It’s been over a month since the last free download on MB but never fear for Toy Beats is here neither balling nor shot-calling but taking it back to What’s Golden. That’s right, we break this extended period of musical privation with TB’s rerub of the biggest track off the mighty Jurassic 5’s 2002 LP Power In Numbers. Now fifteen bpms faster than the original, the track finds Zaakir

JURASSIC 5: Customer Service (2016) Ltd. pay-what-you-want download
Ahh – customer service – or rather poor customer service – we’ve all been there haven’t we? You paid for it in good faith, it’s not fit for purpose, so you phone up that faceless global megacorps only to find that (as usual) ‘lines are unusually busy’. When you do get through, you speak to a single-celled organism who resorts to repetition when their script cannot cope – oh and their manager is

JURASSIC 5: Quality Control 7″ (2015)
The first of two more re-released hip-hop classics in interesting formats in the run-up for this year’s Record Store Day is more 45 craziness in the form of two cuts off Jurassic 5 LP Quality Control. The seven inch release is a dinked 45 of the low ‘n slow title track off J5’s second LP from 2000 with piano-stomp-underpinned Jurass Finish First on the flip. You should be able to afford that even if

RECORD STORE DAY: Wu-Tang Clan, Jurassic 5, Cypress Hill deluxe re-issues (2015)
Prestige hip-hop re-issue label Get On Down, get on down for Record Store Day with three fat re-issues. One can well imagine vinyl junkies salivating at the prospect of a 7″ re-press of Cypress Hill’s Phunky Feel One/ How I Could Just Kill A Man with an embossed black skull outer sleeve for example. If that causes salivation however, a veritable pool of drool could well result

JURASSIC 5: The Way We Do It (Zemerald remix) + (Phibes remix) + original + video (2014) Free download
Rating: 
If new Jurassic 5 track The Way We Do It doesn’t quite knock hard enough for you (and lord knows it should), try Zemerald‘s re-edit of the California crew’s first ‘new’ material since their reunion. Expect bleepy things over the bizarre soul-jazz dropout that producer Heavy D stuck in near the end – plus some extra crazy drum fill antics and synth siren sounds throughout to keep the kids

S STRONG: Slang 42 (2013)
He might not be the most prolific of bootleggers but S Strong doesn’t piss around when he gets down to business. Last time I caught him, he was all about the mambo breaks. Of late however, it seems he’s caught swing fever – of which Slang 42 is the most recent (and pick) of the bunch. Slang 42, when it’s at home, is a highly cunning Linguistics (Jurassic 5) mash-up with the title track of the

DJ NU-MARK feat. QUANTIC: Tropicalifornia (‘Broken Sunlight’ Series 4) (2012) video + free download
Dj Nu-Mark continues the innovative release schedule for his Broken Sunlight album (every track released on a single!) with the fourth in the series – Tropicalifornia and there’s no sign of let-up in the quality, or the variety, yet. Series 1-3 yielded hip-hop, disco breaks and funk – this one is a chilled splice of organic latin breaks and hip-hop stylings (there’s a bit of scratching)

TOM DRUMMOND: Rock The Rhythm EP (BBP045) (2012)
Oz beat fiend Tom Drummond’s latest is the Rock The Rhythm EP on which he delivers four cuts that buck current ghetto funk trends by daring to venture into the sub-120 bpm arena. Below 120 bpm? Good god – you might as well be sat down for that right? If your answer’s ‘yes’ then think again as TD turns Tags’ obscure psych-funk version of Get Out My Life Woman into a 105 bpm funky breaks
