Over 2 decades since his last compilation on BBE Music, Jasper The Vinyl Junkie returns to the label with 'Vinyl Junkie Thangs' a bumper collection of effortlessly cool, eclectic grooves for heads and feet.Vinyl collector, DJ and music writer, Jasper The Vinyl Junkie has been with BBE since the very beginning, curating our second ever label release, 1997's 'Stop & Listen Vol. II'. It seems only right for him to rejoin us in our 25th year with another stash of funk-filled, jazzy cuts and edits, many of which are almost impossibly hard to find."Even all the digital interference hasn't stopped vinyl being a fantastic way to get your groove on. When I put together compilations like this back in the day, there were just 3 formats: Vinyl, CDs and Cassette Tapes. Now there's a whole heap of ways to get your favourite tunes: downloads, streaming, youtube etc. etc. Even so, when I put an album together, I always do it with the analogue in mind, so it has a certain feel to it." - Jasper The Vinyl JunkieFeaturing sounds from all-time music heroes like Fred Wesley, The Fatback Band and D-Train's Hubert Eaves alongside lesser known artists like Exile One, Ashantis and Funkshone, Jasper takes 'Vinyl Junkie Thangs' above and beyond the norm for this type of collection by also including a smattering of contemporary edits, remixes and new creations. Material by the likes of Basement Freaks, OPOLOPO, Jkriv & Free Magic and Mr Scruff, much of which has never been available on vinyl before, blends in perfectly with the classic material, giving this album extra depth and fresh dimensions.
