For the this installment of Just Jack's YouTune feature, we welcome one of our favourite DJ's to dish up 10 tracks that make him go a little weak at the knee's. For most of us Jackers, Lee Curtiss will require little introduction... responsible for some sublime productions, a master behind the decks and one of the infamous Visionquest inner-circle, Lee has rocked many a Just Jack and, after a stellar closing set in the infamous Just Jack warehouse, we unanimously decided that he'd become one of our all-time favourite DJs.

Without a house or techno beat in sight, we are proud to present Lee Curtiss' YouTune...

"You'll see him on this list a couple times... I haven't heard a new artist who's music moves me and is this well written."

"I was raised on Bob and just saw him in Detroit last year. He's one of the best song writers that has ever lived and delivered an unbelievable performance at 70yrs old"

"Another one of the coolest emerging artists in the last couple years... beautiful fusion of electronica and edgy pop."

"As I said before, his melodies, voice and musical ability is that of the greats... watch for his career to take off like a rocket ship to the cosmos"

"Pop music as it's meant to be... her voice is what dreams are made of."

"One of the greatest love songs from a man to a woman ever written."

"The greatest break up song for a midwestern boy there is... it explains perfectly the way the road tears love apart and separates the life you knew as you move into the ever changing world of being a touring musician."

"The funniest (even though i don't think it was meant to be) hair band, heavy metal video imaginable."

"My friends have tried to torture me with this song for years but i still fucking love it."

"The lyrics alone say it all.... what's your name, who's your daddy? is he rich like me? has he taken, any time, to show you what you need to live?"
