David Kitt’s New Jackson project really shines in a live session as I found out at the recent Totally Dublin Stack party.
Not only does David, aided by Damien Lynch live, have the tunes, they they know how to play them for dancing in an engaging way that also doubles as genuine performance. There aren’t many acts of this calibre in Ireland at least, who perform dance music with real instruments in such fashion.
So, it’s all the more exciting then for their next EP, New Jackson will be released on Barcelona’s Hivern Discs who have released music from John Talabot, Teengirl Fantasy and Pional (nice intro to them on RA).
‘Sat Around Here Waiting’ is a propulsive treated percussive-led track with drama-heightening synths with NJ’s now-established trademark vocoder gliding over the top.
(The Sat Around Here Waiting EP will also feature remixes by Fort Romeau and Pional. Released on March 4th. )
Kittser is also teaming up with TR-One on a once-off series of disco edits as Bande Apartment on Apartment Records. See Bodytonic for track samples.
