Jackmaster K - House Ain't Givin' Up - Made Fresh Daily

Made Fresh Daily follow up killer 12"s from Geddes and Mikki Funk with the debut solo EP from rising house producer Jackmaster K. Though indebted to the current vogue for the sounds of 90s house, Jackmaster K's productions are filled with enough unexpected twists and turns to keep the formula fresh; "House Ain't Givin' Up" switches things up with its NYC electro stabs, saxophone solo and swelling sub-bass, while "Get Up" takes things into deeper territory with its thick bassline and dubbed out, candy sweet Rhodes melodies. On the remix, James Johnston flips "Get Up" inside out, giving it some classic New Jersey bump and flex, and busying up the arrangement with added organs, while Rosenhaft's take on "House Ain't Givin' Up" is much more expansive, allowing the bassline to breathe in a spacious composition of pitched vocals and drawn out chords.
