BRIAN JACKSON – EP One – 2 x 12” EP – Vinyl [OCT 24]

2 x 12” EP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

Take Brian Jackson and Gil Scott-Herons iconic track The Bottle, add a sublime vocal performance from UK soul legend Omar, and put it in the hands of house music pioneers Masters At Workand you get a version thats both timeless and urgent, filled with joy, fire, and social consciousness, and built for the dancefloor.

Driven by Masters At Works signature attention to detail, and elevated by the calibre of the musicians and vocalists involved, this reimagining of The Bottle evolved into something truly epic. In fact, the final mix turned out too long to fit on Brian Jacksons upcoming 3LP album, Now More Than Everbut everyone agreed: fans had to hear it in its full glory.

So here it is, released exactly as intended on this twin 12″ vinyl and digital EP.

Also included are exclusive versions of:
Winter in America featuring sonorous vocals from Rich Medina

New York City, reimagined as a deeply soulful, downtempo groove featuring Cindy Mizelle, Dawn Tallman, and Ramona Dunlap.

This EP is a love letter to the role of music in Black Liberation, reconnecting the powerful legacy of Brian Jackson and Gil Scott-Heron with the voices and vision of 2025.

A powerful taste of whats to come on Now More Than Everbut also a vital standalone statement, delivered by legends at the top of their game.
