Sound systems were loud and warm, the air was full of smoke, and you’d be able to hear a great record that no one knew what it was and wouldn’t find out for months. Clubs were dirty, sweaty, and often dangerous. Trevor Jackson: You could go to a club without being strip searched, you could DJ without someone holding a mobile phone in your face, you could have sex in a toilet, or have a fight if someone trod on your shoes.

What’s wrong with clubs now and what would you do to rectify it, if you could? “Clubs were dirty, sweaty, and often dangerous”Įlectronic Groove: The PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED press release describes a better, past period in clubbing. Ed worked his magic on ‘I Want To Believe’.Īll the tracks were finished stereo files, and couldn’t be remixed from original parts (I didn’t have the original sessions anymore), so we were limited to either re-editing them or adding additional parts. He tweaked them with a well needed fresh pair of ears. Trevor Jackson: Sasha helped me finish a bunch of tracks I was sick and tired of listening to after 15 years. I’ve made many styles of music in my career, but all of them are connected my NTS show is mainly brand new music so working on this stuff made me more eager to finish them as quickly as possible and get on with something new.Įlectronic Groove: What was Sasha Crnobrnja from In Flagranti and Ed DMX’s roles in the tweaks you made when reworking ‘PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED’? These tracks are all old demos from 1998-2001 and things that didn’t fit on my original album, they’re much dirtier and darker than the ones I finished. Trevor Jackson: Playgroup has always been the lighter side to what I do musically. What was it like revisiting an old headspace when tweaking the tracks for PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED? Here’s what he had to say…Įlectronic Groove: The music you play today on NTS is darker and more esoteric than the PLAYGROUP material. We were lucky to chat with Trevor ahead of his album release. The sold out run of ‘ PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED’ vinyl has been supported by numerous DJ’s including Four Tet, James Murphy, Gilles Peterson, John Talabot, Optimo, Pedro Winter, Heidi, Laurent Garnier and Red Axes. The music featured is a collection of reworked demos and unreleased recordings that still sound as relevant today as they did when initially recorded for the debut PLAYGROUP album during 1997 – 2001. The London based Creative Director, moving-image maker, producer and DJ’s work includes countless classic record covers, and has been exhibited at prestigious international galleries/museums like the ICA, the Barbican, and the Guggenheim.įollowing PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED – the critically-acclaimed run of 9 12” vinyl EP’s released this summer over 9 weeks by Trevor Jackson’s much loved PLAYGROUP project – a 23 track album edition of highlights from the vinyl will be released on December 2 nd, via Yes Wave records.
