Artist:	SPARROW, JACK
Title:	For Me/Lights Off
Label:	EARWAX (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	EAR 008EP

"Jack Sparrow has established his name with some big hitting releases these last couple of years -- including, not least, the recent dancefloor smasher 'I and I' for MRK1's Contagious imprint. Stepping up now for the next installment on Earwax, Jack Sparrow shows off a more refined, smoother flavor with 'For Me' ('scuse the coffee-ad style metaphors!), punchy beats touching on quality house and dubwise influences as if flexing Kromestar-esque rhythmical powers over a Martyn-style soundscape . Flip then for a rumtotting anthem sound of the devastating 'Lights Off,' with its infectious druggy synth lines and groggy bass line -- the demented vocal sample eventually commanding 'Turn the lights off.' Big tunes for the big boys to play -- buy this now or be fully prepared to walk the plank! Support from: Mary-Anne Hobbs, Pinch, Plastician, RSD, MRK1, Appleblim and many more."

Title:	Spam Purse/Blackout
Label:	SENSELESS (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	SENSE 005EP

"Another product of Leeds' incredibly fertile dubstep scene and member of the Senseless clan, Jack Sparrow digs deep and pulls out two primed heavy floor rockers for his debut 12". Obviously informed by bass-weight sessions at Subdub with the indomitable Iration rig, young Sparrow has learnt a thing or two about the effect of a well produced and dispatched subbass on a crowded dancefloor, demonstrated with style and efficiency on the Mala DMZ style up-rocker 'Blackout.' Rolling with a mean steppers intent, Sparrow drops a kicking riddim with moody digi-dub riffage and divebombing subs to find favor in any bigboy's set. 'Spam Purse' on the flip opts for a Coki style bassbin wobbler with Skream alike arpeggios and the simple but deadly 'bass...roll' refrain, which says it all, really. Big with Distinction, Simon 'Subdub' Scott, Juju and Sarantis."
