Life's not supposed to be easy
so why would I think it should be
I don't know how to
explain this to you
I just want to be free

I grew up believing in sin
but I knew I was good deep within
so I searched all the gods
Against all the odds 
I found that God is in me

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

I'm waking up to something real
I'm ready to get off this wheel
I'm ready to live
laugh and forgive
I just want to be free

One day I will be dead and gone
but the true and real me will live on
because God cannot die
so neither can I
I will always be free

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

I want to wake up (from the dream)
I want to wake up (from the dream)
I'm gonna wake up
wake up, wake up, wake up

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

And now I see
who I can be
and not for even one minute
can I ever forget it
cause I just want to be free

Just want to be free

JACKARD serves up thrilling new EP "Lucky Dip" on the vital Griffintown Records.

Since breaking through in late 2017 JACKARD has been a regular on the underground scene and has already been certified for his raw energy and explosive sounds. They have come on Moxy Muzik, Hustler Trax and many more and have seen him constantly in the top end of the underground charts while also playing around the world.

Drop The Beat kicks off and is a rock solid house groove with plenty of height in the drums and attitude in the vocals. Razor sharp percussion and subtle garage swing gets things going ever more to ensure this one will cause real carnage. House It UP! brings some old school flair with big piano stabs that will prove infectious for all. The drums are chunky and more throwback vocals finish this one in style.

PREMIERE: JACKARD - Drop The Beat [Griffintown Records]

Tromino brings you his latest incredible EP You Move Me / Jack The Beats, available from 6th December, the West Midlands Producer / DJ showing yet how to produce stonewall classics that rise a level above the mass of electronic music available today.

Tromino has his very own musical philosophy - the power of 3. A domino has two equally vital sections. A tromino (the geometric principle as old as music itself) has three. Tromino’s holy trinity consists of Detroit techno, Chicago House and Acid. His sonic tromino greater is expertly forged to become greater than the sum of its (already sublime) parts. If you speak to Da La Swing, Joyce Muniz, Cevin Fisher, Nic Fanciulli, or Jamie Jones - just a few of his many distinguished supporters - they will agree.

Track one, You Move Me starts with a hi-tempo, tribal beat with a ground-shaking bass so deep, you can’t help but turn that master volume up. Layer upon layer of humid, nocturnal syncopated percussion build, each with a completely different pattern, yet somehow all working concordantly. Tromino has turned up to your samba band practise with a 909 and a laptop and told you to forget everything you know. Synth and vocal samples kept to a minimum, designed to enhance rather than dominate. Play You Move Me at 33 or 45 and it will sound equally amazing. 

Tromino tells us more: “You Move me is a rolling, tribal affair with a hint of tech. Focusing on the percussion and cool synth riff that floats in and out teasing you to the drop to then start rolling and building all over again. This track also plays well at a higher tempo, making it more techno than tech.”

The second track, Jack The Beats hooks you immediately with a thwacking drumline, joined by at 30 seconds by a deep, bouncing bass drum and a classic vocal sample, ‘Jack, jack, jack the beats’. By the time the old school synths and tweaking high line kick in, you’ll notice that your body is already moving. Everyone around you on the dancefloor frantically flicking through the vinyl crates of their mind palace, wondering which house legend produced this track at the turn of the 90’s. Jack The Beats is so pure that it transcends decades, equally classic and contemporary.

Tromino explains: “Jack The Beats was inspired by the Jack'in House sound with a Tromino twist. Classic drum and bass sounds of the era with some wonky effects and infectious build up with a call jacking vocal sample 'Jack the beats'

You Move Me / Jack The Beats is just what you need to hear on your home setup and in clubs as a little beacon of hope amidst the dark winter nights. Play it in your New Years Eve set and the whole place will be bouncing. Two very different tracks that show how a double A side EP should be. Tromino is currently enjoying such a rich vein of creative form at the moment with much, much more to come in 2025. No wonder Bill Brewster’s wrote a chapter featuring Tromino next to Carl Cox in his seminal book How To DJ Properly.
