JOHNNYPLUSE: Songs That Will Change Your Life EP (2013) Free download

Irish breakbeat kingpin Johnnypluse comes through with a two-track freebie EP for the end of the year cheekily entitled Songs That Will Change Your Life no less. The first of these’ll be the crashing breaks and moody 90s rave-ish synths of LP dnb cut Don’t Stand For It (End Of Night Edit) now reworked at 106 bpm. The second, The Weapon Part 2 , is the kind of entity that used, …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE: Ur Not Hip-hop (2013)

The rave-wing of Irish breakbeat is alive and well it seems. Yes, it’s Johnnypluse with his latest four tracker Ur Not Hip-Hop. Opener Close Your Eyes takes a while to get going but at over six minutes, it’s not like it’s in any hurry. But hang on: no rapping, no scratching and two massive interpolations of Bastille’s Pompeii? Close Your Eyes – you’re not hip-hop! Even if you do reference the Apache break. Next up is the self-referentially-titled…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE: Play Something We Know (2013)

Hey JohnnyPluse – play something we know. Not actually a request (or, more likely, a beer-fuelled heckle) Play Something We Know is, in fact, the title of this fourteen-track JohnnyPluse retrospective celebrating his five albums and twenty three EPs. Five albums?! Twenty Three EPs?! Christ! JP is like the breakbeat Rolling Stones or something. Minus the supermodels, and annual blood transfusions in Sweden obviously. And just like Jagger, he likes to dip his musical Mars bar into …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE feat. MC COPPA: Get Old One Day (2013) Free download

Bulabeats big cheese JohnnyPluse drops the remix album of his Book Of Lies long player from earlier this year next month. By way of promotion, he’s put out a free download of the MC Coppa-featuring Get Old One Day which lyrically amounts to pretty much a list of stuff to do before you get old. Swim with dolphins in Tahiti? Surf psychedelic barrels at dawn in Bali? Have group sex with a troupe of Brazilian mardi gras dancers? Actually no. “Drop your tag…just get mad…have a good time……READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE: The Book Of Lies (2013) + ‘Episode’ video

The Book Of Lies eh? Some new government manifesto perhaps? The end of year accounts from corporation tax dodgers (and Tory donors) Lycamobile? RBS’s report to shareholders about its role in the Libor scandal? How about the new album from lynchpin of the sound of the Irish breakbeat underground a.k.a. Bulabeats label boss Johnnypluse? It’s the latter of course – since, naturally, the others will be paragons of transparency and honesty. A brief nine tracks long, the album explores JP’s …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE feat. MC COPPA: Never Get Old (2012)

Never Get Old is the second single off Johnnypluse’s forthcoming LP and finds him laying down a bedrock of fat breaks over which he juxtaposes what sounds like a gathering swarm of bees with a sweet piano hook while the ever-reliable MC Coppa ponders the shit life throws at you and delivers life-affirming couplets. Remixes come in the shape of the dark and bleepy …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE feat. BASS NACHO: Back To The Future (2012)

New from Johnnypluse is Back To The Future. Basically a vehicle for Bass Nacho it sees the Floridian doing some of that there speed-toasting business over minimal skankin breaks and bass abrasive enough to get rid of all your rough edges with proper singing on a chorus all full of island sunshine horns. You get…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE: This Will Twist Your Head (2011) Free download
‘Tis the season of giving and here’s JohnnyPluse, boss of Irish label Bulabeats, coming over all Santa-fied here with free fourteen-track LP. If you’re the sort of person who doesn’t have enough breakbeat remixes in your life this’ll twist your head and probably your melons too. JP’s basically remixed his way through the punk and post-punk seventies (Blondie, The Clash and The Jam), the overblown and self-indulgent eighties…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

Not quite the East End gang brawl it sounds like, Johnny Pluse nevertheless brings along enough remixers for this digital re-release of 2009’s The Market Street Cut Up to almost make it worth starting a ruck. There are eleven mixes available from…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
