BLAQWELL

The soul of a dancer runs through each interlocking groove, foot-stomping bass line, and
shoulder-shaking beat Blaqwell, aka Jamel Rankins, creates. Each note is brilliantly painted
with thick layers of sultry funk and tinted by the legacy of house music history.  A talent often
recognized by DJs and industry luminaries the world over. His releases on Toolroom, Brobot
Records, Simma Black, W&O Street Tracks, and more have gained support from a diverse
group of artists including Low Steppa, Kerri Chandler, Marco Corolla, Maya Jane Coles, Roger
Sanchez, Mark Knight, Frankie Rizardo, and the late great Frankie Knuckles.
