BADBOE: Ghetto Funk Testament (2015)
It seems like it’s been ages since a solo original Badboe release – let me see now, that would have been his Pump Up The Funk LP in…2012. But that was three years ago! Good lord! It really has been ages since a solo original Badboe release. Fear not though, this scene legend is back with a vengeance putting the fun back into ghetto funk in a testament that is tantamount to a dancefloor

BEATNIK CITY: The Beat Kicks Vol. 2 (2015)
Rating: 
I thought it was high time for more big beat licks from The Beat Kicks booty series on Beatnik City – and here it is – with all the swagger of its predecessor. Vol. 2 weighs in at one track deeper but the game is the same – namely pedal-to-the-metal, big beat versions of sixties classics. Some uptempo library music with little added DWYCK sir? Try Fab Samperi and Skeewiff. Re-

BREAKBEAT PARADISE RECORDINGS: Bring Back The Funk EP Vol. 3 (2015)
It’s sometimes easy to lose sight of the funk in the midst of all the wobble but Badboe‘s Breakbeat Paradise Recordings have made it a personal mission to ensure that the spirit of what JB started isn’t forgotten on planet breakbeat. For this year’s effort, proceedings are opened by Father Funk who loves to love you with a moody disco breaks number adorned with Timbaland vocals and a dash

BADBOE: ‘The Bullet Jam’ (2014) Free download + video
It’s hip-hop doo-wop time as Badboe delivers booty mash The Bullet Jam. Basically, Pete Wingfield’s tongue-in-cheek 50s pastiche Eighteen With A Bullet and Missy Elliott’s verse on the Damizza remix of Pariah Carey’s godawful I Still Believe collide over a break on this to create a mood-lightening number, that if not exactly seasonal, at least has a warm glow about it. Not to

BADBOE: Pump Up The Funk – Instrumentals (2014)
First there was the album taster EP. Then there was the album itself. Then there was the remix LP. And now, finally, there’s an EP of Pump Up The Funk instrumentals. Ooh he’s a canny one, that Badboe! And just to prove it, he has chosen the very best tunes to release the instrumentals of – just in case you thought you could inflate the dancefloor pressure better than he did with his

VARIOUS: FUNK BLASTERS – Squad (2014)
Given how much material Morlack puts out in the average year, it’s hardly surprising that he hasn’t put out a compilation on his Funk Blasters label until now. What is surprising is that not only has he picked probably his most prolific year ever to do it, he’s also managed to find an impressive team (including two other label bosses) with whom to do it. And while the members of this hand

FUNKANOMICS & BADBOE: Remix The Version Part 2 (2014)
Welcome to Riddim Fruit’s latest crop yield which is this, Dephicit and Shimi Sonic remixed by Badboe and Funkanomics though not in that order. It’s actually Badboe who goes first and he gets his hands on Shimi Sonic’s Hot Peach. And filthy is the direction he goes in, making the beat bigger and adding some low end synth action. Funkanomics on the other hand fondle the glitchy

DJ KID STRETCH: Get It On The Floor (2014)
Get It On The Floor? Whatever could DJ Kid Stretch be referring to on his new EP? Drugs? Sex? The experience of having your fresh fat laces trodden on by some blundering elephant with two left feet? Then again, perhaps it’s not the answer to a question. Maybe ‘it’ is your ass and he’s issuing a firm command. Cheeky. One thing is certain, either the disco breaks original or one of the disco breaks

BADBOE: Pump Up The Funk Remixed (2013)
Ploughing through the vast drift of rival ghetto funk/ breaks remix EPs and albums deluging the monkey’s inbox at the moment is Pump Up The Funk Remixed – whereon every track (except for Bad Mofo) from Badboe‘s entire year-old LP Pump Up The Funk gets the rework treatment from a sackful of remixers. These are, to wit: Kool Hertz, WBBL, The Captain, JPOD, Chudy, Father Funk
