“Why make an artist album when the music industry is changing so fast? Because I’m not thinking about money just about music,” says Jacques. “Making an album involves a different approach than when you’re making a 12 inch record, I want to experiment with different musical directions and also do some collaboration. For example, the album artwork has been created by Vika Prokopaviciute a painter from Moscow, while in the CD box it there’s some poetic text by Aline Soler. She expresses emotions from music with her words.” 2010 has started off in amazing fashion with Jacks album “Inner Visions” gaining critical acclaim in the UK press including spreads in DJ magazine, DMC, UK Metro, please visit our website and download Jacks Press for PDFs of all the recent features and album reviews.

Eight years after his debut Neuro, Umek's long-awaited album Responding to Dynamic will finally be released on the Sixteenofive label. An album that inspired dancefloors worldwide and at the same time an album that was created explicitly to inspire those same party arenas. It is the year 2010 and the advent and widespread use of technology, the internet and unlimited exchange and circulation of information has rendered the classical model of the "music industry" archaic and obsolete. In this rapidly shifting and changing state of flux, artists and labels rise and fall, struggle for relevance and compete for credibility-presenting, marketing and releasing their music onto the masses.
