BOCA 45: ‘Pitch Sounds’ LP now on digital (2011)

BOCA 45: ‘Pitch Sounds’ LP now on digital (2011)
Boca, boca, boca! It’s the digital release of Bristolian producer Boca 45’s debut LP Pitch Sounds originally released on vinyl and cd back in 2004 on which he made good on his claim to try and make beats, “how they might sound if they were recorded in 1968 in massive studios with real musicians.” Basically it’s a…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BOCA 45: Lafayette Partytime (2011)

BOCA 45: Lafayette Partytime (2011)
Lafayette Partytime’ll be the seven inch (that’s a vinyl record kids, I’m not being rude) re-release from Bristolian beatmaker Boca 45 to mark the imminent digital re-release of his Pitch Sounds LP. Boca 45 a.k.a. Scott Hendy is responsible for the monkey’s favourite ever funk, soul, hip-hop club night, ‘Diggin In The Crates’ at Bristol’s tiny, underground (literally) Dojo Lounge. To fully get the picture of a Saturday night at the Dojo back in the day imagine trying to dance to Pharoahe Monch and Patti Drew in somewhere the size of an underlit public phone box that’s lined with red leather and drug dealers in the middle of a record breaking attempt to cram as many pissed people into said phone box. Or you could just try listening to this. Soul-sampling b-boy party breaks on both sides.
(Out 2 December on Freesoul 45)
(PRESS RELEASE)
Don't say Boca's back; he's never been away. Scott 'Boca 45' Hendy is the Bristol beatsmith who's been at the forefront of funky breakbeat music for well over a decade. With two solo artist albums in the bag, dancefloor devastating collabos with DJ Andy Smith as Dynamo Productions, and the brand new Beekeepers project with rising star Parker, now has never been a better time to catch Boca 45 fever.
To celebrate the digital re-release of Boca's first album Pitch Sounds we gonna release a 7" with Lafayette Partytime and Steady Rockin' for your turntable pleasures.

THE BEEKEEPERS: Queen Bee – Single (2011)

THE BEEKEEPERS: Queen Bee – Single (2011)
Queen Bee is the latest single off the recently released Beekeepers LP Apiculture and a bit of a banger. Musically coming off like a collision of The Freestylers and The Heavy, it finds rapper Mystro exploring the growing distance between him and the missus (“Oh I should have put a ring on it?/ Well, you’re lucky if I even put a fake bit of bling on it”) and one of the album’s highlights. I was going to continue the monkeyboxing embargo on bee-related gags (not because I’m above such cheap journalistic tactics

THE BEEKEEPERS: ‘Apiculture’ preview + audio snippets - 2011
RATING: 5/5
Bristol beat luminaries Boca 45 and Parker finally make good on their promise to deliver a full length album, Apiculture, in the wake of this year’s moody Ascending Change EP and their debut party-banger effort the Bee Funk EP from the end of the year before. As you might expect the LP is packed to the gills with offerings of both kinds (i.e. moodiness and party-bangers) …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
