "Bad Bwoy Bump" remix. This tune has some bass that will rumble through to your bowels and clean your colon better than any store bought laxative could.

The last bit on the list is a plate of funk steak called "Pickin Up The Pieces". This bit grabs you right in the money and feeds the ravenous dogs of your burning loins with its up n jumping thump. A perfect beat for a treat.

FLAP006: Mark & Stevens - "Discorder" OUT NOW DIGITALLY EXCLUSIVELY @ STOMPY.COM

2010-04-20T15:35:14Z

Flapjack Records is surly to sip:

FLAP006:
Mark & Stevens - "Discorder"

A1. This Is The Life
A2. Discopetry
B1. I Like To Be Me
B2. Everybody Funk

Flapjack Records graduates to it's 6th vinyl release by getting knee deep in the beat kitchen with Lisboa, Portugal's new jacks Mark & Stevens. These two gifted groovesmiths have such a refined palette when it comes to digging deep but staying staying way above ground. Their first EP "Discorder" is like a sweet port wine that you swish all around your mouth because the taste is so delicious you don't want to swallow. Then when you eventually do swallow, you find out that the after taste is even better.

The first sip is the soul grabber "This Is The Life". This tune is built on a nice n deep funk body, with a vocal that you will be singing all the way to the winery and back. It pairs well with almost any meal and lingers.

"Discopetry" is the confirmation that what you just tasted is the really as good as your taste buds just told you it was. Slip into the smooth comfort of some deep disco vibes as you sip your way into the groove of this EP.

The third sip "I Like To Be Me", is like heaven on your taste buds. By now this EP has really gotten to your head, and this tune is the sip that makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over.

The last sip, "Everybody Funk", is the one that sends you into a frenzy and looking for more. The great thing about this record is that it never runs out, unlike a fine bottle of port. But like port, this EP is even more amazing with some dark chocolate.

FLAPD11: The Sound Diggers - "Grab A Shovel EP" OUT NOW DIGITALLY EVERYWHERE

2010-04-14T15:00:45Z

Flapjack Records is dirty to dig:
FLAPD11:
The Sound Diggers - "Grab A Shovel EP"

A. Funk Struck
B. Groove To It
C. The Jizz Jacka
D. The Jizz Jacka (PO!NTF!VE's Rub-It-Out)

Flapjack Records get down and dirty making mud pies with UK corner store hooligans The Sound Diggers. Their debut EP on Flapjack Digital "Grab A Shovel EP" lends to the filthy house music stylings and bad table manners that have gotten them banned from many restaurants across the globe. Just because you play dirty doesn't mean that your taste isnt exquisite though. The "Grab A Shovel EP" proves just that with its wide array of palette pleasing pleasures.

The EP breaks ground with the dirty bass line banger "Funk Struck". This tune makes bass bins everywhere shit their pants. If you can imagine what that looks like and sounds like, then internally you may lose your lunch, but aurally you will cream out your ears.

The second dig is wicked funky space time continuum jam "Groove To It". The Sound Diggers shovel up a bunch of funk onto a silver platter of bounce seasoned with some nasty good booty shake and a garnish of get the hell up and dance. Don't worry though because after a plate of this you will still have room for some more.

The next pile is a mound of "The Jizz Jacka". Some smooth jazz all over your face is necessary to healthy skin. This tune provides not only a nutritious meal, but a slice of silky smoothness that makes you want to rub all up.

The final shovel full leaves you with Jeff Blooms take on "The Jizz Jacka (PO!NTF!VEs Rub-It-Out Mix)". With some added scat ingredients and crushed red beats, Jeff works up a steam filled kitchen frenzy. His spice is oh so nice and leaves this EP with a hotness on the tongue, not to mistake pleasure from pain.

This release is available NOW for download at:

FLAPD10: Pete Le Freq - "The Dalai Llama EP" OUT NOW EVERWHERE @ Reg. Price

2010-03-31T18:40:23Z

Flapjack Records is slurpy to spit:

FLAPD10:
Pete Le Freq - "The Dalai Llama EP"

A. Indecisive
B. Dubby Goo To Me
C. Own Thing
D. Maybe Eat

Flapjack Records jumps across the pond once again to a land where "flapjacks" aren't synonymous with pancakes. To explain this phenomenon we turn to native Pete Le Freq to find solace in his new EP "The Dalai Llama EP". Pete Le Freq, the man behind the Llama Farm imprint has been battering up dance floors with jackin animal style beats for some time now. When I say "animal style", I am not talking about the secret items on the In & Out Burger menu, but his natural animal instincts that lead him to such buttery bass lines and flapjackin beats.

The first cut "Indecisive" is as tantalizing to the dance floor taste buds as a melted butter and maple syrup all slippery and delicious over a plate of flapjacks. If you are feeling indecisive about this tune, the bass line and vocal alone will change your mind.

In round two we add another whole stick of bass line butter to the batter with "Dubby Goo To Me". Pete's penchant for bass continues as this tune really works it out. This tunes fresh beets, buttery bass, and a delicious vocal topping are surely to leave some messy stains on the dance floor.

"Own Thing" is a nice phat slice of the UK house sound. Pete serves up an over sized piece of that smooth but jackin with a bit of tech sauce sound that our UK comrades do so well. I always like to add a little bit of some warble in my synth reduction.

Last but not least is the suggestive "Maybe Eat". I think I will, thank you very much. This delicious drop comes again with the funky bass line bizness and the famous "can you dance to my beat" vocal. Hungry dance floors will surely jump at this tasty morsel.
