About this item

Can you believe this is Jacques Greene's debut album? I certainly can't. The LuckyMe founder has been prolific for the last 7 years at least (cue moments of bleary eyed reflection) through work on his pioneering label alongside collaborations with Night Slugs, μ-zig and many more. Practically carrying the baton of neon-lit, futuristic bass music forwards since its inception, the Toronto native crafted a musical blueprint that's inspired a generation who were raised up and looked to hip-hop, RnB, house, techno and of course the countless variations of soundsystem culture that have emerged from the UK. Finally presenting a full bodies long player, the Toronto native respectfully pays tribute to all aspects of club culture, both now and by-gone. Anyone who's lost their shit to repetitive music at some point in their life should be able to identify with the sounds and rhythms on offer here; although not all are not entirely tailored towards club play. Tracks like opener "Fall" shimmer and undulate with all the beauty of a new day, with bursts of futuristic sheen and new industry chaos contained within disc 1's closing track, "Dundas Collapse". There's obviously plenty for the modern dancefloors too, "You Can't Deny" and "Real Time" as likely to soundtrack an epic night at the Warehouse Project as it will garner Saturday night radio play. Greene joins the ranks of other new schoolers, Zomby, Bashmore, Hud Mo and Rustie - able to connect the instruments and sounds of right now to the minds and bodies to the demographic absorbing them. No easy feat when you consider how disparate our modern, post-everything world has become...
