Jason Sparks debut album -‘Heroes & Villains LP’, showed Jason’s take on the breakbeat sound as unique and distinctive and somewhat detached from any trends, past, present or future; Seeping into the mainstream consciousness, this project has gained attention from Tayo (Kiss FM), Annie Nightingale (Radio 1), Rosie Kendrick (Jazz FM). Single leader ‘Secret Place’ which featured Rachel Modest (Bluefoot Project) gained 6 weeks play - A List action on the cutting edge DAB station radio 1 Xtra, while holding Number 1 slot for 2 consecutive weeks in the Capital Club chart. Now, Botchit and Scarper deliver a fresh piece of wax with the sounds of ‘I’m In You’. The lead track Taken from the album featuring deeply haunting vocals courtesy of none other than Jim Sclavunos of The Vanity Set (who, incidentally is the drummer in Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, formerly of The Cramps!) b/w Chris caters dancefloor version – a must have!
The cover photo of the "Heros and Villains" LP, is of Jason's mom and dad on honeymoon in Greece 1969.
What they said
Annie Nightingale (Radio One) Jan,04
"Amazingly Deep, Emotive breaks played by God” Mixmag. (Heroes & Villains lp). Jason Sparks delivers another slice of euphoric building bass beats! With influences as wide ranging as Miles Davis, John Barry & My Bloody Valentine you should expect the unexpected.” (UNDERCOVER MARCH 2005)
“Jason scores again with this superb slammer, after his unforgettable ‘Left to Live For’ on the Botchit Breaks 2 compilation, the guy is really digging in
"
DJ Magazine feb, 04
"I don’t know where they keep getting them from but Botchit seem to have an unerring knack for uncovering funk-arse breaks-loving muthafuckas… Jason Sparks is the latest in that line"
BPM album of the month, feb, 04
"People are heaping a lot of praise on Mr Sparks, from John Peel to rivals like Freq Nasty and deservedly so! If you like Faithless mixed with Plump DJ’s you’ll Love Jason Sparks"
