Rob Small presents Uncle Rico - All That Jazz

Rob Small takes time out from mastering for the world and his brother, to deliver this three-tracker for 3am under his Uncle Rico guise.

The original of All That Jazz explores the area where jazz and deep, dubby house/techno… to remarkably pleasing effect, it must be said! Universal Solution's Remix tones down the jazz elements (bar the spoken vocal) in favour of a smoother deep house ride, while the Jamie Adam Tune Remix takes us in a proggier direction. But while both are playable for sure, neither competes with the original for sheer out-there freakiness.

House music for the mind as well as the body. To coin a phrase.

Out: This week

THIS JUST IN! 3am remix competition

We'll have more compact and bijou reviews tomorrow but for tonight, Al Bradley has asked me to help spread the word about a nifty remix competition they're running for all you producer/remixer types out there. So, take it away, Al…

"To celebrate the forthcoming release of Rob Small pres Uncle Rico All That Jazz (TAM055) in December, 3am Recordings has teamed up with Rob to offer budding producers and remixers that chance to feature on a full release on 3am in 2012, and also to remix the debut release from Rob's Uncle Rico project, A Different Groove. Originally released in 2010, the track (TAM039) had amazing support from Giom, City Soul Project, Pete Dafeet, Murray Richardson, Da Funk and more. The two winning remixes will be chosen by Rob himself and 3am Recordings label manager Al Bradley, with the winners being announced just before Christmas.

Rob’s tracks and remixes have been released on labels such as Artform, Monique Muzique, Evasive, Soulman, Assembly, Soundz and many more, alongside his own TUG Underground imprint and 3am Recordings, so this is a chance to remix a track which iDJ Magazine called ‘a future classic’ and put your own spin on it.

To obtain the remix parts and be kept up to date on 3am releases, future projects, free tracks and mixes, simply send an email to info@3amrecordings.com and you will receive an email giving the link to the remix parts and all the details for entering the competition."
