Roland Clark | Resist (Jason Jinx Soul Power vs. Andrew Emil Dreamix)

Roland Clark | Resist (Jason Jinx Soul Power vs. Andrew Emil Dreamix) Ran across this while cleaning out an old hard drive and it got me all in the feels. I formed a friendship with Jason well over sixteen years ago when I had a monthly residency at Zentra. No one ever brought him out to Chicago, but myself from what I can remember, as I always wondered why he didn’t make it here more often. What started as friendly booking direct, turned into a friendship and musical dialogue just as long. Jason Zambito aka Jason Jinx was among the first wave of artists, along with other early 90s NYC Rave Stalwarts, such as UK transplant DJ DB and DJ Dara —who went on to open Breakbeat Science, the store and label—launched Sm;)e Communications, and the short-lived F-111 Records. My first introduction to his work was a Sm;)e 10” release I got in 1996, and I was just a fan of his multidimensional musical vibes. We played together often in Chicago, and it was a few years since I spoke to him before his untimely passing in 2019. A Long Island native, Jason was such a sweetheart, kind soul, and Uber-talented man of music. I made this a long time ago as a personal DJ Tool and totally forgot about it until I just found it. I am just posting this up for FREE as a tribute and forget me not from one of the pillars of New York City’s house music sound for an era. Liked below are the streaming and DL links, as well as lovely journaling about his life and early 90s NYC Rave—No School Like the Old Skool—from one of Jason’s best mates over the years—DJ DB—and it’s very endearing. Certainly read that, grab this edit, and play his music more often. A Dear Friend, Gone Too Soon, Never Forgotten: Jason Jinx
