Breakbeat Paradise Records start the Christmas festivities early in 2020 (forgivably, you might agree, given the events of the preceding eleven months) by spreading advance Yuletide cheer with the Christmas Bootleg Bells Vol. 2 LP. The plan was simple – give the multifarious members of the BBP family the chance to rework classic funk and soul Christmas tracks (as opposed to more

BREAKBEAT PARADISE: Christmas Bootleg Bells Vol. 2
MINED & FORREST: Cool Operator EP
It’s all about the variety on Cool Operator, Mined & Forrest’s new breakbeat EP on BBP. The opener and title track is a relatively chilled affair offering glitch-hoppy stylings compared to the thunderous, snarling guitar-led business of Rock-It which follows. Up next, NY Diesel dials down the grit in favour of breakbeat atmospherics and a clear bid for the very next opening in the cyberpunk/ hacker movie soundtrack market. Finally the duo

PROSPER & BADBOE: Toxic Funk Vol. 3 (Vinyl 7″)
Prosper & Badboe ensure the 45 side of things continues to bubble away at the Breakbeat Paradise label with the arrival of new vinyl 7″, Toxic Funk Vol. 3. And the first of two cuts to be featured is A-side Beastie Lifestyles on which (you guessed it) the Beastie Boys’ All Lifestyles ‘pella sees the light of day again over a jaunty new disco-funky beat. This alone should provide more than enough ‘shabadoo shabbadee’ (if not

PECOE: Funk Anthems EP
If you’ve caught any of Pecoe’s previous material, the news that he’s got a new EP out on BBP called Funk Anthems will be cause for celebration. Possibly not coincidentally, the material on this one is reminiscent of circa 2009 LP Break The Funk by label owner Badboe himself – to wit, party breakbeat tunes comprised of funky grooves and a plethora of vocal samples with wobble-free

THA FUN POLICE (KENNY BEEPER/ MC SHURESHOCK/ SNUZE): Freefall
It’s Oz-hop time on Breakbeat Paradise Recordings with the release (no pun intended) of Freefall by Tha Fun Police – a crew consisting of a trio of established names – to wit: DJ/ producer Kenny Beeper, MC/ lyricist Shureshock and DJ/ MC Snuze. The EP consists of the chugging title track (plus no fewer than four remixes from Kibosh, Pecoe, Spenda C and Doctor Werewolf) and the

MAKO & MR BRISTOW: Stank Soul Edits Vol. 6 (Vinyl 7″)
It’s been a long road to getting this out – the small matter of a pandemic being only one among multifarious delays that nearly meant no vinyl drop at all. Ultimately however, the forces of light have triumphed – in so sudden and final a turnaround that Mako & Mr Bristow’s Stank Soul Edits Vol.6 arrived before the PR was finalised. So let’s cut to the chase – on the one side – Stealin’ Alright; on t’other side – Stolen Nolan. Cheeky!

NASA FUNK: Gonna Work It EP
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

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
