Chicago Hip House Veteran Tyree Cooper And UK Newcomer Bobby Starrr Collaboration JACK THE BOX – SIDE A To Be Released By Moodmusic In Fall 2013 DJ Tyree Cooper has been a proactive element of the music industry since the beginning of House music back in 1986. His contributions have resulted in the birth of a genre and numerous top ten chart- and club-hits, such as "Turn Up The Bass", “Hardcore Hip House”, and "Groove You Out Tonight", are credited to him. Now the veteran teamed up with newcomer UK producer and DJ Bobby Starrr as the Berlin based combo JACK THE BOX and their debut album release in October this year is bound to make a lasting impact. "Side A shows the rare craftsmanship Tyree Cooper and Bobby Starrr have to offer. Their different backgrounds emerge as their strength, resulting in an album that is truly Chicago
inspired House with a contemporary vibe.” Says Moodmusic Records founder Klas Lindblad. “This is not the type of House music that you need to create a new buzzword for. This is solid House. Soulful, emotional, intense, refreshingly raw at times and always respectful towards the history of electronic music. It reflects truly who Bobby and Tyree are as DJs and persons. It is honest. That’s why I was immediately on board with Moodmusic as their label." “The Way We Walk”, feature track of the first single collaboration: “Jack the Box presents: The Tyree Cooper and Bobby Starrr E.P.” was welcomed with kudos by the house scene in September 2012. Followed to even more buzz in May 2013 by the second single output “Pon de Undaground” with remixes by Dingeman, Antti Rasi and Snuff Crew. “Pon de Undaground (Dingeman Remix)” was selected for Defected Records’ summer hit compilation “Loco Dice in the House”. On stage, Jack The Box’s undeniable charisma and enthusiasm for deep, Chicago inspired yet contemporary House music and their flawless track record of successful parties has garnered Tyree Cooper and Bobby Starrr a distinguished reputation amongst a remarkably high caliber of international House veterans which they have invited to their regular parties at Kater Holzig and Tresor in Berlin. The duo translates their party spirit into their first album output in their collaborations with Baby Bambaata (Jungle Brothers), Lady Blacktronika and Mandel Turner, keeping a balance between deep and sexy instrumental jams and full on party house. Says Bobby Starrr: “All of the artists that we approached have a very authentic individuality and strong character and most importantly, they are family and add to our positive vibe. As DJs we want to play out more tracks that feel like a “song” and for the album we were intent on making tracks with full vocal lyrics as opposed to a mainly melody focused album with one or two vocal tunes.” More
