Silent River my arse. Howla‘s noisy ghetto funk/dancehall rerub of Jesse Royal’s more conventional bashment banger now contains synth bass so abrasive it would make 40-grit sandpaper seem about as hardcore as a baby wipe were you to use it in your DIY. You know – the DIY you were going to do on New Year’s Day until you woke with the mother of all hangovers. I say ‘you’, I mean

GHETTO FUNK presents: HOWLA & WBBL (GFD13)(2014)

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
