Set up as a continuation of their podcast back in 2008, this Russian label joins the dots between jazz various genres. Footwork House Jam no.1 is a homage to the global house culture and the eponymous Moscow-based club night in particular. The idea behind this compilation ‘is to provide the fuel for house dance culture and house movement to expand further on’ the label claims. Starting off with Baltimore legend Karizma and his jagged groove therapy session titled “Church Chords” there’s more quality with Brit Nubian Mindz with the glitched out disco house of “Check Da Discotheque” which will contort you even more with its nifty beat repeat effects. Then it is Intr0beatz with the sexy late night deep house of “That DUB” where he goes for that timeless formula of emotive chords, swing fuelled rhythms and sampled diva vocals to full effect.. but wait for that bassline to drop, like seriously! Finally, Dopeness Galore darling Jacob Otten aka Kid Sublime drops the soulful and life affirming broken beat nu-jazz experiment “Wings Of Love”.
