WELCOME TO VINYLJAM.COM!
Vinyl Jam is a former record label / studio project / band based in Helsinki, Finland. Vinyl Jam was founded and is kept rolling by Andre Solomko, independent producer, composer and saxophonist.
We are happy to announce that we are now signed by French label Favorite Recordings, and our future releases will carry the Favorite logo. Worldwide distribution is handled by Pusher Distribution, Paris, France.
Our mission is within logo "AAA", which can be found on all our releases: "Analog, Analog, Analog", meaning we are doing records. Please note that our productions are not only recorded and mixed in analog, they are also mastered in analog. This is unfortunately not very typical these days. Approximately 90% of modern vinyl is done from digital sources, cut back to analog media. We feel it to be deeply wrong. We believe that vinyl record is an analogue media, and should be preserved as such. So you can call us the "last dinosaurs" if you wish... |

The record is produced in a fully analogue environment with minimum overdubs, following our label's slogan "like in old glorious times". Recorded at VinylJam studio and mixed at Clonework studio. Direct-from-tape mastering was done by Graeme Durham (the Exchange studios, London). Produced by Andre Solomko. Vinyl Jam Records/Bisamedia (BISAM00003). |

"Vinyl Jam" 12" 33 rpm lp release date 09.05.2007
Our self-titled pilot release is a revival of the classical 70's club sound: a mixture of soft-funk, bluesy soul and latin rock. The smooth and mellow sound palette of entire record is complemented by a combination of saxophones and violas on such tracks as "Sad disco" and "Melancholy" and blowing grooves and wild solos on "Action directe" and "Chick Latin Femine". The warm sound of all-analogue recording, direct-from-tape mastering produce a great quality vinyl with no corners cut. Produced by saxophonist and producer Andre Solomko. Recorded and mixed at VinylJam studio, Helsinki, Finland. Mastered at The Echange Studios, London by Graeme Durham. Pressed in France.
