'Jam Hot' is a slinky, soul-stirring number that channels 1940s swing to deliver a unique hip hop sound of the near future. The charismatic delivery of the cheeky lyrics lures the listener in, building imagery of a smoke-filled nightspot of a bygone era.

It's jungle-infused rhythm is lead by a hot-steppin' bass line that drives this undeniable dance floor filler from beginning to end. Just try not to shimmy along to this beat.

'Jam Hot' is taken from Koolism's long-awaited fifth album, "The 'Umu" (pron. Oo-moo). After a three year hiatus, DJ/ producer, Danielsan, and MC, Hau, are ready to unleash an album filled with the usual Koolism ingredients - soul, love and hip hop.

Hau explains the meaning behind the title:

"'Umu" is a Tongan word for an underground oven - a cooking technique that is practiced throughout the South Pacific. It's a long and tiring process in which to prepare and to cook food slowly and thoroughly, but it's results are rewarding and enjoyed by all who feast on it.

That's what I feel this album is like. A lot of time, money, heart and soul went into making this album, in which many cases, made it quite grueling and trying. But after all that, the fruits of our labour are now ready to enjoy. And you know how Tongans eat, so you better get a big plate and fill it up!"

"The 'Umu" will be ready early 2009, so get your forks and knives ready.
