Do you miss the Beastie Boys? I miss the Beastie Boys. What better way to see in February on MB then, than to give copy space to Suckaside Vs LROY’s brand new Beasties mash-up LP. That’ll be ‘Suckaside’ as in the production alliance consisting of B-Side and Sucka Porductions and LROY as in SP’s very own brother and DJ cohort, of course. But what to name an LP featuring the vocal work

SUCKASIDE VS LROY: Unlicensed To Ill
VARIOUS: South Coast Rulers
South Coast Rulers from Cuttin’ It Fine Records? Have they opened up a business selling shatterproof plastic measuring strips? Don’t be daft! It’s the new one from DJ Roast Beatz’ label featuring tracks from such esteemed production dons as El Bomba, Cockney Nutjob and two from the big man – Roast Beatz, himself – one in

BREAKBEAT PARADISE RECORDINGS: Bring Back The Funk Vol. 4 (2015)
Who’d have thunk it? It’s been two and a half years since the last volume of a certain BBP comp. so it’s long past time that Breakbeat Paradise dropped Bring Back The Funk Vol. 4 which is a bumper six cuts long. Longtime cohorts Badboe & Prosper stand up first with a Ludacris ‘pella and a James Taylor sample over a suitably beefy disco breaks beat to ensure your smiling face. There’s

SECOND HAND AUDIO: Extended Play (Remixed)(2017)
The six tracks of Second Hand Audio‘s excellent hip-hop drop Extended Play from last year get a second crack of the whip on Extended Play Remixed in which play is indeed extended to a whopping ten tracks. That’ll be no fewer than three versions of Psycho Les-featuring banger Brand New then (courtesy of Slynk, DJP and Ugly

B-SIDE vs BADBOE: Party Bangers Vol. 2 (2016)
B-Side and Badboe on the same drop? Now there’s a face-off to conjure with as two of the funkiest ghetto funkers go head-to-head for the sequel to B-Side’s Party Bangers Vol. 1 from last year with Party Bangers Vol. 2. Also great timing with the release date – why it’s practically begging to soundtrack Guy Fawkes Night parties! But what is the nature of the four ‘bangers’ hereon? Well

BREAKBEAT PARADISE RECORDINGS: Badass Funk EP (2016)
Rating: 
Blimey. Hold the floor. When a label like Breakbeat Paradise celebrates ten years in the business you know you can expect some heavyweight party breaks action and with a name like Badass Funk EP – you know that shit is going to be stanker than JB’s jock strap. Don’t be expecting any wobble though because part of this one’s charm is that in celebrating a label

B-SIDE: Party Bangers Vol. 1 (2015)
Fireworks Night may be the best part of a month gone but that hasn’t stopped Southampton DJ/Producer B-Side letting loose a five deep set of Party Bangers which is apparently only Vol. 1. And one fully expects (judging by past form) that both B-Side and the label behind this release (that’ll be Breakbeat Paradise) will make good on a follow-up. This drop however opens with synth-bassed

GHETTO FUNK presents: WBBL (GFP019)(2015)
Another day, another wobble. I mean WBBL. A man named after one of the defining characteristics of the ghetto funk sound and who makes frequent use of both that and the other two i.e. crunchy breaks and choice samples – here exemplified in this four tracker. Amid the grind on Stephen!, appears to be a chopped up bit of Will Smith’s Wild Wild West, there’s some vintage

GHETTO FUNK presents: B-SIDE (GFD12)(2014)
Ghetto Funk ‘present’ B-Side again and you can see that as on previous occasions he’s got a coat so healthy it’s gleaming, very white teeth and excellent poise. Note the front paw extended as if to flip the crossfader and the erect tail as if to say, “so this is the latest four-tracker on Ghetto Funk – if anything a little bit more gnarly than I’ve done before. Imagine a dj spinning an angle grinder

ICONS OF GHETTO FUNK 2013 Parts 1 & 2: Free download (2013)
I had been thinking this latest annual installment of the Ghetto Funk Icons series, Icons Of Ghetto Funk, was early. But then I checked and actually it’s later than the previous two years. And that’s not all that’s different. This time the icons they’re remixing aren’t the popular music giants of yore but some of the label’s own artists. Say what? Remixes of the Ghetto Funk back catalogue by
