Like other legends before him Broderick Jackson can not be classified, or defined by any particular one sound or genre. He is constantly changing and evolving with the musical landscape around him, while at the same time adding his own colors and forms to that landscape. That landscape is dance music..........
Broderick Jackson was born in Kansas in 1975. You're likely to think of fiddles and ho-downs, but on the contrary, Jackson comes from a musical family. His father has been a bass player for more than 40 years who found himself playing alongside bands like Bob Marley and The Wailers, as well as many of the great Jazz Legends coming out of Kansas City. His uncle is a classically trained singer, who has headed up some of the most sought after bands in the midwest music scene, such as "Justin Case" and "The JJ5."
At the age of 16, after moving to Seattle to M.C. in a band with his father, Jackson met the legendary Donald Glaude and found the music that he would later sculpt into a funky jazzy pulse that would change the Kansas City party scene forever. In 1998 after soaking up all that Seattle had to offer (Donald Glaude, D.J. Dan, Garth, Jeno, Rabbit and the Moon, Peace Frog, Bassex Crew, the list goes on and on), he packed up and brought his sound back to Kansas City. Shortly after his arrival he began organizing events like "Revelations," a weekly residency held with Kansas City House Pioneer D. J. Chris at The Granada. After years of club politics, Jackson was ready to branch off into throwing parties. He formed a crew called "Cosmic Mafia", which later became the "Loop Crew." Jackson and crew honed their skills by producing some of the largest electronic events ever to hit the Midwest, culminating with the now nationally recognized Chaos Theory trilogy. Now the crew was ready to diversify. Spreading throughout the city, building club nights, holding down residencies, promoting events, starting marketing agencies and last but not least being the founder of this great crew, Broderick Jackson, teamed up with Kansas City's legendary D.J./Producer E. Rivera to form "The Loop Recordings."
