DISCOBETA: Down The Block EP
You’d expect nothing less than hefty breakbeat material from DiscObeta and they don’t disappoint on their new Down The Block EP. Said release features two such original cuts – the title track and Yoobie Doo – both of which max out the scales with a presence like reinforced concrete. Yoobie Doo employs several bars of Sean Price’s Sixty Bar Dash over a booming spacey rhythm

DISCOBETA: Breakin The Rulz
Breakin’ The Rulz (and I’m not just talking about spelling conventions), it’s Discobeta! Not for them sending promo out before release! Here is a duo that rock out with their cocks out and play dangerous – this dropped on 19 November after all. But never mind all that, what you need to know is that all the beats on this seven-tracker are originally composed and played and that (along

DISCOBETA: Sparks EP
It’s been a while since the monkey has heard from production duo Discobeta but it looks like they’ve been keeping themselves busy and here’s the proof – their brand new Who Got The Sparks EP. Who got the sparks? Name sounds a bit like Black Moon’s Ronnie Laws-sampling ’93 Who Got The Props doesn’t it? As does the track itself come to that since all three cuts on the EP find Discobeta

DISCOBETA: Chinese Robots EP (2017)
Rating: 
If you caught Discobeta‘s alpha-plus tune Chinese Robots on BBP’s Big Fat Mama Breaks compilation last year, you might have wondered why a tune this obviously all-conquering didn’t dominate a release centred around itself. Apparently BBP wondered the same thing, so prepare yourself for the march of Chinese Robots EP featuring a title track containing a positive

DISCOBETA: Bring It To Me (2016)
Can’t get enough of that ghetto funky stuff? It’s time to welcome back DiscoBeta then who take the less-travelled path of subtlety in said genre with the lightest of touches when it comes to applying the wobble. Of course this means foregrounding – well – other stuff – instead and Bring It To Me manages not only to funk and wobble but also to skank which results in an

BREAKBEAT PARADISE RECORDINGS: Big Fat Mama Beats (2016)

True, Discobeta‘s disco-space-boogie-breaks effort Honey Bee has been previously released by [information redacted] but because [information redacted] didn’t [information redacted] which most people would view as not really playing cricket and because [information redacted] appears to have something of a history of [information redacted] – there was really only one

DJ JUSTIN JOHNSON: Master Control Funk Program (DISCOBETA remix)(2015) + video
DJ Justin Johnson‘s latest drop is The Discos Of Tron, conjuring in the mind a place where, one assumes, dancers move only in straight lines and alter direction only at right angles and at great speed whilst wearing luminescent suits. Musically this finds representation in five breakbeat tracks, three of which get a remix. So far, so breakbeat. What you want this drop for however is
