BL008 Sneaker - "Portrait In House" EP - vinyls and high rez digitals available for purchase Oct 4th at https://blacklodge.bandcamp.com/
Will be available at selected shops in the U.S. and distributed by Clone Distribution in the EU. 

Some words on the release by Justin Aulis Long:
As we approach the threshold leading us back to the Black Lodge on our transformative 8th journey, we are escorted through and beyond the mystical portal by the vigorous and fierce forces of Sneaker. Portrait in House is a collection of 3 resonant works, which are unified into a singular vision within its uncanny language that is rooted deeply in the foundations of Jak, New Beat, EBM, and Wave. Existing inside the liminal spaces of where light meets dark, we are presented with a documentation of dissonance and harmony. 

We begin our voyage with Jihad, a sluggish and slogging piece that unforgivingly drags us through the grime and the dirt in a ritualistic fashion that would have the ghost of Georges Bataille dancing in circles. Voices call out and howl into the dark as the drum patterns of the 707 rhythmically grasps onto its anarchic components. In the dark, we can see the light beyond the known universe. In the words of Sneaker “The name is not our message, but a document of an evident, traditional concept in (y)our world.”

As we find ourselves sprawled out on the ground following the 1st sonic stanza, a menacing voice bellows and warns that this is a Sax Track. Referencing Chicago icon Lil Louis, this work juxtaposes classical elements of house music together with the bare knuckled spirit of Jak. A magical spell led by disharmonious Portasound FM keys in conversation with a teetering sub bass, where at its core, this plus this, equals something that is uniquely familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. A number fit for any uncanny ritual that will fall under the night sky. 

Bringing our cosmic procession to a close we pick up the pace with a commanding number titled, Dance On, a no holds barred work that will possess your soul in the name of Jak. Flangers wail unforgivingly alongside a pulsating 101, as samples of the human voice are chopped up and arranged into a conversation that hypnotically calls for our bodies to be transformed into soft machines, while powered by ceremonious motions that are generated from the liberating process of ritual movement. We command you to dance!

CONFLICT BUREAU, hailing from the birthplace of the true house sound, CHICAGO USA, seeks to embody the writhing and mutated mass that has become of underground “house”. a disciple to the sound referred to as jakbeat, an obsessive in regards to the sounds of the hauge and all manners of subterranean Sonic’s fueled by the simple concept that HOUSE and its kin is THE sound! Born and raised a punk on the northeast coast of the us, transplanted to Chicago in the mid 2010s to find home and solace in the dark and small and gritty clubs and music spaces that once littered the scapes of the city. With an upbringing in raw genres of punk and industrial, the lean into stripped down, unadulterated drum machine music was a no brainer. And through access to the disk jocks whose prowess of the decks keep the spirit of jak alive, an obsession grew and has spilled out into the producer, dj, visual curator, deck thrasher that is CONFLICT BUREAU.

Drum Major-

this conceptual production from new klan member Nico Babylon 
creates a hypnotic electronic blueprint focused on vintage 
synths and syncopated movement of rhythmic dimensions 
and craftsmanship.

plainly said..this is the next level of jakbeat moving forward!



This Nasty Possession-

The Jak collaborates with Nico on this uber old school formula 
from the days of chicago underground in the mid 80s along 
the timeline of gherkin/gene hunt era.

everything u hear on this tune was created by hand…
No samples were taken!




The Jak:Niko Babylon - This Nasty Possession

Nico Babylon- Drum Major



An Announcement Of A Miracle-

This tune is about a specific idea..
not using a 303 to make a timeless piece of Chicago Seriousness.

The Jak & Nico Babylon lays out the foundation of vintage 
electronics righteously snapping Kode with an intense amount 
of energy and balance paying respect to the underground tribes.

The sermon included throughout the song is about the truthful 
miracle in the lives of OUR humanity everyday.
listen, absorb and realize!


Roman Romance 4 The Drum Kidz-

This is a honorable homage to Fred Brown from 
Rocking House Records (Chicago)..

The Jak & Nico go head to head with this dark and 
melancholic slab of pure chicago created by hand…
Showin Ultra Respect.



The Jak Meets Niko Babylon- An Announcement Of A Miracle

The Jak Vs Niko Babylon- Roman Romance 4 The DruM kiDz

Psycho PipeZ-

The Jak N KincaiD- PsyKo PipeZ

Buckwheat Beat 4 The Primordial Cult-

This spacey and atmospheric track pays tribute to the fallen heroes of the Muzik Box 
which tested and pushed dance music ideas for those who chose to UNDERSTAND 
the heritage and RESPECT the history these individuals created from their hearts..

Jakbeat is not to be trivialized.
