ASHER D & DADDY FREDDY: Raggamuffin Hip-hop (Remixes) (2013)

Back in the day, the Music Of Life label released some seminal UK hip-hop. Fast forward to the present and the brand new Stay On Target label has acquired the rights to remix and release some of these lost classics. And here’s there opening salvo – the remixes of Asher D (no, not that one) and Daddy Freddy’s Raggamuffin Hip-hop which first dropped in 1988. And you thought hip-hop/ reggae hybrids were a relatively recent innovation…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAMMY SENIOR feat. RAYNA: Don’t Touch My Heart (The Remixes) (2013)

Don’t Touch My Heart? Fat chance of anything not being ‘touched’ when it comes to remixing a release. And the time when Sammy Senior‘s excellent MC Rayna-featuring ghetto funked-up, swing-hop banger from February got passed around the grubby mitts of B-Side, DeFunk, DELimentary, and the Mustbeat Crew was no exception. It got a thorough groping. Check the results below – expect four different adventures…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BROWNOUT: Grant Phabao & Renegades Of Jazz Remixes (2013)

In the crazy world of electrical terminology a ‘brownout’ is a drop in voltage. Which is ironic since these remixes of Texan latin-funk outfit Brownout create something of a musical power surge. ParisDJs in-house producer Grant Phabao is up first and plugs his whole his updated Studio One/ King Tubby ting into I Won’t Lie to nice up the wide-open spaces steel guitar vibe of the original in a soulful reggae stylee. If you fancy something a …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BLEND MISHKIN feat. MC JAMALSKI: We Are Roots (Remixes) (2013)

Clearly a case of ‘Oh shit – that was good enough to make a bit of money with – what were we thinking with the free download?’ Blend Mishkin‘s hip-hop riddim-powered reggae number featuring MC Jamalski, We Are Roots, now gets the full four-track remix treatment package. And guess what? It’s not just the original that was good enough to make a bit of money with. The ‘exclusive…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

THE ICONS Vol. 3: Ghetto Funk Remixes (2012) Free download from 22 Dec. '12

It’s the Ghetto Funk label’s third annual Icons outing here with The Icons: Vol. 3 as they let a platoon of producers loose on several decades of musical heritage each to rework the – er – work of an icon in their own inimitable ghetto funk style. Well, I say ‘ghetto funk’ style – the more nebulous ‘bass music’ moniker would be nearer the mark – but more about that in a sec. Perhaps the most obvious difference this time around is the number of cuts – a staggering 35! That’s nearly twice the output of the previous volume and nearly three times the output of the first! But is it a case of a triumph of quantity over quality? Well, first to raise an issue was my laptop’s keyboard …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

LACK OF AFRO: ‘One Way – Remixes & Rarities’ sampler (2012)

LACK OF AFRO: ‘One Way – Remixes & Rarities’ sampler (2012)
One way – Remixes & Rarities – Sampler is the five track taster for the full One way – Remixes & Rarities LP out at the end of next month. With it Lack Of Afro flies in the face of music tradition whereby instead of releasing the shitsack of filler which constitutes most artists’ idea of ‘remixes and rarities’ as they ‘fulfil contractural obligations’, he drops some of the best stuff I’ve ever heard off him. Rapper Herbal T (twin bro to Def Jam signing Wax) is back on On My Way for…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
