TRU FUNK: Party Breaks: Essential Selection (2013)

In today’s internet-era, the public’s appetite for interesting ‘stuff’ is voracious and their memory of said ‘stuff’ so short that they’ve practically forgotten whatever it was they gawping/ listening/ mooing at in the second it took them to ‘swim’ from one side of the digital fishbowl to the other. Plus the amount of ‘stuff’ out there keeps increasing exponentially. In this environment, any record company that fails to market effectively is a soon-to-be-defunct record company and marketing in today’s – er – market effectively means putting …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

TRU FUNK: Nu Party Breaks Vol. 8 (2013)

It’s like some sort of party breaks/ ghetto funk release free for all at the minute with drops imminent from Ghetto Funk and BBP and Scour Records having just given birth to its third ‘baby.’ Who haven’t we mentioned? Ah yes – Tru:Funk and here they are with Nu Party Breaks Vol. 8 – a seven-tracker that leaves the wobble at home and amps up the funk. Chudy kicks off by tapping what sounds very much like nineties house,…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHUDY: Let’s Groove On (2013)

Tutti frutti oh Chudy – it’s long past time for the monkey to get a groove on with Let’s Get A Groove On but unfortunately Chudy’s debut LP arrived in the inbox just as the annual MB summer surf trip to France was getting underway. Which is was sheer bad luck as this is a highly serviceable sixteen tracker (sixteen!) of funky breaks with primetime dancefloor material written all over it. The Polish producer has made something of a name …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FUNKOSOL RECORDS: Boar Stuff EP (2013)

The latest (and arguably best) drop yet from the Funkosol stable is Boar Stuff . And, while nothing whatsoever to do with wild hogs, it nevertheless assembles a clutch of artists who’ve been rooting around successfully around in a forest of samples. Witzky‘s unearthed Albert Hammond’s AOR strum I’m A Train for example, and given it a ghetto funk going-over. SonicFUNK has snuffled up a number of treats for ghetto funk instro tribute to hip-hop, That’s Hip-Hop, and party breaks number Do Your …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FUNKOSOL: Fresh Beats Vol. 2 (2013)

It’s whole lotta bumps time from Chudy‘s Funkosol label already as Fresh Beats Vol. 2 delivers a slew of ghetto funky edits and mash-ups from one of the scene’s newest labels. The Man From DelMonty says ‘yes’ to a Ghetto Funk Icons-style edit of The Spin Doctors’ Two Princes, Robinson Grooves moves your feet with the sort of bass-heavy rework of early nineties style house-y soul that has been a feature of 2013 and Azzar‘s Discogirls is hammering disco boogie camper than a …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

WARSON & CHUDY: Funky Boar Strikes Again (2013)

Not had enough refried funk yet eh? You’ll be wanting to check out the two distinct flavours you get on Funky Boar Strikes Again then, courtesy of the latest wing of the Polish funk/ breaks mafia a.k.a. Funkosol Records‘ Warson and Chudy. First up is Warson who reboots Israeli 70s throwbacks Funk N Stein and their Ohio Players style number That’s Love for the nufunk/ ghetto…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FUNKOSOL: Combination Of Styles EP (2013)

Fresh Beats Vol. 1 has only been out of the bag less than a month and Chudy‘s new label Funkosol is already dropping the Combination Of Styles EP. And if you think that’s a high turnaround, it features Morlack who’s back like that with his third release this month! He’s accompanied by Jayl Funk, Warson and Azzar and, while that might be a combination of artists, the style here is resolutely heavy party breaks with an eighties/ nineties-sampling vibe – a scene niche that Chudy seems to be fast claiming as his (and Funkosol’s) signature. It is true that Ghostface and Ne-Yo’s…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CHUDY: See You On The Floor (2013)

The latest from the Tru:Funk label is this drop See You On The Floor . from Tru:Funk crew member Chudy. On it he neatly sidesteps the breaks/ ghetto funk cheese trap which is no mean feat given that he delivers four super disco breakin numbers with an eighties and even nineties (Keep The Beat for example) flavour at times. His four tracks come in the company of five remixes from…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

DJ AXE vs. STEREO BEATZ: Funk N’ Breaks (BigMD038) (2012)

BigM regular Stereo Beatz has brought along his mate DJ Axe this time for Funk N’ Breaks or more accurately ‘ghetto funk n breaks’. Not that I’m complaining you understand – as the synths on this rock a funky ice cream van vibe that I haven’t heard since Jake Slazenger brought out Supaphunk about fifteen years ago. Slazenger’s was more of an armchair anthem though whereas the big breaks…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
