Mister T gets his nu-funk on for four-tracker The Funk Ground marrying chunky drums to minimal non-percussive instrumentation. He establishes a territory that ranges from hypnotic opening earworm vocal cut The Heart Grows Fonder featuring Lucy Lune Gillespie to the clav-funk-meets-2-step-garage of Gamma Rays, the Yello-ish The Gospel Way and the JB inflected-breakbeat

KATAKANA EDITS: Vol. 34 (2014)
…And another one rolls off the Katakana Edits (re)assembly line! On (re)construction duties for Vol. 34 are Rsn, Mister T and Mr Vagz for the peak party anthem. The first two team up for some mid-tempo head-nod instro hip-hop fun in the form of the wah-underpinned film dialogue-sampling Son Of A Gun and the even better Dig It which has ‘dope groove’ written all over it turning

FREETHINKER FUNK ESSENCE: The Emanuelle Jam EP (2015)
Say the name ‘Emmanuelle’ to people over a particular age and it conjures images of a certain series of racy, soft focus seventies movies.

EDDIE SHINN: The Plastic Jam (2014)
More ‘downtempo’ breakbeat action from the Cold Busted label that follows in the footsteps of drops from My Neighbour Is, Mister T and Funky Destination in actually being quite funky and lively.

That’ll be a highlight off The Plastic

MISTER T: Funk Around The Sun (2014)
Mister T (no, not that one) has been down the breaks-gym pumping hard and come up with twelve tracker Funk Around The Sun for his sins. It’s party breaks in the traditional sense then as he veers from funky beats to swing beats to disco-influenced beats on the journey from one end of this twelve tracker to the other. It’s not dissimilar territory in fact, to that of his curiously

ZAMALI: The Rebirth (2014)
The Timewarp Music nufunk tree has flowered early this year it seems with Belgian beatsmith Zamali‘s The Rebirth EP which yields five original instros and three remixes. Two of these remixes focus on the filtered guitar ‘n organ ‘n breaks of opener Funky Rotator but spin off in different directions. Apedroid plays up the more programmed aspects while Mister T emphasises
