DJ ROAST BEATZ: Panama Ho’s (2013) Free download

Rating: ★★★★★ I’m all for sisters not being held back by gender inequality but have you ever noticed how when DJs play tracks containing iffy lyrics like ‘shorty get on it’ and ‘she’s leaking, she’s soaking wet’ that the ladies, far from storming off the dancefloor in a fit of pique, get more filthy? It’s something that is almost certain to happen with this mashup bomb from DJ Roast Beatz

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 007 (2013)

Latin breakbeat freaks Carnibal Records are back with their seventh release and in the way of such things it is entitled Carnibal Records 007. Which, in the way of such things of course, immediately makes me think of James Bond causing havoc at some sort of fiesta. Thus it is that Palov & Panama Cardoon and Senor Griff all prove themselves capable agents in the field with Vamos

PANAMA CARDOON: Now That I Found You (2013) Free download

“It’s not bassy enough and the beat’s a bit weak.” Not the usual complaint levelled at Jamaican reggae, even old school stuff but that hasn’t stopped Athenian producer and Carnibal Records main man Panama Cardoon adding big drums and giving the bottom end more boom on his Now That I’ve Found You re-version. Some may feel that this is gilding the lily but as a wise man once said to

Rating: ★★★★★
Moving at breakneck speed with their release schedule, Greek label Carnibal Records drop volume 5 today and it’s the best one in a while. Lest anyone should accuse them of being a one-trick pony, this time they leap the hedges of the Latin breaks enclosure in several different directions at once. Doctor Stereo canters along the road

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 004 (2012)

The Carnibal cabal step up their activity here delivering Vol. 4 of their latin breaks series (which actually came out at the end of May) before the dust has even settled in the wake of mid-May’s Vol. 3. Time was when I would receive PR for a release a couple of months before it was due to generate ‘buzz.’ Then some marketing bell-end somewhere must’ve realised that ‘buzz’ has a

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 003 (2012)

The latin breaks party continues apace with Hammond Classics, Palov, Mr Bird and, of course, Panama Cardoon. A subtler affair than it’s predecessors, and largely mid-tempo there’s still plenty of upright bass, latin piano and shuffling breakbeat rhythms to swing those hips to which the ladies love – as all concerned are well aware. Caribe opts for a sweaty cumbia groove

RESENSE 028: Panama Cardoon ‘Feelin Roll’/ Sono Rhizmo ‘Do Your Stuff’ (2012)

Rating: ★★★★★
Damn! This is the best Resense 45 since the last one featuring Panama Cardoon. On it Cardoon’s feeling ‘roll’ which you can take to mean pretty smug with himself once again as he blends Mr Scruff and Wayne Marshall for a guaranteed hands-in-the-air, boom-bap bounce drenched in organ riffs and island vibes. But hang on – has Sono Rhizmo

VARIOUS: Carnibal Records 002 (2012)

The carnival continues as the Carnibal Records 002 float appears on the horizon. This time around things are ever so slightly more chilled – you know – it’s still a party but they’ve had a rum or two. Thus Palov and Panama Cardoon, Kill Emil and Monetrik all have a gentle shimmy through their latin music collections in a way that calls gently to the hips – which, as you know, never lie. However, it’s Daytoner who showboats around like the carnival

I may have said this before but I’ve got a playlist on my iTunes called “When this is full enough get Serato.’’ It’s not full yet but this is definitely going to boost the numbers since every track on here is going on it. Why? Because everyone involved on this four-track collection of Latin breaks has produced such a banger this is essentially a miniature digital carnival. Or even carnibal
