Dance Label Peppermint Jam to Release 18 Year Special Anniversary Compilation Album
Thursday, 21 April 2011 Written by Elliott Batte
On June 17th, Germany’s most iconic dance label Peppermint Jam releases ‘The Jam Files,’ a very special anniversary compilation celebrating 18 years of seminal house anthems.

And a glance at the tracklisting of this triple CD aural feast reveals no less than the soundtrack to every house fan’s life: there’s Ruffneck’s groove-laden, hand-clap-driven ‘Everybody Be Somebody’; Byron Stingily’s falsetto worldwide anthem ‘Get Up’; Boris Dlugosch’s masterful rework of Moloko’s ‘Sing It Back’; and – of course – Mousse T.’s international breakthrough, the Ivor Novello award-winning ‘Horny’ (albeit in two radically new versions by Radioslave & Daniel Solar & Andi De Luxe).

Don’t miss, too, the Martin Buttrich remix of ‘Funky Shit’ by Matty Heilbronn, and Reboot’s deep rework of the classic ‘Cruisin’ by Can 7.

And what of the Future? Well, it’s clear as glass, of course: check out Peppermint Jam’s singular vision on CD3, crammed as it is with dubby funk and laidback house productions from fast-rising artists like Autodeep, Peavey, Daniel Solar & Andi Deluxe, Triad, Paskal & Urban Absolutes, all due for a release very soon. “All these years later,” says Mousse T, “even though genres and sub-genres have changed, we still feel we need to put good music out there.”

Finally, if you’re a fan, you can’t afford to miss catching the brand new Peppermint Jam Club Ensemble live. Consisting of Ulli Hammann (aka Autodeep) plus a vocalist and a keyboard player, they plan to fuse live elements, vocals and DJ skills as they tour some of the best-known songs from “The Jam Files”, as well as their own material, throughout 2011.
