THE JAM JAR 113 • Curated By Pat Lok
Today's a special one, with the newest edition of the Jam Jar curated by our very good homie and Vancouver's own smooth operator, Pat Lok. A combination of inventive arrangements and buttery beats, Pat's selection comes as a great display of what he's all about, and a clear invite to get up on your feet and move. Pro tip: don't miss the ratings. But enough from us now, we'll let him take it from here, and be sure to check his upcoming dates while you're at it. Enjoy!

Fetty Wap — Trap Queen (Figgy Remix)
Killer club bootleg of the Soundcloud tune of the year from NYC's Figgy. Great for all sorts of occasions! I'll be playing this at Splash House for sure.

Billboard — Souvenir
Found out about this guy after Dr Luke tweeted about him. Not sure what the deal is but all his stuff is super tight. Sort of Valerie Collective (remember them?) meets Oliver.

Jean Tonique — What You Wanna Do (Feat. Dirty Radio)
Gotta give love to my Vancouver brethren Dirty Radio on this jam of a collab with France's Jean Tonique. Mista Jam played this on BBC 1Xtra twice in a row and Yuksek dug it enough to release it on PartyFine, so there ya go.

Janet Jackson — Got Til It's Gone [Dr. MaD REMIX]
Not always a fan of Janet remixes (most are cliche) but stumbled across this dude Dr. MaD. It's sped up quite a bit but still super groovy and all vibes, kind of a chill trap thing goin on preceding a 4/4 house bit.

Potatohead People — Broke The Pen (feat. Mosaic)
Remember the name Potatohead People, if you aren't familiar. Slick head-nodding rnb production over sublime jazz chords, they'll be ringing out very soon.

Chris McClenney — Booty (On the Floor)
Chris McClenney makes great beats but not a lot of house stuff. My friend Ekali put me onto this one, who knew he could sing a lil bit too.

James Deen — An Unwritten Love Letter To Summer Roberts
James Deen is another newer name from Vancouver, but I fucks wit dis. Somehow the vibe reminds me of Ryan Hemsworth if he wasn't trying be so goddamn cute.

Kartell — Mood
My favorite song of Kartell's terrific EP on Roche Musique, which is saying something. I speed it up a little bit for my dj sets but man is this a sexy burner. So appropriately titled too!

Sam Gellaitry — Us
Yung Sam Gellaitry makes a lot of beats. I'm not sure what to say about him except he probably can't drink legally for another 4 years.
