Description

Founded in 2010, Lumberjacks in Hell deliver a handful of their back catalogue highlights from the last 6 years, plus three tracks that were not released on the label originally but perfectly reflect the label’s sound.

First up we have the vinyl debut of a killer track from Detroit multi-instrumentalist and DJ – Pirahnahead. One of those that makes you head move like it’s on a ball joint, pure soul drips from this groove. I’d buy the LP for this track alone. But there’s much more…

The Patchworks remix of Uptown Funk Empire’s ‘You’ve Gotta Have Freedom’ is lifted from the Soul’s Back! remixes 12″ that came out in 2008. The original, if you can find it, will set you back £30. A cool modern take on the Pharoah Sanders classic. Three tracks in and we get our first dose of LIH back cat – Circles by Sunderland’s Mannmademusic. The original 12″ (LIH005) has been steadily rising in price for a while now, making this a timely re-issue of the Rufus & Chaka Khan based club stormer. Eddie C’s ‘What It Is’ dj tool from the ‘I Want You EP’ (LIH012) rounds off the first 12″ nicely. Two copies of this track are great fun to cut up.

Olivier Boogie’s ‘Dance Band’ kicks off the second 12″. Taken from the highly sought after LIH008, a mint copy of this ace Donald Byrd edit will set you back £20-£30. Next up is Stacy Kidd & Peven Everett’s floor worker ‘Body Jerkin’. This is different to the original 10″ version and as far as we know it has only been available digitally until now. I have always liked Hugo H’s ‘Chante Vs James’ track off LIH09 and it still sounds fresh 3 years later. The Chicago resident has been active on the scene for nearly 2 decades, and his lively Hardy influenced track shows he still knows how to jack. Digging don Boogie Nite’s ‘Do Your Thang’ from LIH 007 closes the LP with style. A slamming cut up that sounds ace in the mix.
