Your Sunday afternoon disco fix comes courtesy of Martin Thomasson (of Harlem ) along with Erik Wikström and Luciano Leiva, both of whom were members of The Meat Boys with Andreas Kleerup . They formed Jackpot in Stockholm in 2006, but the Permanent Vacation -released "Ragazza" is their first commercially released single. They call their sound a halfway point between Italo-disco and '80s body music , which is a close relative to industrial music : Download [zShare] [...]
How cool is cool italo, precisely because it is the antithesis of cool? Just check out the two nuggets by Marzio Dance and Baby's Gang we bring you today- self-improvement choruses to get a whole dancefloor pumping raspberry fists in the air *check* unhinged//overblown progressions packed with weird sci-fi effects ...

Stockholm's Hampus Drake has begun working with London's Serge Santiango in both production and some label stuff. The first pairing of their production is a a remix of Jackpot. It's big room disco!!!

WIEBE Four acts is a lot for a Sunday night, especially a show that doesn't kick off until after 9 p.m. Or maybe I'm just old and jealous of all the KU students who got to walk home from the Jackpot last night while I had to drive on back to Kansas City. Regardless, the line-up of three touring bands and one local group [...]

Service is putting out a 12" EP from semi-legendary underground Italian/Swedish production team Jackpot . The story of the album is too long and involved to explain here in a concise way, so I suggest you go here for the full scoop: http://jackpotresearch.wordpre ss.com/ I have no clue if the music will be any good, but it certainly is interesting reading about it.
(Editors note: I've probably written this exact same sentence once or twice before. It's hard not to repeat yourself after almost 3 years of once-a-day posts so forgive me if you've heard it before.) I'm only truly excited to receive releases in the mail from a small handful of labels (even given the fact that I get them all for free). I won't list them here in case I piss anyone off, but I will say that the small indie label Jackpine Social Club is tops on that list. The reasons for [...]
A few weeks back the good people over at SwedesPlease commented on a post we had here about some great bands from Sweden's past and well I got to thinking... yeah their were a lot of great bands overlooked by time. So in honor, a Jukebox tribute to some of Sweden's tortured garage souls. Enjoy! [MP3] The Fabulous Four - 438 S Michigan Avenue Yeah, not that Fab Four but I suppose we'll let the name slide. This band was mostly known for some low quality [...]
