The most violent jump lands at track five: 'Feel This Way' drops the pulse to 75 BPM and, right after, 'An Outcast Of The Islands' fires it up to 160. Everything in 'On The Jazz Corner' moves between those two extremes, and the interesting part is that it never climbs in a ramp — it zigzags, energy rising, collapsing and rising again like a late-night radio show rather than a club set.
Still, the disorder has structure. The opening climbs in steps — 95, 100, 114 — up to the first peak, Leo Pesci's live cut 'Guts' at 142. The real center of gravity runs from 'Sound Labyrinth' to '14': four tracks locked between 105 and 115 BPM, the lane where this jazz-inflected house finds cruising speed. From there the record tenses up again with 'Internationality' (142) and 'Next To Canada', which at 128 and 6:10 is both the longest cut and the closest to conventional club territory. The final descent — 'Cool Step' at 90, 'Jungle Ciuri' at 92 — breaks one last time with 'LIMERENCE', the only drum & bass entry here: Francesca Palamidessi and Archivio Futuro at 160, before 'Round Midnight' and 'Time Unfolded' restore the calm at 100 and 108.
For the booth, the sequence calls for surgery: group the 105-118 lane as your central block, keep the 142 and 160 peaks as punctuation, and save the 75-92 tempos for openings or landings. That Soulstance and Lo Greco Bros co-sign three cuts sitting exactly at the extremes — 75, 142 and 90 — says a lot about the overall intent. It also fits the house style: Irma Records, founded in Bologna in 1988 by Umberto Damiani and Massimo Benini, was born in house music and has spent decades crossing it with jazz through series like Jazz House Independent. The zigzag is no accident: it is the label's classic format translated into a tempo map.
