PVS 003EP
2009 release. Stockholm-based
Jackpot
dove into the deepest recesses of the electronic dance music psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses -- their own unmistakable sound -- the sound of western culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. Influenced by the psychotic debris of previous eras - the movies of
Kenneth Anger
, the music of
Suicide
,
Velvet Underground
and
Bruce Haack
, the words of
William S Burroughs
-- they then added the junkiest element of all -- themselves.
Greased Lightning
also features remix work from talents
In Flagranti
and
Rory Phillips
. You hear that beat? That's them knocking on your door.

SERV 032EP
"They've been called one of dance music's best kept secrets: Jackpot. In 1983 Italian experimental sound artist Marco Donatello and Swedish synth pioneer Gleen Asp made recordings together. Their ambition was to put sound to an art-project but the result was an erotic cocktail of Italo-esque melodies, EBM rhythms, and filmic arpeggios. Legend has it the music was made as an excuse to press records off a narcotic solution in order to smuggle drugs, and that a mishap during the operation explains why we haven't heard these tracks before. In any case, this is an exclusive document of unknown yet truly unique Swedish dance music. Now Service makes it available to the public ear for the first time 25 years later."
