Me & The Devil (Utah Jazz remix)
You heard it here first: UTAH JAZZ, D&B’s very own “soul prince” (iDJ magazine), is back – and he’s brought only the very best…
After two globe-spanning years touring his remarkable debut LP ‘IT’S A JAZZ THING’, the DJ, producer and remixer extraordinaire returns this summer with his brand new record label and long-playing masterpiece: ‘VINTAGE’.
Joined by a host of stars – including multi-million selling Royksopp vocalist CHELONIS R JONES, drum & bass legend JONNY L (XL Recordings), Soul:R’s MC DRS and jungle dons the mighty RAGGA TWINS – this matchless funk alchemist is set to break new ground once again – and give dancefloors worldwide yet another premium injection of future-funking soul.
Throwaway D&B this is not. This is fine wine matured specially for the head and the feet: rich in spice, sass and soul. Forget the alco-pops and cheap vodka: Utah Jazz deals in VINTAGE…
For when it comes to pedigree, the Jazz is indeed a rare breed: a personal apprentice to D&B’s old masters (ALEX REECE, LTJ BUKEM, BRYAN GEE) whose love for both DJ booth and studio saw him emerge as a pioneer on both fronts over the ensuing decade. Representing some of the most hallowed stables in the game – V RECORDINGS, GOOD LOOKING, HOSPITAL – Luke Wilson has fully lived up to his tag of “drum and bass royalty in the making” (Knowledge magazine), building a devoted following of enthusiasts for his mesmerising compositions and eye-popping DJ skills.
The buzz of anticipation which surrounded the release of Jazz’s debut album ‘IT’S A JAZZ THING’ in the summer of 2008 was entirely justified – yet no one could have foreseen the level of acclaim that awaited. Ranked 2nd in Mixmag’s top D&B albums of the year (behind Ram Records giants CHASE & STATUS, with rock gods PENDULUM coming in 3rd!) the crossover soul-drenched gem delighted both DJs, fans and music lovers across the globe.
Major remixes for WILEY, TRICKY & LETHAL BIZZLE followed soon after the album’s release, along with a host of exotic tour dates which saw Jazz capture legions of admirers from Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Prague, Milan, New York and Athens to Australia & New Zealand – and everywhere inbetween.
The electric versatility of his soulful dancefloor style has made Luke Wilson one of the most sought-after DJs on the international stage. Mixing anything from 1993 LTJ Bukem classics to the latest Sub Focus banger, Utah Jazz is a party-bringer like no other, with one-off dubplates, three-deck mixes and old-skool razzledazzle bursting from his bag of tricks.
And now, from the man responsible for some of the finest liquid-funk in drum & bass history, comes a brand new LP of original dancefloor gold…
Time flies when you’re a pioneering artist making vintage dance music for a global army of appreciators.
…But then that’s what VINTAGE is all about.
Ten years deep into the music and still maturing – classic track by classic track – Utah Jazz is back with his finest crop to date.
