Good lord! Has it really been ten years of monkeyboxing? It has! Actually, strictly speaking, it’s only been eight years of monkeyboxing.com but there were those two years before that with the blog in its incarnations on Blogger and something called ‘Myspace’. Ten years of funk, soul, hip-hop, reggae and breaks news, massive global exclusives like the Wu/ Hendrix and Pepperland mashup LPs and tons of other freebies – not least of which must be MB’s very own annual Filthy Rhythm, Dirty Soul compilation series. Talking of which – here’s Vol. 6 and it’s a lean, mean, grooving machine. Why? So many reasons – but how about a huge space funk exclusive from ‘Dr Bone’ himself, the mighty Ashley Slater of Freak Power/ Kitten & The Hip fame? What about no fewer than five other exclusive edits from Ewan Hoozami, Mr Bristow, Zemerald, RocknRolla Soundsystem and Sukie & The Browns as re-touched by Mako? And how about another seven cuts representing some of the best funk, soul, hip-hop, reggae and breaks in the last twelve months from Cockney Nutjob, T Bird & The Breaks, DJ Inko, Shaka Loves You, Zemerald (again!), Spark Arrester and Deer lick. Damn! That’s a lot of good reasons. Cop the good stuff from the link directly below and preview tracks on the Hearthis player below that:
