It is with great honor that I am able to give this away.  A tribute to one of my heroes, Frankie Knuckles.

The relationship between Detroit and Chicago, for me, has always been about connection.  Any kind of rivalry is secluded and irrelevant, in my opinion.

Chicago is approximately a 6 hour drive from Detroit, so, growing up we would frequent parties, back and forth.  On any weekend in Detroit, we could meet people from Chicago who wanted to experience our small scene in Detroit.

Whereas Detroit had a much more distant, cold feeling while still trying to retain human elements, Chicago house music always appealed to me because it seemed like the softer, soulful version of Techno.  I was drawn to the organ chords and the jacking indigenous rhythms of 808s.  Growing up with Detroit radio, we were exposed to funk music and a lot of R&B.  Some of the first records I bought were Change “Change of Heart” and Frankie Knuckles presents Jamie Principle “Your Love”, both artworks and music having very geometric, mechanical feeling, yet airbrushed and fun vibes.

Frankie Knuckles was the most pivotal figure in this movement, for me.  The first time I had heard “Baby Wants To Ride”, it really moved me.  The way the dot matrix synths moved in seemingly Euclidian patterns, the bounce and slight swing of that bass line, and the way the dissonant chords tied it all together.  One listen and you can see where I drew all my inspiration from when making my tune from 2006, “Hot, Raw, Sex”.  Let’s just say that record would have been a lot different without Frankie K.

“Tears”, “Rain Falls”, and “Your Love” among some of the best tracks I found on vinyl in Chicago.  A few of them so popular you could find them at Salvation Army.

What else can I say about Frankie that hasn’t been said this week?  With this track, we celebrate his life, his kindness, his love for music, his inspiration, his passion and all that he gave during his life.  

Thank you Frankie,

Jimmy Edgar

DJ SPOOKIE - RELOAD [JIMMY EDGAR EDIT]

OUT ON @ULTRAMAJIC
APRIL 22

The fourth law of Metaphysix is titled Cause & Effect, which refers to a universal law that states “there is no chance“—in other words, the universe is all connected through causation. In this series, we look at the relationship between artists and their influences of each other and the label.  We invited our close friends to take part of this compilation. 

This is the Ultramajic Cause & Effect: Six club producers from around the world translating similar musical ideas through cultural barriers. Label boss Jimmy Edgar finds a common ground with Detroit talent, Crystal Bandito, and Chicago’s legendary Traxman in rigid acid drum workouts & TB-303 drenched in vinyl dust. The mysterious name on the track list, on the other hand—Ecrylic—is none other than the artist formerly known as P.O.L. Style.  Last but not least, newcomer Phil Kieran tops of the release with his loudest track “Beat Flow”

Taken from the Dreamz Come True Ep, released on Ultramajic June 24th 2016

After a string of dance floor singles since 2012 including “Let Me Tell You” and “Strike”, Jimmy Edgar is back with fresh sound that is to become his signature for Ultramajic. 

  Over the period of two years, Jimmy has been building this new sound.  Where rhythm was the primary in his dance music, he has flipped focus and intensely studied melody, chords and music theory.  “Dreamz Come True” is the beginning of a new path; one that continues trajectory from his quintessential releases on Warp Records, over 10 years ago.

Opening track “4Fourth Dimension” – brings you into the #dreamzzzcometrue world, inspired by “astral choreography” and an array of house music through the lens of R&B.  The title track features vocalist Rochelle Jordan, and together they create a modern take on the “song” that sways back and forth between vibes.  “iPhone” ties them together with aggressive african rhythm and bounce that end in a room full of terrifying screams that unite everyone in fear.  “Hydrant” melts off the release with Jimmy’s low tempo equation that reminds you of artificial intelligence creating quiet storm.
