RECORDKINGZ TV: Buckwild interview

RECORDKINGZ TV: Buckwild interview
Clearly not content with running the Recordkingz rare beats store and producing his own brand of quality superheavy hip-hop, Juliano Creator is branching into video media with the launch of the Recordkingz TV show. You can expect a new video every two weeks (so I don’t think he’ll be bothering the Murdoch clan just yet) which will showcase such nuggets as Craig G giving an exclusive interview and freestyle, UK MC Stylah chatting to Just Blaze and Juliano about making beats and D.I.T.C. crew member Buckwild kicking the whole thing off with an interview featuring his own bad self.

CAPITAL 1212 – Don Man Sound feat. Tenor Fly – Invade The Carnival EP

CAPITAL 1212 – Don Man Sound feat. Tenor Fly – Invade The Carnival EP
It’s all about the bass north of the border and here to prove it are Capitol 1212, though they have roped in wee Sassenach Tenor Fly (formerly of The Freestylers) to provide vocal assistance. Unlike most EPs of this nature (the original mix plus a remixes) it’s tricky to choose between them, though J Star does his usual – er – star (sorry) turn and thus probably has the edge if anyone does……READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND – What Goes Around Comes Around - 2010 – Album review

DIPLOMATS OF SOLID SOUND – What Goes Around Comes Around - 2010 – Album review
HIGHLIGHTS: B.O.O.G.A.L.O.O. – Back Off – Gimme One More Chance – Pistol Allen
SOUNDBITE: “B double O, G, A, L double O!”
RATING: 4/5
Diplomats Of Solid Sound - comin’ at ya straight from the Corn Belt! Yeah that’s right, you know it - it’s not just Bill Bryson, Slipknot and – er – cereal that come from Iowa you know. And D.O.S.S. aren’t going to bore you with endless travelling anecdotes or sniff a bottled foetus and puke through a weird mask either. No, they’ll be throwing down that good old funky soul…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

TIGER TALES – Stand Upright

TIGER TALES – Stand Upright
Austrian funkers Tiger Tales express their feelings on poor posture in no uncertain terms on their new single which is a frenetic horns-led funk workout showcasing the raucous, soulful pipes of the exotically named Cleo Panther. Just kidding about the posture (Es war ein Englischer Witz ja?), actually…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

BIG PIMP JONES – Jimmy Ruckus & The 5 Fingers Of Death – LP details + tracklist

BIG PIMP JONES – Jimmy Ruckus & The 5 Fingers Of Death – LP details + tracklist
With a name like Jimmy Ruckus & The Five Fingers Of Death it could only be the soundtrack to a kung fu flick or a really nasty porn film. As it turns out it pretends to be the former though, given that wah-wah guitar is a constant throughout - it could function as either. As an exercise in early seventies kung fu soundtrack pastiche this is pretty peerless, not only because it’s about as authentic as, well, an early seventies kung fu flick sound track but because, um, nobody else is doing early seventies kung fu soundtrack pastiches. Expect lots of instros rich in the aforementioned wah-wah guitar, horns licks, stank bass and fatback drums punctuated with snatches of ridiculous dialogue from the ‘film’ like…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

THE DT6 – ‘Donkey Chop b/w Scotstoun Shuffle’ 45

THE DT6 – ‘Donkey Chop b/w Scotstoun Shuffle’ 45
Starla Records continue their run of quality releases by delivering two sides of funky excellence on their latest drop from The DT6. Donkey Chop is an uptempo instro that’s all about the wah-wah and the flute while Scotstoun Shuffle employs what, on the evidence of this, are the wildly underused vocal talents of Average White Band Drummer Paul Mills on a nifty little mid-tempo JB style song-about-a-dance-routine effort. They’re not fooling anyone though – I’ve seen the ‘Scotstoun Shuffle’ and it ain’t pretty. Basically you stumble around the dancefloor with a can of McEwan’s in either hand…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

THE QUALITONS – ‘Panoramic Tymes’ LP details + tracklist

THE QUALITONS – ‘Panoramic Tymes’ LP details + tracklist
The content leans a little more to psych rock at times but this mix of sixties modbeat, Hammond funk, and funky/ garagey psychedelia might seem more than a little familiar to fans of the UK’s Big Boss Man. Not that there’s any harm in that you understand since Big Boss Man rule, but you might injure yourself trying to pronounce the names of those tracks which are Magyar. At least, I’m assuming they’re Magyar – the online translating device I found was less than illuminating with ‘word/phrase’ not in dictionary turning up a lot. Maybe they’re slang titles. Or names. Or just not Magyar. Anyway - Hungary’s got (mod) soul. Who knew? Press guff and tracklists for vinyl and download/ cd below links…

DIRTY DUBSTERS feat. BASS NACHO – Big Tings (Mr Benn remix)
Calling your tune Big Tings is a bit like when a pub quiz team calls itself ‘This week’s winners,’ it often goes hand in hand with mediocre performance and… well, frankly it’s a bit cocky isn’t it. Having said that though, if I’d made this tune I’d be very cocky for it is a very big ting indeed. I could tell you that this is a huge bouncing skank of a floor filler,
