JACQUES GREENE — Jg LP

Jacques Greene – jg LP arrives on LuckyMe as catalogue LM124LP, a 12-inch vinyl that marks the Montreal producer’s third studio outing. Branded as his first self-confessed “club album”, the record gathers eleven razor-sharp electro tracks, each honed for the dancefloor and assembled with the help of Pearson Sound’s mix and Joker’s mastering. While LuckyMe’s recent catalogue is not detailed here, the release follows Greene’s earlier LuckyMe outings – the double-LP Dawn Chorus (LM059LP, 2019) and the EP Fever (LM054EP1, 2018) – showing a continued partnership with the label that has supported his evolution from the breakout “Another Girl” era to this more immediate, hopeful statement. Side A opens with “1: Closer” (feat. DJ BORING), a track that sets a focused tone and leads into “2: Presence”, a piece that sustains the momentum with a steady groove. “3: Seconds” (feat. Ouri & Jonah Yano) follows, offering a slightly more reflective mood before “4: Two” (feat. SAM-E) adds a subtle shift in energy. “5: Everyone” (feat. SEES00000) continues the forward drive, while “6: Time To Go” (feat. CFCF) introduces a brief pause that heightens the subsequent “1: What You Say” (feat. Umru). The side closes with “2: Breathe” (feat. Crushed), “3: Waiting” (feat. Sølv), “4: Halation” and “5: Slowly”, each extending the album’s narrative of immediacy and joy, moving from restrained intensity to a more expansive finish. The record’s construction reflects Greene’s comment that stripping away “a ton of filters and reverbs” left a more direct, sometimes intense collection of work. This stripped-back approach translates on vinyl as a clear, kinetic flow that rewards DJs looking for tracks that can be layered or mixed with minimal transition, while collectors will appreciate the cohesive arc that moves from club-ready peaks to more contemplative moments. From a DJ’s perspective, the eleven tracks provide a toolbox for both peak-time energy and more nuanced set moments. The opening cuts deliver tight, dancefloor-ready momentum, ideal for building a set, whereas the later tracks such as “Halation” and “Slowly” offer space for deeper, more atmospheric passages. The featured collaborators – DJ BORING, Ouri, CFCF, Umru and others – add distinct textures that keep the record fresh across multiple playthroughs. The physical format is a 12-inch vinyl, presenting the full eleven-track sequence without compromise. Its presentation aligns with the album’s intent to deliver a pure, unfiltered listening experience that mirrors Greene’s recent creative focus.
