BRUH JACKMAN
We’d like to express our excitement about the latest act to join Futureboogie’s immaculate roster: Bruh Jackman, formed by Jabru and Hackman. The project began to blossom when their 2012 track Of The Sun, evocative of a party blanketed by the orange sky during a warm night’s sundown, was used to launch the Paradise Club Recordings imprint and lauded as “absolutely glorious” by Mary Anne Hobbs. Both members have stylistically diverse backgrounds and agree the project is an opportunity to explore new terrain. “The Bruh Jackman tracks are more in line with conventional house compared to our solo projects, which are fairly ‘bass music’ orientated”, they explain. “Also we seem to have delved into R’n’B territory, an area we’ve dipped our toes in but neither of us has fully explored”. This reaches its most literal realisation in their rhythmically intricate track California, featuring vocals from British newcomer Joel Culpepper. “We knew as soon as we’d written the beat it needed a proper R’n’B voice, and were sold after watching the video for Joel’s Passenger”, they tell us. “Joel loved it and came through with a killer vocal that really makes the track.” Pick up this tantalising EP, available now via Futureboogie Recordings.
