The first solo EP on Ghetto Division Records comes from a talented veteran of Chicago dance
music, Jorge Ortega - or as he might be better known, MaddJazz. A skilled turntablist and
respected producer, MaddJazz brings hard-earned experience and grounding to Ghetto Division.
While he calls on his time spent trading tricks with the best of Chicago’s hip-hop scene – which
placed him third in three consecutive DMC heats – MaddJazz has an ear for more trend-making
fare, as the Mind of a Maddman EP clearly shows.
“Everybody Move” is a great example of a fresh take on Chicago house Ghetto Division is
known for, taking classic diva vocals and turning it all into a bass-heavy electro monster sure to
pack a dancefloor. A constant in Ghetto Division mixes, “Jack Move” is a proven crowd-pleaser,
with its chopped-up alarm siren, and instant party-starter drop. Dubstep-influenced “Selekta
Riddim” is a bassy slow-burner, sure to test the limits of your subs and what’s more, are the
amazingly diverse remixes by Figure, Proper Villains and Ultravid. Figure’s Brooklyn Fire
Remix speeds it up without losing a single bit of bass, Proper Villains adds a touch of dutch
house to his own unpredictable style and from Belgium, Ultravid’s standout remix sets Selekta
Riddim on a proper UK funky tip. “Take Me Higher” is a nod to filter disco and disco-house and
as an extra special rave track, Mind of a Maddman closes out with the long-awaited release of
“N2 The Music,” which has been featured in countless GD DJ sets and is a must-have for
anyone looking for a prime example of the Ghetto Division sound.
If MaddJazz’s Mind of a Maddman EP is just a preview of the label’s future solo EPs, you can be
sure Ghetto Division Records will deliver some serious fire in future releases.
