BREAKBEAT PARADISE: Breakin’ The Riddim Vol. 2
Stand by! Breakbeat Paradise are about to deliver the follow-up to the roaring success of last year’s Breakin’ The Riddim collection of dancehall-influenced party breaks with – well – Breakin’ The Riddim Vol. 2 which looks all set to make an even bigger commotion.

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

BREAKBEAT PARADISE RECORDINGS: Big Fat Mama Beats 2 (2016)
BBP’s latest comp. is Big Fat Mama Beats 2 – a second and even larger helping (ten tracks rather than seven) to follow-up last year’s first volume. As before, dismiss from your mind any notion suggested by the cover art or title of delicate or swinging tweaks of Big Maybelle tracks. What you’re getting here is industrial-sized slabs of fat funk breaks – for which read plenty of glitch and grind

DJ ROAST BEATZ: Luxury Boom Bap – Remix EP (2016)

BREAKBEAT PARADISE: Paradise Breaks Vol. IV (2016)
Imagine if you will, a tropical island consisting of nothing more than a conveniently dancefloor-sized clearing and a couple of palm trees. Floating above cloud level at sunset. Oh yeah – and the conical under-surface of said island reveals the entire structure to be nothing less than a giant speaker. Someone clearly has, for this is the cover of the latest compilation of party breakbeat glory in the

DJ CLAIRVO: Rally In Paris EP (2016)
DJ Clairvo steps out from behind his Lack Jemmon project with Kid Panel once more to keep the revs up on his Rally In… series – this time with Rally In Paris. Inspired by what sounds like a recent high-octane point-to-point sojourn in the city of love racing from djing in clubs to djing in bars to djing house party after house party, Clairvo tries to aurally recreate his madcap hijinx with this

FUNKLINERS: Funk Like This EP (2016)
Just in case you thought the label had gone a bit old school of late, here’s Funkliners to make sure things are kept all twenty-first century round at BBP towers. Snuff and Just Jess (for such are the Funkliners) were already established djs before they hooked up for production bizniz but since pairing up two years ago, they’ve nailed a remarkable amount of high profile support slots

MAKO & MR BRISTOW: Supersoul Rock N Roll EP (2015)
Bristol-to-London pairing Mako & Mr Bristow follow-up their own previous EPs on Breakbeat Paradise (Mako with The Hawk and Mr Bristow with Benny Silver) by dropping a brand, spanking, new 4-track EP of funk-soul-hip-hop-party breaks shortly – tracks off which have been getting much love from Craig Charles of late.
