ANTH01

Originally released in 2011, Jacques Greene’s “Another Girl” helped define a moment when dubstep’s broken rhythms and low-end intensity gave way to a springier strain of bass music, one equally influenced by the skipping grooves of house and garage. The song’s chopped-up R&B vocals established the producer’s instantly recognizable melodic signature, paving the way for a string of fleet-footed club anthems and, eventually, his debut album, 2017’s *Feel Infinite*, and its 2019 follow-up, *Dawn Chorus*. To commemorate the 10th anniversary of his breakout hit, Greene gathers a selection of early cuts on *Anth01*, and together they offer a snapshot of a dynamic club-music sensibility taking shape. “I Won’t,” a previously unreleased staple of Greene’s live sets, feels like a companion piece to “Another Girl,” but with a wriggly 303 pattern balancing the song’s airy vocal chops. On some of his very earliest tracks—“(Baby I Don’t Know) What You Want,” from a 2010 Night Slugs split, and “The Look” and “Tell Me,” both from 2010’s *The Look* EP—Greene snips ribbon-like a cappellas over an array of UKG and deep house beats. The Koreless collab “Arrow” and the How to Dress Well-featuring “On Your Side” both look toward the more expansive styles he would pursue on his albums, while the 2012 rarity “Faded” rearranges his customary elements into a darker, more brooding shape than is customary for him. And the collection finishes the only way possible: with the delicately filigreed “Another Girl,” gracefully bringing the story full circle.

A collection of Tracks from early out of print Jacques Greene 12”s spanning the first 10 years of his career. Featuring the classics that introduced him to the world - The Look and Another Girl - as well as collaborations with Koreless and How To Dress Well tracks from his releases on 3024, Night Slugs and his own Vase imprint and two new exclusive lost tracks from the era. I Won’t and Faded. Greene has been making music “about the club” for over a decade. His sound has developed into an emotional haze exemplified on his Feel Infinite and Dawn Chorus Albums. Outside of his own releases, Greene has explored his relationship with the club in a variety of contexts, from remixing Radiohead to producing for Katy B and Tinashe and touring with The xx. “A decade since he released his first EP, he’s still finding new paths to euphoria.” PITCHFORK “Finely-sculpted excursions into the hybrid house/garage/bass sound that he helped spark around the turn of the decade, an unwaveringly great set of tracks that are buoyant, melodic and pretty much mesmerising.” MIXMAG “Mesmerising electronics for the club, after-party, and beyond” DJ MAG

Canadian producer Jacques Greene emerged at the beginning of the 2010s with a series of tracks that combined the galloping tempos of U.K. garage with melancholy snippets from R&B tunes and traces of acid house synths, sculpting the tracks to build up to emotional crests and smoothing it all out with an atmospheric sheen.
