Spinnerty grew up as a typical Midwestern kid getting shuttled around to soccer practice in the back seat of his parent’s car listening to The Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins. Somehow he found his start playing regularly in jazz bands from middle school through to college. “I loved the music,” Spinnerty says, “but sitting under fluorescent lights and playing tunes from sixty years ago seemed to be missing the point of the jazz movement historically. The natural next steps for Spinnerty were to get into the varieties of current music that were derived from jazz and connect the dots to the originators of this inspired genre.

This summer of 2010 Record Breakin’ Music is releasing Spinnerty’s latest production, Just Listen Pt. 1 & 2. “Just Listen Pt. 1” features John Robinson aka Lil’ Sci and on “Just Listen Pt. 2” we have the newcomer Jacqueline Marie on the vocals. Once word got out about these tracks, offers came in to remix the project and Frisco’s very own Funksta B. Bravo came through with a futuristic take on the boom bap vibe of Just Listen Pt. 1. Meanwhile, Dj Limbs put together a funk upbeat remix to Just Listen Pt. 2.

The remixes (released on vinyl as well as digital) will drop late June and I believe the ‘normal’ release is dropping later this month (digital only). To keep ya’ll hungry we’re streaming a low quality version of “Just Listen Pt. 2″ and we got this exclusive “Just Listen” promo mix from Spinnerty as a FREE download. Tracklist is coming up…after the jump.

My oh my, what a year this is promising to be. So many good releases when it comes to Electronic Beats. We have the new Mr. Dibiase “Cakeology” release on Fat City and what a selection of goodness this is. A few joints on here are nothing less than amazing! “Brazilian Lady” is just mind-boggling and even comes close to a Pete Rock production in my book. A few of you might have snagged this from his Myspace already, but it’s official now. Another favourite of mine is “Be Fly” which is soothing and eases ones mind. All in all a quality EP with some heavy hitters on it if you ask me. You can BUY the vinyl at our friends at Rushhour so you’d better order while supllies last.
