On any given Friday, Cool Your Jets Creative releases a new Fresh Friday. a hot and tasty vinyl mixtape with a custom cover. Tracks range from jazz to soul to hip-hop and beyond, with nearly every song ripped from original pressing vinyl, where each pop from the static patina tells a story of that record’s journey.

Walk Tall

We stand and support Black Lives. We use our privilege and our voices and our power to dismantle a racist system designed to terrorize and marginalize Black people and we do it loudly and without compromise.

All Because

2014 wouldn’t have that new car smell without the sparkle-fresh soul of Johnnie Taylor, Roy Ayer’s Ubiquity, The Crusaders, Junior Parker & Jimmy McGriff, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, The Loving Sisters, and Al Green. Because it ain’t whatcha got, it’s what you do with whatcha got that makes it groovy, baby.
