PULPFUSION: Wrong World Remixed Vol. 2 (2012)

News of Pulpfusion’s Wrong World Remixed Vol 2 arrived at just the wrong time two weeks ago dropping on to monkey’s virtual doormat hours before the annual monkey summer holiday. Still, to redress matters here we are now in a brief examination of what happened when the Swiss beat assassin bravely handed over the keys of his Wrong World LP for the second time this year to a …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CMC & SILENTA: Roca Records presents Feature Breaks Vol. 2 (2011)

CMC & SILENTA: Roca Records presents Feature Breaks Vol. 2 (2011)
Second release in CMC & Silenta’s Feature Breaks series on their Roca imprint and they’ve opened up their back catalogue for remixing. It has to be said that this could be tantamount to handing a nutter some garden shears and getting your wedding tackle out, depending on who you’ve got on remix duties. Never fear though, half the ghetto funk universe were already …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

PROSPER & RORY HOY: Get Dat Boogie Chase EP (2011)

PROSPER & RORY HOY: Get Dat Boogie Chase EP (2011)
I think this might just be my favourite Big M release since Vol 8 of Big M Productions (the one with Breakbeat Junkie & DJPs massive Drop Down on it) came out. In a large part, it has to be said, this is because of the cumbia stylings of Todo Es Nuevo for, as any MB regulars will know, the monkey’s all over a big latin breaks effort. …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BBP: The Freak Hop EP (2011)

BBP: The Freak Hop EP (2011)
It says here that the ‘freak hop’ concept was invented by long time Badboe cohort Prosper. ‘Freak hop’, in case you were wondering, seems to be like a mash-up for those with terminal ADHD since it involves combining not two or even three previously recorded tracks but as many as can possibly be crammed into between 4 to six minutes. Didn’t that used to be called a…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

PROSPER & BADBOE: Blow Matata EP – 2011

PROSPER & BADBOE: Blow Matata EP – 2011
Franco-Danish production dream team Prosper and Badboe return with more funky breaks goodness, here taking the form of the Blow Matata EP. Their manifesto is laid plain in the old-school vocal samples of the title track (“We gonna blow, blow, blow your speakers”) eschewing the (these days) almost inevitable…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

MANMADE RECORDS: Gold Edition - 2010

MANMADE RECORDS: Gold Edition - 2010
Old funk, nufunk, ghettofunk, blue funk – Dr Seuss would have a field day as we live through the most amusing genre-name wars since the old trip-hop vs. blunted beats conflict of the mid-nineties. All that aside, Manmade celebrate their tenth release with some 24 carat action in the form of a double vinyl EP – you know that’ll be cut loud …READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

SUNSETSOUL: SunsetSplit EP – 2009 – review

SUNSETSOUL: SunsetSplit EP – 2009 – review
RATING: 5/5
Typical. You start to despair of a lack of decent funky tunes and then loads come along at once. Here, Leipzig’s Sunset label continue a near flawless run of releases with the SunsetSplit EP, a four-tracker of ridiculous mash-ups. Funktomas splices Fontella Bass’s Motown classic Rescue Me together with the vocal remix of The Gravediggaz’ 1-800 Suicide boosting the bpms…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM
