Traffic Signs & Jake The Rapper – Cookie Jar

Inspired by the success of last summer’s retrospective on Poker Flat, Steve Bug takes up his Traffic Signs moniker once more for a fabulous jam that more than merits the 10-year wait. The unaccredited tunes that first came out under this name were classic jack tracks that devoured the dancefloors – and ‘Cookie Jar’ is a more than worthy successor.
 
This is stripped-down Chicago-esque house, direct and determined to make you move. Berlin legend Jake The Rapper adds downright dirty humor with a spoken vocal fit for an age of internet sextapes and celebrity photo hacking. “I like what you’re cookin. Those cookies smell goooood,”
 
Three mixes sprinkle the musical equivalent of chocolate chips, pecans and Brazilian stardust over the original.
 
Steve Bug makes fine adjustments for the club with his Dirty Fingers Remix, bouncing around the kick drums and doubling the synth riff with strings.
 
Joyce Muniz’s dark, strobing treatment adds a dirty bass line for sexy, sweat-drenched dance floors everywhere. Stripping away the vocal on the dub, Muniz’s production talents are all the more scintillating, irresistibly kinetic from beginning to end.
