Phew! We’ve been pretty busy with this one, you can believe it …
The annual Logjammin’-compilation is always something special for us. The first Logjammin’ back in 1999 was like the forefather of all TwoTeam compilation to come, made by Jackie Treehorn for BBQing at Jones’ place. Since then, many beers died, crates grew, people became fastidious and the Logjammin’-series is no one man show any longer.
Logjammin’ 07 was the starting point of both our collaboration and www-campaign and one of the best summer mixes ever created. So it was hard for us to top it, again compiling a broad variety of the hottest music and creating a fitting cover mirroring as much summer spirit as possible while making you smile. After finishing that and solving some technical issues, we are really proud to present you another milestone: Logjammin’ 08!

We hope you like it as much as we do.

Partners In Krime OST

(Full size images inside the zip)

Let’s continue with the real Treehorn deal! After the incredible impact of Booze Connection OST, hopes had grown really high, so Jackie Treehorn decided in 2004 to invite the legendary Lord Fuck to add some tracks. He didn’t hesitate and grabbed some great vinyls from his crates, which perfectly matched the rest and made Partners In Krime OST an adaquate successor. Listen to “Wah Wah Man” catching the vibe straight outta his bedroom, while the outstanding “Gatur Bait” should not be missing when driving the infamous battleship-grey Lord Fuck mobile. So together with Treehorn’s choices – sure shots like “Synthetic Substitution”, “The Champ”, “Hung Up” and “Iron Leg” next to special edited percussion gems like “Got Myself A Good Man” and “Funky Fast Bump” – and packed into another great Treehorn design, the flair of guns, cars and girls is taken to the top again. Enjoy!

Across 21st Gaudystreet OST

Let’s jump into 2004! Treehorn moved to Berlin a few years ago. In 2004 it was the first time that Jones visited his partner in the Treehorn-mansion. After this 72-hour-beer-drinkin’-contest between Jones & Treehorn (easy to guess who won) the funk-contest had to continue as well. Determined not to waste any time, Black Belt started to work on a new compilation to digest all experienced (…before Treehorn could). Based on the Blaxploitation-flick “Across 110th Street” (superb soundtrack & the movie itself is maybe one of the best of its genre) the name of the new counterstrike was quickly found: “Across 21st Gaudystreet”. The cover with black mustache & dark sunglasses shows the differences to other compilations: fewer of Blaxploitation more of Poliziotteschi. Featuring the all-time-favorite-composers ‘Guido & Maurizio deAngelis’, the incredible ‘Orchestra Ambros Seelos’ or the interesting ‘I Gres’, to name but a few examples for funky European music. Meanwhile, it was usual to give every song a dramaturgic edit, to mix it up & to create a convincing artwork. So enjoy the next big hit by Black Belt Jones. Don’t miss the nice “Fania All Stars Edit”, the extraordinary sound of “Airto Fogo” or the got-to-have-that-record-funk of Ramsey & Co.’s “Love Call”. The icing on the cake is the special guest appearance by “K” a.k.a. Klaus Kinski, who’s got some warm German words for all of us. And please bear with some self-given titles, but my Italian is not as good as my Swahili…

Booze Connection OST

(Full size images inside the zip)

At the end of this fantastic year 2003 with an incredible output, Jackie Treehorn decided to finally accept Mr Jones as his partner. Deeply impressed by all the inventions this guy had made, he started to produce “Booze Connection OST”, a real masterpiece which is still one of his favorites. So for the first time “T” invited Slick “TNT” Jackson and Junior “The Pimp” to be part of the next big thing, and apart from that he even managed to convince Berlin’s #1 Booze Fighter Danamyte D to join the line-up.
The result was a soundtrack that exceeded all expectations!
To get “B” down on his knees (surely not for a talk into the pink microphone as he might have hoped), Jackie Treehorn hit him with the full force of his audio-visual arsenal, creating an extremely slick artwork and picking a selection of killer-tracks, which he edited and mixed to an ear-blasting plot. No chase too fast, no cruise too slow, no bid too high and no joke too tasteless. Adding some bad bitches and a couple of beers, he was done setting the pattern for what was to come.

Be sure not to miss all this wah-wah madness, from Apollis via Jesse Anderson to the Montgomery Express. Also pay attention to T’s Gun Fight Edit of Willie Chase and the alcohol-driven Ape Shuffle and Executive Party, perfectly delivering the flavor of the TwoTeam’s working day straight into your ears.
And if any of you guys know tracks 4 & 5, please drop me a line! These heavy ones I once discovered on a mixtape by Mr Ken Sport (Prescription #2, go get it at Mass’s place), who wasn’t willing to answer me …

Cruisin’ Brothers OST

Strike!!! “Cruisin’ Brothers OST” is the 2nd official ‘Jones’-release of a TwoTeam-adventure. In September 2003, only a few month after “2 Tough Guys” hits the floor, an even more funkier sampler should straighten out who’s the champ of diggin’ the funky crates. Themes of chase & cruising, more funk & more blaxploitation are the ingredients of this copshow-receipt. “The Tough Guys are back” was the working title, and this time the fictive names of the tracks are more “title” than “fictive”! I wouldn’t be called ‘Black Belt’, if I don’t bring the whole thing to the next level. I questioned myself: ‘Something is still missing for a Soundtrack of a Motion Picture?’ - Sure! Scenes from the flick! Here we got the first booklet in the young TwoTeam-History.

Let’s jump into the muscle-car, get your guns n’ booze out of the glove box and join the funny wah-wah-action with the twoteam…
