NORTHERN SOUL!
The Return of...
THE INCITERS
Soul Clap CD/LP
We are very proud to welcome back to JUMP UP America's finest Northern Soul band - THE INCITERS from San Francisco! They'be brought the house down from LA to Chicago and all across Europe, taking the Motown/Stax ethic and adding a stronger back-beat with more adventurous production. With 11 members wielding drums, bass, guitars, a full horn section, and three strong female vocalists, THE INCITERS have no problem filling a room with the powerful sound of soul. The three vocalists - Emily Pegoda, Betsy Kniffin and Dani Wood - each take turns singing lead while the other two sing backup. Their choreography has an improvisational character to it as each of the singers cues off the moves of the others. THE INCITERS first formed back in 1995 and had a successful 10-year run before breaking up in 2005 - leaving behind a massive following in Europe that demanded their return year after year. In 2011, they got their wish as original member / bandleader Rick Kendrick went to work putting the band back together. The Inciters re-formed with some new, younger faces and picked up right where they left off. Right after the group reformed in the spring of 2011, they embarked on another successful European tour, and then got to work to record their comeback album for 2012 - SOUL CLAP!

Roots Reggae & Ska Delights
TOMMY TORNADO
Cool Down CD/LP
Thomas 'Tommy Tornado' Streutgers is a gifted Dutch saxophone player who joined the famous Rude Rich & The High Notes at the tender age of 18. Since then he has toured all over the world, making records with and backing famous Jamaican vocalists such as Alton Ellis, Dave Barker, U Brown, and The Heptones. His debut solo album "Sunrise" was released in 2010 (CD/LP from Jump Up!), comprised mostly of instrumentals, on which he is assisted by legendary Jamaican players including Rico Rodriguez, Ernest Ranglin, Winston Francis, and Dennis Alcapone. His band (aka The High Notes) plays to the point and tight, the mix sounds like the early Studio One albums where the vocal is mixed 'behind' the instruments as if the voice is one of those instruments. Soulful roots music, with retro styled organ riffs and sax arrangements that bring back memories of the late great Tommy McCook. "COOL DOWN" continues this roots tradition in fine style, 10 tracks backed once again with THE HIGHNOTES, featuring MR T BONE. It's already been described as a jam session between a bunch of hornsmen from the Kingston ghetto. That's high praise indeed!
The Limited Edition Jump Up LP vinyl features the best 8 tracks from the CD!

Crucial New Albums from Europe's Finest!
The UPSESSIONS "Below The Belt" CD/LP sees these self confessed, track suit wearing, rude boys from Holland return for their third album of manic upbeat skinhead reggae infused grooves with crazy lyrics. Spaghetti Western themes pop up through the album, opening up with a shoot out on "Mocca Cowboy Rides Again" and ends with a "Gunfight On The Westbank Of The Mississippi" . sandwiched in between are some traditional ska tunes like "Oh Cinnamon" and "Lucile", the rocksteady breeze of "Ease Up", "Adina" and "Cool & Deadly" plus the funky reggae of "Prince Naseem" and the album title track.
THE MOON INVADERS celebrate their ten year anniversary with "THE FINE LINE" CD/LP, a fantastic new 14 track album showcasing their soul-drenched blend of New Orleans R&B styled Jamaican ska and funky reggae. These cats can really sing harmonies, a must for fans of the original Jamaican vocal trios (ala THE MAYTALS or THE WAILERS) as well as for fans of modern bands like THE SLACKERS and DEAL'S GONE BAD! With track titles like "Baby I Know", "Just A Po' Boy", and "Bet Your Bottom Dollar", "It's Alright" and "Atchafalaya Basin" - you immediately get that good ol' timey Southern charm that can only come from the Bayou!

At JUMP UP, our motto is "JAMAICAN MUSIC MADE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY". Not only do you get vintage ska reggae calypso sounds that feel like they came from independence era Jamaica, but we make them the original way: LP vinyl...and some we toss on Compact Discs for fun. We feel strongly about releasing music in physical form, which is why we do not to deal with the digital side. What makes JUMP UP different than many other labels is the fact that we are passionate collectors of vinyl records ourselves, so we know what the true music fans want! It is our goal to support our music through it's heart - the real fans who collect the music. We don't own iPODs nor have MP3's hidden on gadgets. We are keeping an art form alive here at JUMP UP - we'll let the others try to cash in on digital sales - the "easy" and soul less "format" of music. Everything is digital these days, how is that special? By keeping vinyl alive, we feel that only the best bands and records will get released this way. We also distribute like-minded labels from all across the globe. In our opinion, it is best to be OLD FASHIONED. DJ Chuck Wren
