Arsene - Jack Shit EP

We didn't know Jack Shit but we do now - this is a big one. Arsene's debut 7" kicked off this year with his bang-the-box underdog smash hit "Jack Shit". The song went underground-viral seconds after the test presses started circulating garnering commented support ranging from Classic's Luke Solomon, Deeper Shades Lars Behrenroth, Mark Grusane, Radioslave, Danny Krivit, Stones Throw's JRocc, Marcellus Pitman, Darryn Jones even Stretch Armstrong. Lefto debuted it on his Kiosk Radio show while a chance run-in with Moodymann at the airport seems to be the source of it's club debut. Record was sold out weeks before release date. FOMO-not though, as here Arsene returns to his native Chicago with a 4 piece slab of the real Windy City house sound - this time appropriately sized up to 12" and including the full length version of "Jack Shit". We've heard many youngsters try their hand at tracky analog house deep sound of the 2nd City only to fall well short of the greats that paved the way. Here Arsene manages to not only stay true to the vibe but also deliver a fresh perspective and energy that separates both this record and him as producer from the imitators. A student of the game, looking forward to more from this potential Rookie Of The Year. credits
