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. First Panama Cardoon smuggles his mellow vibe from Europe to Asia Minor in Bosporus Thief, then Senor Griff makes it all the way to the Indian subcontinent to ensure there’s more than …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

PALOV meets ANG ANGELIDES: Carnibal Records 006 (2012)

It’s the sixth time Greek label Carnibal Records train has pulled into town and this time there’s a focus on Carnibal artist Palov and his guitarist buddy Ang Angelides. Four tracks deep, it ends with the mellow rural-sounding skank of Waste Of Time but up until that point we’re very much in swing breaks territory – all 20s and 30s wah-wah trumpets and organic-sounding breaks. Why – it’s…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

Moving at breakneck speed with their release schedule, Greek label Carnibal Records drop volume 5 today and it’s the best one in a while. Lest anyone should accuse them of being a one-trick pony, this time they leap the hedges of the Latin breaks enclosure in several different directions at once. Doctor Stereo canters along the road marked Young Einstein breakstrumentals while Palov opts for the bridleway to Cut Chemist style swing-beat instrumental from J5’s Quality Control LP, for example. So…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

The Carnibal cabal step up their activity here delivering Vol. 4 of their latin breaks series (which actually came out at the end of May) before the dust has even settled in the wake of mid-May’s Vol. 3. Time was when I would receive PR for a release a couple of months before it was due to generate ‘buzz.’ Then some marketing bell-end somewhere must’ve realised that ‘buzz’ has a bell-curve and generating it too early results in premature ‘buzz’ and before you know it you’ve effectively shot your publicity load before – er – release date. And the end result? …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

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 002 (2012)
The carnival continues as the Carnibal Records 002 float appears on the horizon. This time around things are ever so slightly more chilled – you know – it’s still a party but they’ve had a rum or two. Thus Palov and Panama Cardoon, Kil Emil and Monetrik all have a gentle shimmy through their latin music collections in a way that calls gently to the hips (which, as you know, never lie) but it’s Daytoner who …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

RATING: 5/5
I may have said this before but I’ve got a playlist on my iTunes called “When this is full enough get Serato.’’ It’s not full yet but this is definitely going to boost the numbers since every track on here is going on it. Why? Because everyone involved on this four-track collection of Latin breaks has produced such a banger this is essentially a miniature digital carnival. Or even carnibal.…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

PALOV feat. LADY FAYE: Troubles (2011)

PALOV feat. LADY FAYE: Troubles (2011)
Probably the best thing I’ve heard off the Cast-A-Blast label this year this is a big slice of soulful late night reggae with a dope rnb style from Lady Faye along the lines of Katalyst and Stephanie Mckay’s bomb track from back in March. The acoustic feel of Palov’s original with gets a heavy dub-fuelled makeover from Jazz K Lipa and is all about the b-line and reverbed horns while Dirty Dubsters apply some jazzy junglist pressha. Also comes accompanied by…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
