If Fat Harry‘s PR blah is anything to go by, Scour Records and its associated acts and employees wallow permanently in a festering pit of pan-sexual deviance. By way of seasonal celebration they drag an unsuspecting (and for ‘unsuspecting’ read ‘completely unaware’) Leo Sayer, Stevie Wonder, Prince and Dame Shirley Bassey into their sweaty embrace in order to give them a relatively mild

SCOUR RECORDS: Scoured Cream Vol. 3 (2013)
Third time’s the charm as Vol. 3 of Scoured Cream wobbles all the way to the bank not to mention, on past form, all the way to the top of Juno’s breakbeat chart, if that hasn’t happened already. It wouldn’t be a Scour release if it began without a glitch though and this one is no exception as J-Sound steps up with the swinging Glitch Up Funk Right which encapsulates the retro wobble flavour

GHETTO FUNK presents: FATHER FUNK (GFPD13)(2013) Free download from 13.2.13
Father Funk‘s name always sounds to me like a slightly testy personification of the greatest musical genre known to man (“Do you think I’m made of funk?”, “Funk doesn’t grow on trees you know”, “I’m not sleeping, I’m just resting my funk” etc. etc.) which, is ironic because his music is the very thing to prompt just such a testy personification to tell the ghetto funk kids to, “Turn that bloody

TREMENDO: Dirty Funk Vol. 1 (2012)
Rating: 
That the raison d’etre of Vol. 1 of this new series on Telephunken‘s Tremendo label seems to be to put the funk back into ghetto funk will come as no end of relief to those who were wondering if that ‘f’ word was (with honourable exceptions) becoming as redundant as the ‘funky’ in ‘funky’ house always has been. Dirty Funk opens with Trotter & Telephunken getting all stank with the

TRU FUNK: Nu Party Breaks Vol. 4 (2012)
Ahhh the party breaks/ funky breaks/ ghetto funk compilation – you’re never quite sure what the content will include these days. Bit of glitch hop? Er – alright, yeah. Drum n bass? Not really my bag, man. Moombahton? No ta. Dubstep? Fuck off. Which is where Tru Funk come in. The missing ‘e’ indicates that we’re all modern ‘n shit but there is actually a clear link with the thang that James

SCOUR RECORDS: Scoured Cream Vol. 1 (2012)
Rating:
Spinforth‘s Soundcloud Scour is all grown up! Its now a record label as well as a means of saving thousands of lazy-bastard digital djs from mining soundcloud for the diamonds among the shite. This release is a bit like the free Scour really – only it’s not free. Well there’d be little point in starting a label if it was would there? You can expect the Scour traditions to be firmly upheld in

TREMENDO Vol. 3: Various (2012)
Er, yeah – so this should’ve been posted last week. If you didn’t know, the man behind the Tremendo label is Spanish ghetto funker Telephunken. That’s Señor Telephunken to you. Or Senor Tremendo. Sounds like a magician – which is apt since his first trick, I mean track, (well – it is his label) is to sample Rage Against The Machine’s Killing In The Name – just in
