- About:
Equal parts Detroit & Chicago, JaGoFF is the musical intersection of wherever waste dumps & abandoned factories meet the $5 lap dance and HAM radio. It is lo-fi. subversive, sweet soul polluted by lost weekends of sweaty booty, downtempo breakbeats and massive bass. Perversely honest, strangely beautiful and badass funky. Expect BIG thangs.

JaGoFF REVIEWS:
----------------------------------------
**** (4 STARS). "Dark and funky, this album is a little bit Prince, Roy Davis Jr and a little bit Disco D. Dancable and free, each song gets the ass shakin’ a little bit more. The project is so sexy that if you haven’t gotten any by the closing song, "Baby FaTT", you need a new face."
URB Magazine, 7/2005
"Following successful nationwide treks on the Warped Tour in 2003 and 2004, Chicago-born JaGoFF decided it was finally time to collect their music onto a debut LP. Theres One Born Every Minute showcases this DJ duos aptitude for mixing tight techno beats and old-school funk bass lines with a unique vocal collision of high falsettos and Barry White-like basses. And as might be evident from their name, they love to pack each song with morsels of sexual innuendo (see Bust A Nut, Bump That Ass, and Interspecies Embryo Transfer)."
Illinois Entertainer 12/05 Carter Moss
"Impossibly deep funk bass lines, crazy-eyed crew sing-alongs and a gritty bent put the Chi-town squad in post-Parliament territory. But this isn’t just the orthodox funk of George Clinton’s famed outfit. Between its rich harmonies and lyrical edge, is everything from gospel to rap."

"Finally a successer to George Clinton ...
the missing link between funk and hip-hop."
Bokson Music Magazine (France) 04/05
"Delightfully grotesque display of gluttiny with a bump of sardonic apathy to the commodification of the female gender, and the extreme displays of casual sexuality ubiquitous among the secular populations so burdened by such marketing tactics. My head could not stop bobbing untill my headphones fell off." - Eric Donovan Lester 12/06
