No one needs a woman, like I need you....
Welcome one and all to the sounds of Jacques Greene. Jacques is a 20 year old producer based in Montreal and affiliate of the mighty Glasgow based label LuckyMe. The first time Mr. Greene appeared on the Secret Peter radar was after hearing his sublime remix of Cassie’s It Must Be Love; the young producer giving the original a laid back house groove to compliment Cassie’s R&B soaked vocal. After a bit of research we stumbled across his first 12” release, Baby (I Don’t Know What You Want) taken from the Night Slugs Allstars compilation. This is when we started to get really excited.
Then late in 2010 LuckyMe dropped his killer The Look EP; merging his love of 2-step, R&B, UK funky and deep techno Jacques unleashed 4 tracks of unadulterated party pleasure. We didn’t think that The Look could be topped but then we heard Another Girl. This track has been on heavy rotation ever since its first listen and it seems to have made quite an impression already. Nipping down to my local record store the incredible Piccadilly Records I was told that all copies of Another Girl had sold out that day with the bloke behind the counter asking “you didn’t happen to listen to Gilles Peterson’s show this week as well did you?”. So it seems taste maker and all round good egg Gilles Peterson has noticed this lad’s talent as well.
Another Girl is another heart string pulling R&B house stomp with Jacques trademark swirling synths and 2 step influenced beats, cutting and looping the vocal from Ciara’s Deuces to devastating effect. This is one of Secret Peter’s tunes of 2011 so far, no qualms.
Another Girl is available now via LuckyMe with remixes from Braiden, Mark Flash, Machinedrum and Koreless.
