JaGoFF News:

11/02/07 - We have been in the studeo and believe it or not, we are ALMOST finished with the NEW RECORD. We are doing the final clean-up, then off the mastering. We haven't settled on the album title yet. There are some pretty good ones in contention. It's gonna be a good one. More soon

10/23/07 - In keeping with the Halloween spirt , we have posted a rough mix of the track "Boogieman" (from the upcoming album). Give a listen while you can, it will be up for the next couple of weeks.

8/8/07 - We've have posted the photo gallery from Chicago Scene's Boat Party. It was ridiculous. Check 'em out here.

06/08/07 - We've have posted the photo gallery from LOOPTOPIA. Check 'em out.

5/12/07 - JaGoFF made it on the WGN News and CLTV, last night, for their coverage of LOOPTOPIA !!! NBC was also there to cover the event.

Thanks to all of you that came out to the JaGoFF show @ MFChicago's LOOPTOPIA party. The turn-out was absolutely amazing, we reached capacity (our apologies to those of you who missed out). Bottom line is that it had to be the best stage we ever played on, period. How often can you throw a party, on the loading dock of a landmark, Louis Sullivan building for you and a couple thousand people on the streets of Chicago and bomb the bass to such ridiculous levels? Let alone, have a massive trash compactor and a hundred surveillance cameras as part of the stage set-up. Haha. Everyone involved threw down amazing sets.

Our dressing room was the entire Carson, Pirie, Scott Dept Store - it was very creepy, as it was completely empty, so we explored all 4 floors and sub-basements. We were expecting to see some ghosts. Maybe they will show up in some of the photos. There were a whole load of news crews out and about, so we are certain that it will be popping up here and there. more.

In terms of the overall event, there were so many shows that we wanted to catch, but time simply did not allow it. The city streets were still teaming with people at 2am. With the weather being so cool, we were thinking that the crowd would have been thin, pleased to see that we were wrong. We are certain that it will be around again next year.

The city threw one hell of a party last night. Kudos to the City of Chicago, Mayor Daley and the crew of MF Chicago for throwing such an amazing bash. ... a sad note: This was our last performance with Mistress Kimchee Love, who is moving to Hawaii to start a new life. Thanks for some of the craziest shows, performances and memories, thank God for video and photos. We wish you the absolute best. That was one helluva send off! ... and last, but certainly not least, many thanks to Phat Tony for busting his ass to get to the show for another installment of incredible photos. the results of which, will be posted asap.

Coverage can be found on: NBC , WGN (Click on "Looptopia" in the video player.), WGN (Click on "Chicago holds first all-night Looptopia" in the video player.)

5/08/07 - FRIDAY, MAY 11TH, JaGoFF will be performing at the premiere of LOOPTOPIA in DOWNTOWN CHICAGO. This will be our first Chicago performance in almost a year ... so, come party with us and a couple hundred thousand of our closest friends THIS FRIDAY, MAY 11TH, on the streets of Downtown Chicago at the incredible premiere of LOOPTOPIA - the party is FREE and goes from dusk till dawn ...

JaGoFF will be playing several tracks from our upcoming album and will be supported by the MF Chicago video gang, along with our lovely dancers and the whole crew. This performance is bittersweet, as we bid a fond farwell to Mistress Kimchee Love, who is packing her bags for Hawaii, just hours after her performance. That said, bring your cameras because who knows what tricks she has up her black latex thigh highs. Please come by and wish her well. At this time, we would also like to thank the deliciously evil Clandestina, who after joining the JaGoFF crew onstage for several past performances, has left the country for a new life in Mexico City. We will miss you and wish you all the best.

LOOPTOPIA. "America's first dusk-to-dawn cultural and artistic spectacle showcasing the vibrancy and excitement of Chicago's historic Loop neighborhood through musical and theatrical performances, unique shopping and dining opportunities, indoor programs, outdoor exhibitions, architectural tours, artistic installations and mesmerizing light displays." We will be transforming the loading dock of the old Carson's building (Just east of State St. at Madison) into an electronic dance and visual spectacle. Each music act is either a live AV show or accompanied by live video artists. Featuring:Paul Johnson with VJs Big mini & 3pHaze, Brobot, Monologic with VJs pixeldixie & Mason Dixion, DJ Adonis TFU with Video Janitor, Shudder Inc. and 0+1=everything

2/24/07 - JaGoFF has been selected as CNET's "Editor's Pick" on Download.com. Check it out. "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, it is everything from gospel to rap." Many thanks to the wonderful CNET editors for the love.

2/20/07 - We have just posted a sneak preview of "SHOCK AND AWE" - one of the tracks from the upcoming album, on our MySpace page. It's a burner. We are expecting to have things winding up shortly for an early summer release. It's gonna be FUNKAAAAY

01/10/06: JaGoFF just received a sweet lil' review from IE, "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. There’s One Born Every Minute showcases this DJ duo’s 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”)." 12/05 – Carter Moss . Thanks guys.
