HAMMOND CLASSICS: Gartagena (2013)

With a name like Hammond Classics you could be forgiven for expecting some sort of organ grooving KPM Allstars type outfit. Except that Hammond Classics is one man and the last couple of times I’ve caught him he’s veered between seventies style reggae and a skanking dancehall bootleg. It’s only natural then that this one is all about the latin breaks – cumbia-based ones to be specific. While Ritmo De Las Muertes and Sol Y Luna are gentle…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 008 (2013)

Carnibal Records have, within seven releases, established a reputation for top quality latin breaks with the occasional bit of something else thrown in for good measure. Carnibal 008 eschews the sound of South America however, and takes as many continents in a single release as the plot of World War Z.

Not ones to lie idle while all and sundry are knocking out bass-filled reggae booty, Dirty Dubsters fire up the engines at Dirty Dubster Digital again for Ragga Party Jams Vol. 8. What do you fancy?

Stoned eh? …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 007 (2013)

Latin breakbeat freaks Carnibal Records are back with their seventh release and in the way of such things it is entitled Carnibal Records 007. Which, in the way of such things of course, immediately makes me think of James Bond causing havoc at some sort of fiesta. Thus it is that Palov & Panama Cardoon and Senor Griff all prove themselves capable agents in the field with Vamos…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 003 (2012)

The latin breaks party continues apace with Hammond Classics, Palov, Mr Bird and, of course, Panama Cardoon. A subtler affair than it’s predecessors, and largely mid-tempo there’s still plenty of upright bass, latin piano and shuffling breakbeat rhythms to swing those hips to which the ladies love…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
