Spin: J Rocc – Some Cold Rock Stuf

one comment


This is a pretty great album and one that increasingly, doesn’t really have place to be celebrated. Honestly, I only checked it out after reading Nate Patrin’s review for Pitchfork, mostly because he seemed to think it was interesting but ultimately just alright, and those are often my favorite favorite kinds of albums. Other than “Rocchead’s “Delight,” the first track with all the different records cut-up to say “rock,” nothing on here is too turntable-y and the whole thing just reallymoves. Also, a total CD purchase in that it all glides together in a way that 4 sides of vinyl won’t allow. The most interesting thing about Some Cold Rock Stuf though, is its occasional nods to just straight dance–”Play This (Also),” “Too Many Clowns”–and “Party,” which really is just a 90s house single. The “Play This Too” single from last year features an even more house-y version of “Party” called “Party (Boogie Man Remix)” and it bleeds right into “Star,” a disco track. It all suggests J. Rocc could easily be some kind of bleeding-edge hipster DJ/producer if he wanted to be. Blah blah blah, anybody else out there really feeling this? Oh yeah, review’s right here.
