BASEMENT FREAKS: Got That Funky Stuff (Tribute to Kool & The Gang) (2014) Free download

…annndd the second of tonight’s free superfunk delicacies is this little nugget from Basement Freaks – Got That Funky Stuff. It’s their tribute to Kool & The Gang, a band who started their career in 1964 with the unpromising name of the Jazziacs, delivered dodgy pop ballads in the eighties like Cherish and apparently continue to make music in the new millenium in the form of electro pop. Luckily they spent the seventies make filthy funk …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SKEEWIFF: Skeewiff in Brazil (2014)

It seems someone’s been wiggling down the Copacabana in a tanga thong gathering inspiration for Skeewiff In Brazil. Skeewiff in Brazil? Oh what – bossa breakin? Samba stylin? A bit of drum n Bebel? Some ghetto Gilberto? Yep – that sort of thing. That and more in fact. No actual appearances from Astrid Gilberto (or Bebel come to that) at least not that I’m aware – but lots of dreamy female Brazilian vocals wafting in and out …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JIGGYJOE: Shake It EP (2014)

JiggyJoe reprises the sort of ‘ghetto latin’ that formed the backbone of Skeewiff‘s rather good Ghetto Latin & Broken Ballroom LP from the autumn with co-production from – well – Mr Skeewiff himself. And what do you know – it’s a sound that continues to please. Ursula 1000 then goes in on a remix tip inna 80s Bronx electro stylee which has the bizarre effect of making Claire G Phunk‘s vocal sound a bit 90s rnb. Which sounds …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FUNK EFEMDZEMOV: Super Munchies EP (2014)

He’s barely been away but Funk Efemdzemov is back once more bounding through the swing doors of the ‘breaks kitchen’ to serve up three party breaks snacks for his Super Munchies EP. A certain Afrika Bambaataa ‘pella is cheekily borrowed once more to provide vocal assistance on the opener and The Average White Band’s Put It Where You Want …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SKEEWIFF: Greatest Wiffs (2013)

I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed when I found out that Skeewiff‘s Greatest Wiffs wasn’t actually documenting one and a half decades of flatulence at Skee Mansions. It was a disappointment rapidly mitigated however by the discovery that what Greatest Wiffs was actually documenting was one and a half decades of their best party breaks remixes and covers. And you’d expect nothing else from an outfit that pretty much launched their career under the moniker Shaft with a pre-Skeewiff remix (a ‘pre-wiff’, if you will) of Luis Demetrio’s ’53 mambo Sway a.k.a. Quien Sera. The titanic success of this badboy (UK number 2 in ’99) enabled Alex Rizzo and Elliot Ireland to set up Jalapeno Records (and subsequently their Pedigree Cuts …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SKEEWIFF & EDDIE RUSS: Flute Toon (The Lope Song) (2013) Free download

It’s always nice to host a premiere! And so it is that MB rolls out the red carpet as first place on the planet to bring you this: the mighty Skeewiff‘s re-wiff of Eddie Russ’s 1974 Blue Note-style jazz-funk number The Lope Song. He’s re-titled it Flute Toon in recognition of the original’s prominent funky flute motif and given it a massive party breaks kick up the arse (not to mention the odd bleepy adornment) so that it can hold its own among …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FORT KNOX FIVE: 10 Years Of Fort Knox Five Remixed (2013) + ‘We Love To Bring Back The Funk’ free download

How’s this for a plan: you get fifteen of the finest bass n breaks producers to remix fifteen of your finest tracks from ten years of adventures in the world of party breaks production and assemble them in ascending order of bpm? This, ladies and gentlemen, is precisely what the mighty Fort Knox Five have lined up for release in ten days time on their own (what else?) Fort Knox Recordings label. But into whose sweaty palms did FK5 deliver their original material? The lineup is BIG and includes the likes of the following: A Skillz & Krafty Kuts (once together and a solo joint from each!), Badboe, …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
