Breakbeat Paradise manages to represent for original contemporary funk and funky breaks on the same EP here as the label drops Nasa Funk’s Gonna Work It EP which features the band’s original version and no fewer than four remixes – two of which also come with the remix as an instro as well. Nasa Funk is, of course, vocalist Georges Perin’s long-established Greek band and

NASA FUNK: Gonna Work It EP
GRAMOPHONE SOUL: Toxic Funk Vol. 2 (Vinyl 7″)
Breakbeat Paradise is currently running two 45 series and Toxic Funk Vol. 2 is the next instalment of one of them, on which this time (unlike Volume 1) both tracks are the work of just one man – Gramophone Soul. Sitting On The Bay Banger is essentially a re-build of the Beastie Boys’ Peggy Lee-sampling 2004 bomb, Ch-Check It Out with extra beats and little bit more Peggy

BREAKBEAT PARADISE: Funk Originals (With Remixes) (Digital)
Back in 2017, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings took time out from dropping stuff that sampled funk to release vinyl 12″ Funk Originals instead – four tracks of brand-new, all-original funk from Grand Slam, Grand Mother’s Funck, Nasa Funk and A Man About A Dog. Now, that same collection gets a digital release with remixes of three of the tracks. First up is Beat Le Juice who takes on the

PECOE: All For The Beat EP
It’s all about the beats as BBP drop Oz-based breaks producer Pecoe’s fourth EP for the label entitled All For The Beat. Nine tracks deep, the release features no fewer than six Pecoe originals and three remixes courtesy of Gramophone Soul, Double Bubble and Beat-Breaker. The title-track is heavily drenched in saxophone (both tenor and bass) over clean, crisp drum breaks and it’s this

MAKO & MR BRISTOW: Stank Soul Edits Vol. 5 (Vinyl 7″)
Happily, there’s not been such a long gap between Mako & Mr Bristow releases this time as they deliver Stank Soul Edits Vol. 5 a mere six months after the sold-out and subsequently re-pressed Stank Soul Edits Vol 4. For the new 45, the pair present you with A-side, Funky Diggin,’ which re-imagines a little known soul-rocker from a certain bunch of stoned soul picnickers as a mightily funky dancefloor-friendly diggers’ anthem. Meanwhile

MR BRISTOW feat. PHIL RAMOCON: Dangerous
If you’ve ever wondered what the consequences of becoming Drunk On Funk are, wonder no longer – it makes you Dangerous. That’ll be the name of the new one from dancefloor slayers Mr Bristow and singer Phil Ramocon then. The follow-up to their 2015 EP, the track is a windmilling funk original which fuses synth, bass and vocal nods to 80s with punchy party breakbeats and a tale of a

DOUBLE BUBBLE: Ridiculous EP
Neither a new brand of inflatable chewing gum nor indeed a line from the ‘Scottish play,’ Double Bubble hail from Nottingham and come bearing party breaks. Title track Ridiculous finds Kurnel MC riding a bleepy, rolling drum beat as he references interplanetary travel in such a manner that may lead some to suspect the employment of a metaphor. One about being on a natural high

BADBOE & TOM SHOWTIME: Toxic Funk Vol. 1 (Vinyl 7″)
Having popped their 45 cherry back in the spring with Mako & Mr Bristow’s Stank Soul Edits Vol. 4, the Breakbeat Paradise crew are obviously keen to enlarge their slice of the lucrative vinyl 7″ market. And so it is that Badboe & Tom Showtime team-up to deliver the second 45 on Breakbeat Paradise this year with Toxic Funk Vol. 1. The title notwithstanding, this vinyl 7″ actually provides phat hip-hop booties for the dancefloor. The first of

BREAKBEAT PARADISE: Breakin’ The Riddim Vol. 3
A bit later than last year’s Vol. 2, Vol. 3 of Breakbeat Paradise’s bashment breaks crossover comp. Breakin’ The Riddim has arrived with ten tracks to tun up the dancefloor. Twice as long as the initial volume and very slightly lighter than last year’s Vol. 2 the comp. sees a host of the usual suspects return: Cockney Nutjob, Fredy High and Basschimp (who’ve featured on both previous

MORLACK: Pull Up
It had been relatively quiet from the Morlack camp over the last year or so but one of party breaks’ most prolific producers seems to be ramping up his productivity again with two EPS in the last month. The first was Katakana Edits Vol. 83, the second is this one – Pull Up. And as with its predecessor, it finds Morlack stepping outside of his DC Go-go comfort zone, this time into the
