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.

"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."
