KANEFM (103.7FM): Fresh From The Sewer (2013)

KaneFM‘s flagship breaks show Fresh From The Sewer got in touch a couple of weeks ago all stoked because they’d got their hands on an All Good Funk Alliance exclusive mix. At the time, unfortunately, things round here were busier than a one-armed man pitching a tent in a storm so they got passed over. Things have barely changed since then but these guys are long overdue some love. Fresh From The Sewer flushes good shit straight into your earholes every Sunday afternoon …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

DJ ANGELO: Turntablist On Tour mixtape – 2011

DJ ANGELO: Turntablist On Tour mixtape – 2011
DJ Angelo styles along with another classic mixtape. He cuts the music with so much class this is basically a bust in the ass for – er – well pretty much anyone else. Turntablist On Tour finds Angelo skipping across genres like a cat on hot bricks – if genres were bricks and he was a cat – which they aren’t and he isn’t but you get the picture. Also since he’s such a genre slag you’ll find him promiscously and seamlessly scratching and cutting from hip-hop to all that nufunk and ghettofunk shenanigans, taking in baile funk, dnb, dubstep, latin grooves and electro inserting all manner of bizarre soundbites inbetween…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BIG M PRESENTS…Vol. 9 - Various Banging Artists No.3 – 2011

BIG M PRESENTS…Vol. 9 - Various Banging Artists No.3 – 2011
Big M goes bigger and harder than ever this ‘Banging Artists’ drop. Rightly leading with Funkanomics scarily heavy Cypress Hill rerub of Lick A Shot the monstrous ghetto funked-up Licky Shot and then Chris Awesome cooks up a fat one - see what I did there?. Telephunken (clearly not contented with having his own four track EP out on Big M currently) has a bash at reworking Edwyn Starr’s heavy soul…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

ZEDS DEAD: Rudeboy (DJ MONEYSHOT 110 edit) - free download
In which Roy ‘Moneyshot’ Spencer re-imagines Canuck beatheads Zed’s Dead’s Rudeboy as something you can actually dance to. What with the original track being essentially a 70 bpm chunk of wobbly trip-hop a certain amount of speed (velocity not the drug) would seem to be a key ingredient for success. Enter the Moneyshot at 110 bpm (hence the re-edit name) to make things faster and, in conjunction with doing a cheeky messaround with the rhythm section, considerably ruder inna ‘ghettofunk’ stylee. He invites you to…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

DUSTY TONEZ: Steady As She Breaks – 2011

DUSTY TONEZ: Steady As She Breaks – 2011
Dusty Tonez keeps it minimal on Steady As She Breaks navigating this breakbeat banger through dirty guitar chops, a wobbly bassline and electro percussion. Boss of Irish label Bulabeats, JohnnyPluse, is first (remix) mate to Tonez’ commander of the beat and takes the helm with a light touch – if, indeed…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

JOHNNYPLUSE: Dole Dance – 2011

JOHNNYPLUSE: Dole Dance – 2011
Here’s a track guaranteed to be played at the beggarman’s disco as Irish funky breaks merchant Johnnypluse brings the Dole Dance. JP’s original goes for a nice organic, old school, breakbeat instrumental sound with a big snare that wouldn’t have sounded out of place in an early Coldcut set while remixes come courtesy of Hayz and Bside. Hayz gets his squelchy electro on for those who laugh in the face of anything that even faintly resembles an organic sound while Bside does what I’d have done, liberating the piano-based middle eight to become the basis of the track (rather than it’s interlude) and wobbling up the b-line – hey - it’s…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

DJ MONEYSHOT: The Stunt Cock EP – 2010

DJ MONEYSHOT: The Stunt Cock EP – 2011
RATING: 5/5
Think I know who might win the prize for the best name for a release (no pun intended) this year - for here is sometime Parker cohort, Moneyshot with his Stunt Cock EP. Something tells me that with a ‘vinegar stroke’–related nom de guerrre like his, he wasn’t envisaging a daredevil rooster when he came (no pun intended) up with that title. All that shenanigans aside, what Moneyshot delivers here is a three track gem showcasing his canny knack for…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

BASEMENT FREAKS: Something Freaky – Radio Edit – Free download

BASEMENT FREAKS: Something Freaky – Radio Edit – Free download
Just in case you didn’t know that Basement Freaks’ debut LP was out at the end of this month here’s a free reminder from Mr Basement Freaks (that’ll be ‘Big’ George Fotiadis) himself in the shape of this free download of the radio edit of the album’s title track and recent single. Fotiadis has been promoting his own brand of nufunk/ghettofunk for the last few years and, with the establishment of his label, Bombastic Jam, quite a large number of other people’s brands too. For those who haven’t kept up with the times this means you’ll be hearing a melting pot of funk, hip-hop, disco and breakbeat with, especially recently, the rise of the wobbly bassline. It’s all about the dancefloor see? Cop that bump after the jump innit!…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

Absolutely no prizes for working out the constituent parts - if you don’t know you must have a soul deficit.

Nu/ ghetto-funkers Funkanomics offer up a dirty breakbeat stocking filler for you in the shape of this Apes From Uptownrefix. They’ve been around for a few years now and responsible for some big old bombs out of the Manmade Recordings stable including their big Stevie Wonder-hijacking Superstation off the recent Gold Edition EP.

AQUASKY feat. THE RAGGA TWINS: Living Legends/Raggatron – 2010

AQUASKY feat. THE RAGGA TWINS: Living Legends/Raggatron – 2010
Christ! I got knackered just listening to this. Normally, long-serving breakbeat terrorists Aquasky would be too ‘core to feature on monkeyboxing and – er- they still are. On Living Legends they supply an approximately 135 bpm breakbeat and a loop that sounds suspiciously like it came from the Blues Brothers soundtrack then race ‘do-what-it-says-on-their-tin’ vocalists The Ragga Twins to the finish. If that doesn’t finish you off…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM

DANCEFLOOR OUTLAWS: Panda Style video + Dancefloor Outlaws EP – 2010

DANCEFLOOR OUTLAWS: Panda Style video + Disco Cakes Vol. 1 EP – 2010
This was actually in the inbox last week but got overlooked. You wouldn’t think it would be possible to overlook a video featuring an uprocking panda but that’s because you don’t live at Monkeyboxing Towers. I won’t go into exactly how weird living here must be for an uprocking panda to go unnoticed because the king of the potato people just told me everyone would think Iwas weird one. I don’t know if Dancefloor Outlaws are weird or not but they’ve certainly rustled up some nu-funk/ ghettofunk craziness in the form of Disco Cakes: Vol. 1 on the spanking new Disco Cakes imprint. Anyway - listen below and see Pandas doing pretty much anything except eating bamboo and refusing to mate below that – though it has to be said – I’m not sure they’re all real pandas…Gotta dash – everything just…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM
