JetTricks – For The Love of Money

When something this good comes your way, there is no way you can’t share it. When it’s hand stamped and one sided it’s even better. When it’s an O’Jay’s cover with heavy drums, game over. That’s what we have this morning from the UK production team JetTricks, a steaming hot cover of Canton, Ohio’s finest via South London. Paul Elliott and Jamie Lawrence have been busy boys for the last year. Hot off their debut release Remote Control, the duo then released their sophmore, follow up effort entitled All One Word. If you were just looking for just heavy drums this time on the menu, you got them, but if bangers and mash just weren’t enough, you get the blood pudding as well. They’ve teamed up with artists like Detroit via London Soul cat Marcus Malone, Hammond monster Stephen “Lord” Large, Noisettes guitarist Dan Smith, along with UK singer Andrea Britton to give you a diverse platter of funky stuff. Here’s what people have been saying about JetTricks:

“A two man groove machine in control of bags of breaks and tons of instruments running on nothing but biscuits and coca-cola have emerged to create upfront, diverse and innovative music ”

“A two man groove machine in control of bags of breaks and tons of instruments running on nothing but biscuits and coca-cola have emerged to create upfront, diverse and innovative music. Producing serious music with a sense of humour with inspiration taken from hip hop, jazz, blues, breaks, dub and soul…Always remembering to make regular trips to the 24hour garage to top up the jammie dodgers and bottles of coke.”

On this current side, JetTricks enlist the help of former Fun Lovin’ Criminals guitarist Huey Morgan and a young Edwin Starr, ahem, Marcus Malone, electrifying the tune over top of a drum beat that your mama would be proud of. Morgan shreds his way through this classic, and by the time it’s finished, you’ve put it on repeat because it’s that good. Look for this on a FMF mix in the near future. Great production and once again some great music coming out of the UK. Well done lads.
