Jack Allsopp - Just Jack

Born in North London, Jack grew up on a diet of dance music including, break dance, electro hip hop and house. A wannabe break dancer at eight, his love of dance music led him to start DJing at the age of fifteen and he soon became submerged in DJ culture and US garage.

After completing a degree in Furniture Design Jack enrolled on a community music production course, which heightened his awareness to the potential of sampling. This inspired Jack to concentrate on perfecting his sound by night and to take on a series of unfulfilling jobs by day.

“I’ve been a washer upper, a flower arranger, a runner for a TV post production company… I even worked at Gap for while. That made me all the more determined to work at the music. I would get this down time in a studio and be recording all night, and working at Gap all day. It was knackering but it was very inspiring time.”

Jack’s debut album, ‘The Outer Marker’ is a collection of songs about modern life, relationships and the pressures of social situations. Originally released by the independent label RG Records, Just Jack’s debut album ‘The Outer Marker’ received fantastic reviews. ‘The Independent’ described it as “impressive”, Q said, “masterful”, the ‘NME’ said “Awesome. Welcome Just Jack, you rule!”, and ‘The Big Issue’ saluted Jack as “The new troubadour of daily life in the UK”.

“The Outer Marker” has recently been re-packaged and re-released and now includes extra tracks and the video for ‘Snowflakes’. It has been receiving plenty of airplay and remixes from the likes of Aphrodite and a famous Cure bootleg of ‘Snowflakes’ is now thrusting Just Jack into the limelight.

Hallohallo... ... ich hab' Just Jack auf dem Southside Festival gesehen und jetzt wüsste ich gerne wo man seine Alben zu vernünftigen Preisen kaufen kann, denn auf amazon.de gibt es von Overtones 3 Versionen, eine teurer als die andere und die beiden anderen Alben kosten 25 € oder sogar 40 €... kann mir irgendjemand helfen? I've seen Just Jack on the Southside Festival and now I like to know where I can buy his albums for reasonable prices, because on the german amazon site they are very expensive and there are a lot of different versions of Overtones.... can somebody help me?

Overtunes is a little strange album. It's lazy, poor JAck's rappin', but still great album. Love funky beat like that.
