Poland’s Jacob B more or less arrived out of nowhere and his new EP, ‘The Breslau Cuts’ on Berlin based Käse Kool, is ready to declare war on the dancefloor with a series of absolute bangers. Each track on the cut is like a self-contained, anarchic ball of energy designed for fancy footwork and sweat-drenched bodies. The crowning achievement on the EP, suitably titled The Weapon, goes 0 to 100 by demolishing current dance music trends and aiming straight for the gut. Coming hot out of the gate with a heavy hitting 4/4 beat, an unrelenting bassline that assaults the senses, and an apparent love of UK garage and classic techno, Jacob B’s latest truly lives up to its name. Strictly speaking, this is the kind of secret track DJs let loose just to watch their crowd go off the rails into Crazytown: the place where there aren’t any rules other than shuffling feet, hardcore vogueing, and unmistakeable eruptions of the sound, “WOO.” Yeah – apparently The Weapon is atomic in nature.
‘The Breslau Cuts’ also features 3 additional tracks: the jacking beat of From the Underground; the deep, insular Warehouse Stomp; and the ‘JMF Fatty Rub’ of From the Underground which flips, twists, and dips like a carnival ride.
You can listen to Jacob B’s The Weapon and the rest of ‘The Breslau Cuts’ below and pick up the EP via Käse Kool Records on February 7.
