Jackie Gritness - Natural High

There's this feeling that House Music is sometimes diluted into a pleasant, non-offensive and conformist formula. Well, Jackie Gritness - you may have heard of her big bro Gary - is bringin' all the sweat, the attitude and the filth down - take it or leave it. Jackie introduces herself from both sides on this well-strapped debut 12" - the slick swingin' & sangin' on the bass-heavy A side, and the raw clave trax and cunty snarls of the acid-laced B side. No trace of over-production or tired sampling here: this is just Jackie, her mic and her lil' groovebox - gettin' raw in the studio just like she does onstage. Only thing added is some wall-shaking mastering by New York OG Dietrich Schoenemann. This is the kinda House that's supposed to make regular folks wanna turn it off. This ain't rated E for Everyone, it's rated F for Freaks. It's music from the underground, for the underground - as it was first revealed on the runway of Glastonbury’s infamous NYC Downlow last summer. And if that’s more than you can take - it’s alright. It’s not like Jackie will hold it against you
