WILLY MOON – Yeah Yeah (K. Sabroso B-boy mix) (2012) Free download

I was only watching the video of Willy Moon’s Yeah Yeah on the idiot lantern last night and two things occurred to me: a) what a fucking silly name and b) actually, could that – maybe – with a big fat breakbeat on it…work? Anyway, while I was still mulling that over as a proposition in my head, b-boy and producer K. Sabroso was already on the job. This is the upshot – and it does everything an ...READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

PUSHIN WOOD SOUNDSYSTEM: Through The Needle’s Eye/ Get Lost + comic book (2012)

Pushin Wood Soundsystem? Must be the month for double entendres. Mind you, every month is the month for double entendres here at MB Towers – it just never gets boring. Anyway the Through The Needle’s Eye/Get Lost seven inch (there we go again) is what happens when you ask Dutch pro-skater Wouter Winter to knock out (and again) a comic which you’re going to release on your record label (yes, you read that right) and then you decide ...READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

MASH & MUNKEE: Superbad 7″ (2011)

MASH & MUNKEE: Superbad (2011)
With a name like that it was never going to be acoustic folk was it? Mind you with a name like that they’d better have captured the spirit of James Brown lest they forever be regarded as supershit. Fear not then, for German b-boy breaks merchants Mash & Munkee continue to ensure that nothing but quality leaves the funk factory as A-side Superbad bursts out of the speakers in time-honoured-chase-theme-horns-and-wah-wah fashion and proceeds to leave a trail of sparks through the city streets of San Francisco circa 1972…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

RENEGADES OF JAZZ: Hip To The Jive (2011)
Here he is look – the only man to have done anything original (and good) with jazz and breakbeats since A Tribe Called Quest pretty much. That’ll be Renegades Of Jazz then – a.k.a. David Hanke – a jazz renegade if ever there was one. Put aside your notions of shitty old acid jazz and pretentious chin-stroky tossers – this isn’t anything like that kind of pretentious noodle wank …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

DJ MOAR: Cumbia’s Beat / B-Batucada (2011)

DJ MOAR: Cumbia’s Beat / B-Batucada (2011)
More from Parisian funky breaks afficionado DJ Moar in the shape of this sweet little mid-tempo, latin b-boy breaks gem out (correctly) on seven inch at the start of next month. As the title might lead you to believe, this makes full use of some dusty old Cumbia track and some funky breaks that – as luck would have it – Moar just happened to have lying around. With the bonus latin beats of B-Batacuda on the flip, Cumbia’s Beat is definitely…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
