It’s been a bit of a week for party breakbeat releases and here’s yet another – Kibosh’s Pocky Way Scour Freemix remix thingy of The Meters’ Hey Pocky A-Way. The original came out on the Rejuvenation LP bang in the middle of the New Orleans legends’ glorious original eight album run between 1969 and 1977 and was a loose mid-tempo groove dripping with sub-tropical bayou

KIBOSH: Globetrottin’ Freemix
There was a time when the music formerly known as ‘ghetto funk’ became decidedly unfunky. Come to think of it, it was around the height of ghetto funk mania, when people started jumping on the bandwagon, skipping the vital step of including anything related to actual funk, and letting the wobble bass tail wag the breakbeat dog. Some might disingenuously claim it was never meant to be

BEAT LE JUICE: I Control Your Body (SCOUR RECORDS Freemix)
Scour Records Freemix time again and it’s Beat Le Juice’s turn as, fresh from last month’s So Much Style EP, the Scour newbie delivers glitch-boogie delight I Control Your Body. Cue much slo-mo squelching, and classic vocal snippets from the likes of (among others) Naughty By Nature as Mr Le Juice controls your body when it’s time to rock a party. Although that’s a party presided over by a

CHARLIE BEALE: Another Man (Scour Records Freemix) (2016) Free download
If you were a notable bluesman on this side of the pond back in the 60s, you probably worked with John Mayall at some point – Peter Green, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton all spring to mind. Very traditional British names of course – but then this was the British blues explosion. Fast forward to 2016 and another name so British that its owner sounds like a relative of one of Eastenders’ main families. That’ll be Charlie Beale. He’s also just

MR STABALINA: Rock The Party EP (2015) + Freemixes
Rating: 
Soon to be everyone’s favourite ghetto funker – sittin’ over there – his name is… Mr Stabalina, Mr Bob Stabalina. Well alright, I don’t actually know what his first name is and I’m pretty sure his surname isn’t really ‘Stabalina’. To be honest I can’t imagine many will be ‘sitting’ either when this EP is playing because Mr Stabalina’s Rock The Party EP delivers an unusual

LEO: Dreams (Scour Records Freemix) (2015) Free download
Sixties psychedelic bands fall asleep beneath the flowers for a couple of hour-er -decades at your peril – lest someone re-imagine your biggest hit as a monstrous glitch breaks number. Like Leo does here of course on Dreams with that hit from Wallace Collection for one half of the latest Freemix action from Scour Records. Said antics are double-teamed with Lovin’, a bit of glitchy disco

COCKNEY NUTJOB: My Baby Don’t (Scour Records Freemix) (2015) Free download
If you haven’t noticed lately, Scour Records have been busily gliding around planet breaks hoovering up party-starting talent like some sort of ghetto funk Dyson. If you’re one of the lucky ones what happens is, if you’re not already on a label (and in some cases even if you have been) you get sucked in using patented Scour technology and spend the rest of your days making floor-filling tunes whilst
