Beat Junkie Sound US レコード& CD

Review: For the uninitiated, Flaunt Edwards is one of the many artistic aliases of long-serving crate digger, DJ and beat-maker Jason Jackson AKA J-Rocc. This 12" sees him transform a trio of classic cuts from the disco and boogie era, two of which should be familiar to those with a love of late '70s and early '80s American dance music. Jackson first joins forces with pal Kon on "Planets of Life", a dubbed-out and gently beefed-up rearrangement of a killer Whispers cut that famously formed the basis of a heady house cut by The Revenge way back in 2009. Flipside opener "Groove Game" delivers a fuzzy and stomping interpretation of a weighty Hamilton Bohannon classic, while "Overweight" is a fine revision of a jaunty, horn-heavy disco delight.
