STICKYBUDS & FEATURECAST: 3-6-9 (2014) Free download

Two of ghetto funk’s mightiest, Stickybuds & Featurecast, team up for one of the genre’s funkiest in some time for 3-6-9. Apparently it was just a little something the pair knocked round at Featurecast’s place when Stickybuds was stopping over for a few days. Buzzsaw synths vie with funk and hip-hop samples throughout – not to mention a bit of eighties pop sax on the outro. Oh and let’s…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FORT KNOX FIVE: 10 Years Of Fort Knox Five Remixed (2013) + ‘We Love To Bring Back The Funk’ free download

How’s this for a plan: you get fifteen of the finest bass n breaks producers to remix fifteen of your finest tracks from ten years of adventures in the world of party breaks production and assemble them in ascending order of bpm? This, ladies and gentlemen, is precisely what the mighty Fort Knox Five have lined up for release in ten days time on their own (what else?) Fort Knox Recordings label. But into whose sweaty palms did FK5 deliver their original material? The lineup is BIG and includes the likes of the following: A Skillz & Krafty Kuts (once together and a solo joint from each!), Badboe, …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FEATURECAST: ‘Run For Cover’ Remixed Vol. 2 (2013)

Brace yourself for a forthcoming second remix EP for tracks off Featurecast‘s game-changing autumn LP Run For Cover that those on production duties are hoping will have you running for the dancefloor. The opening salvo comes from JPOD in the form of a dirty great synth bass assault on Greg Blackman vehicle Soul Children, followed swiftly thereafter by thunderous ghetto funk bombardment from B-Side‘s remix of Jump. CMC & Silenta then launch a funky flanking …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FEATURECAST: Run For Cover (2012)

Featurecast finally delivers a full-length album – Run For Cover and it’s a bit of a game changer for the genre known as ‘ghetto funk.’ Now, you might have reservations about a term which has been appropriated by a scene producing a frequently bass wobble-obsessed, latterday descendant of nineties big beat which also has the hots for funk, disco and hip-hop and isn’t averse to getting into bed with reggae, drum n bass, dubstep or the ridiculously named moombahton. You might take issue with the fact that most of it is largely made outside of any actual – well – ghetto, for example. Or that...READ THE REST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FEATURECAST featuring FARINA MISS: Ego Tripping + Public Enemy ‘Harder Than You Think’ free download (2012)

The latest from one of ghetto funk’s greatest, Featurecast (in the run-up to the drop of his forthcoming LP Run For Cover) is the sultry Ego Tripping featuring Farina Miss. Apparently, Mr Cast doesn’t just do club bangers but is somewhat more than a fair hand at producing fuck-music too – who knew? If it’s club bangers you want though you’ll find the remixes supply them amply…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FEATURECAST: Around The Block EP (2012)

FEATURECAST: Around The Block EP (2012)
Featurecast’s latest is the Around The Block EP. Around the block? Oh what – like some sort of breaks ‘bike’? Spreading his beats as widely as he can? Offering it up any way he likes whether you want it or not? Do you want some? Well do you? Don’t make the mistake of thinking Featurecast is some sort of ghetto funk slag though – he doesn’t give it out for free – at least not this time. You’ll have to fumble furtively in your wallet out for this four-tracker although if…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FEATURECAST: Ghetto Funk presents Featurecast EP (2011)

FEATURECAST: Ghetto Funk presents Featurecast EP (2011)
RATING: 5/5
Nowadays I normally wouldn’t bother bigging up a Ghetto Funk label release as it’s difficult to blow your trumpet louder than they blow their own. For starters, there’s the whole name thing. ‘Ghetto funk’ was their idea and it wasn’t the first applied to the artists working in the genre but now it’s the most widely used. Then there’s the fact that in the space of a year, they’ve acquired most of the major players in the genre as part of their ‘crew.’ There’s also the fact that
