Born into a family of artists and musicians Jacob Otten began playing piano and drums at age 5 after hearing his grandfathers Duke Ellington record and trying to replay "C-Jam Blues". From that first pivotal moment Jacob- known as Kid Sublime- has since devoted his heart and soul to all things music. From his early days drumming in Hardcore Punk bands to touring the world with Brazillian band Zuco 103 and working in the infamous record store Fat Beats, he quickly laid down a strong and solid foundation to build his career as a producing musician and Disc Jockey.

After trying out an Akai MPC 60 in the late 90's, Kid Sublime got hooked to the machine and a few years later he released his first House 12", "Tea For Two" which was later re-edited by Francois K. He then crafted a myriad of future soul classics for Dutch label Kindred Spirits like his 'Basement Soul' album. From House anthems on his own 'Ballroom Radio Records' imprint that have rocked dance floors all over the world, to Japan only albums that where so hot that the legendary BBE records re-released them so that more ears could hear KS's unmistakable sound. A true master of his craft, "Straat Coach" an opus of sorts, is his first full blown Dutch Rap album, humorous and witty but backed by insane 'bang it in ya jeep' style beats.

Hot Shot Sounds expand their remit with the launch of Peddlin Trax, a new house-orientated series to "keep you riding all day and into the night". First up is the legend of Amsterdam's house and hip-hop scene, the master Kid Sublime; anyone that follows his work on the Dopeness Galore label will agree this is a fine choice. "Real Hipsters Don't Dance" tees off in a Kenny Dope does b-boy house kind of vibe, whilst "That Ringtone Shit" is on more of a Dog In The Night tip. Down below, both "Get High" and "One For Ibiza" are pure house bliss, the sort of cuts you love to slip in the mix, whilst Kid Sublime heads off into buttery beatdown boogie territory on closing track "S.E.X.X.X. Met Jouwww". A strong start to the series.

After a three year hiatus Night Sweats Music artist System Status is back with his first outing for People Must Jam. The four-track Pale & Crazy EP sees a return to the experimental uptempo sounds of UK producer Dave Rendle. The mind behind System Status and The Detroit Urban Gardening Ensemble, Dave's music on Untracked, Out Here Audio, Horn Wax and Stupid Human has caught the attention of global tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Phil Asher, Ashley Beedle, Alex Nut and Ross Allen as well as receiving the remix treatment from another previous PMJ artist - Inkswel. The record kicks off with the title track which is a perfect representation of Dave's music style: loose rhythms, rising pads, little quirky vocal snatches, deep chords and fantastic funky squiggly synth work. Great vibes all round! Jiran Jaran - born out of a conversation that started on the dance floor at the Worldwide Festival, the question what would a half Iranian and half Japanese musical collaboration call themselves? Jiran Jaran was born! Henry Wu was highly influential on this one. Janice was a late addition to the record and it is probably our favourite. Using some of the musical teachings of a well known Antipodean musician, Dave uses everything he learnt to create a truly amazing track with just enough chord progressions and melodies to make the noodleiest of Jazz musicians smile. The warm tones of his Arp Axxe shining through. We are hoping Gilles Peterson and Floating Points may get on this one. Back of the Yards is another special cut - the oldest one on the ep. A Mr Fingers inspired bass sound with more Chicago and French/Canadian influences...interesting? Check it out! We are really excited to have been able to share this with everyone. Like all of our records - pressed on heavy duty 180gm vinyl.
We hope you like it.

Das Komplex or Marcin to his parents has been steadily putting out incredible music for the last few years, building on an extremely well tailored collection of tracks they have started hitting all sorts of people's radar, no one more so than Dj Harvey who has been supporting his releases at some of his big shows. A1. Under Feet - Whilst the people of Australia are dancing, the people of Poland are sleeping. Or vice versa...Starting off with some lcd fuelled vibes before a psychedelic phasing disco loop appears out of the smoke before twisting the track out in a slightly different direction. A2. W Podwodnym Pasniku - Funky bass, filtered chords and a familiar vocal sample combine for this almost early french house sounding track circa '96. B1. Bearded Dwarf - Very much sounding like Prins Thomas has been at work here, a big room Scandinavian sounding house track (via Poland!).
Big atmospherics, other-worldly vocal samples, lovely guitar snatches and driving piano with the addition of some tribal flute! B2. When - Our favourite cut from the EP, cleverly using a Herbie Hancock sample and layering with disco sounds, vocals and a deep driving bass line to produce his trademark atmospheric, moody house sound. As always pressed on 180gm vinyl. Please hunt down and destroy dance floors accordingly. Keep Sydney Open

To keep people guessing, the fifth instalment from Australia's best selling People Must Jam label takes things in a house direction with Andy Ash at the controls. Andy has put through an immense EP of varying house flavours to satisfy an all tastes. The EP kicks of with the monster disco vibed 'Hurricane Fantasy' track. A beautiful summery looper that's sure to keep the floors burning hot! 'Move'is one of Andy's straight up house cuts - which he is becoming well known for, a deep sounding organ line carrying the track forward with stabs and a nice little vocal sample to boot. Mixing things up a little on the flip, our good friend - Ron Basejam has provided a sublime 'Adriatic Excursion' remix of 'Move'. Ron takes the track to a totally different place with uplifting piano lines and orchestral string stabs building to a lovely crescendo. This remix should be earmarked for Croatia 2015. Finally 'Dommah' takes the EP into almost techno territory with building pads and solid beats resulting in a monster track for when the strobelight pulses and the heads go down! 180g Vinyl - Strictly limited.

People Must Jam just keep on bringing the heat ! One of New Zealand's best exports, apart from Lamb - a DJ and producer of considerable talents, whose musical output has graced a slew of respected outlets, from the uber cool Unthank to Rush Hour, Burek, Dopeness Galore & Boogie Bash, as well as his own fantastic Hot Shots imprint For his PMJ debut, we have a five track set of rough and ready workouts, the echoes of thirty odd years of Black US dance music held up with raw drum machine scaffolding. From smoked-out B Boy jams to lo-fi sample joints - loose and alive on the floor On the flip Lay Far stirs up some sonic trouble with a bottom heavy rewire of the title track, while Ugly Drums bring some serious shine to Linoleum Magnets, with a mix that's heavy on immersive mood and vibe 300 copies.
