Just Jack

Sometimes a little Madness can help a lot. Jack Allsopp -- better known as Just Jack –
had worked as a flower arranger, gardener, and cleaner ("anything to put crust on the table") before he landed a job at RGRecords. Allsopp casually handed over a copy of his demo to the label's owner, Chas Smith, the man who used to sing and dance up a storm in Madness. Smith fell in love with Just Jack's sound and quickly signed Allsopp to a four-album deal.
Electro, hip-hop, and house always excited him. Allsopp has fused the elements of his musical influences, and added his own English twist, and recorded the "Snowflakes" single for RGR in 2003.

Radio support came quickly and a mash-up mix of "Snowflakes" and the Cure's "Lullaby" by Eddy Temple Morris and Jay Reynolds became an instant club smash. The popular mash-up was added to the U.S. release of Just Jack's debut, The Outer Marker, released by TVT in late 2003. In 2006 he released the elaborate and laidback album Overtones rave reviews.

"The same can be said for the rest of the sophomore album, Overtones, an intoxicating, even disarming blend of of hip-hop, disco, house and funk." - www.indielondon.co.uk
