BIG M presents: Hanzee – Beats EP (2012)

Hungarian producer Hanzee travels to where ghetto funk meets glitch hop on his Beats EP. There’s a bit of a suggestion that this musical topography was inspired by the real geographical location of India what with a bhangra-heavy slice of glitch-hop entitled India Trip and pounding Nynfus Corporation-featuring opener Bhangi being named for a traditional caste of toilet cleaners (at least, ...READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

BIG M presents: THE BREAKBEAT JUNKIE vs. DJP (2012)

BIG M presents: THE BREAKBEAT JUNKIE vs. DJP (2012)
Funky breaks dream team The Breakbeat Junkie and DJP hook-up again and cook up some new heat for the Big M label – three joint efforts and DJP’s solo banger Say Word. I’m always a sucker for party hip-hop so it’s the latter that takes my fancy the most with its inspired employment of Treacherous Three and solo Spoonie G vocals.

STEREO BEATZ: Get Funky EP (2011)
Big M new boy Stereo Beatz makes his presence felt with this three track EP that covers – er – three bases in the nu/ghetto funk arena – the disco mashup one, the wobbly bass one and the remix one. First up is We Need Some Funky Horns which grafts a bit of twenty-first century bottom end on the ass of an old KC & The Sunshine Band number. The other two tracks are a brace of remixes. Timothy Wisdom (who, it has to be said, sounds like he is a character off legendary seventies kids TV Rentaghost) does the business with SB’s Rockin’ The Party…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
