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 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

QUASAMODO: Bollywood Man EP feat. MC Coppa – 2010 – EP review

QUASAMODO: Bollywood Man EP feat. MC Coppa – 2010 – EP review
RATING: 5/5
The funky breaks scene has been getting so cheesy recently you could serve it up on crackers at the end of a dinner party - so it’s Quasamodo and MC Coppa to the rescue with a little help from Basement Freaks new label Bombastic Jam with the Bollywood Man EP. Despite Coppa’s claiming “I’m a Bollywood man with Bollywood plans/ Got Bollywood fans who do the weird dancing with their hands” the EP, perhaps unexpectedly, is not a cue for loads of bhangra-fuelled antics but an excuse to offload the biggest funky breaks banger so far this year. The wah-wah toting original mix would take the gold medal were it not topped by the Basement Freaks remix horns-fest which doesn’t so much strike you as a good track as prance around shouting “Get me - I’m the shit!’ With considerable justification. Yep it’s yet another full marks - looks like this spring is better than last for beats and rhymes. I know how my next set’s going to finish.
