ZENIT INCOMPATIBLE: Anywhere EP (2014)

Whatever MustBeat’s Zenit Incompatible is incompatible with, it’s not soothing downtempo grooves as he funnels the essence of the chilled, post-club, early hours vibe of Euro party city, Budapest into four tracker the Anywhere EP. Head to the middle two tracks for the best of these as he chops up smokey jazz over lazy breaks and cuts up …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

J-SOUND: Super Nature (the remixes) (2013)

“Super nature the remixes god-damn!” Hmm – somehow that doesn’t sit quite as well with the beat as the simpler “Super nature god-damn” which J-Sound culled from the the Beasties’ Triple Trouble back in the summer for his Super Nature drop. Just as well, the two remix heads involved here (Badboe and Trotter) just messed around with the beat. Badboe fills in the sonic gaps in the …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

THE WORLDSTYLERS: Kosher Beat (2013)

With a title like Kosher Beat – there was clear potential for The Worldstylers (Savages Y Suefo in their more energetic funky breaks disguise) to pack this EP with Only Fools And Horses vocal samples. Despite inexplicably passing over such an opportunity, the boys from Budapest still supply the real dope in the form of the sort of funky breaks The Wiseguys might have made if they’d had a …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

J-SOUND: Super Nature/ Fully Funked (2013)

Nice little two track release on Mustbeat here as J-Sound feels the funk on his first drop for the Hungarian label. First up is Super Nature whereon the Cardiff-based producer righteously plunders a couple of verse lyrics from the Beasties Triple Trouble to formulate a hook for a nu-ghetto-breaks bleepfest. Then he jumps on the mic himself to …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

ZENIT INCOMPATIBLE: Lovely Breaks EP (2013)

Lovely breaks eh? A weekend for two in Prague. Three days in Amsterdam with the boys. Or girls. Easter at the…what? Not those sort of breaks? What kind of breaks the-…oh. Right. Zenit Incompatible. What’s he not compatible with then? Presumably not the dancefloor as this EP would suggest he’s got that wired with a heady mixture of pounding breaks and manipulated sixties rnb/ soul divas. Never Gonna Give You Up (no, not …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
