The Munchies

This mashup blends soul, funk, reggae, and hip-hop into one explosive ride.

At its core are two heavyweights:
🎙️ Joe Cocker – Woman to Woman (raw soulful energy)
🔥 Inner Circle – Da Bomb (dancehall fire)

Layered throughout are carefully chosen samples that bridge eras and styles:

EPMD – Knick Knack Patty Wack (golden-age hip hop punch)

2Pac – California Love (West Coast anthem vibes)

Jurassic 5 – The Rhythm (turntable flow)

YG Hootie – Kali Love (Cali grit)

Aretha Franklin – Baby, I Love You (queen of soul power)

Wreckx-N-Effect – New Jack Swing II (90s groove)

Quasimoto – Astro Black (abstract flavor)

Lonnie Liston Smith – A Chance for Peace (cosmic jazz calm)

The result is a genre-bending journey — from soul to reggae to boom-bap to G-funk — stitched together to celebrate rhythm, groove, and the timeless art of sampling.

PRESS RELEASE

When Aim’s Cold Water Music dropped in 1999 on cult Manchester label Grand Central Records, it was an underground sensation. Preceded by a string of well received 12”s and EP’s the album was eagerly anticipated and Aim delivered in a big way, elevating his trademark sound to new heights with a collection of uplifting cinematic soundscapes, dark jazz fuelled breaks and hard hitting hip-hop beats (featuring guest rap legends QNC, AG and YZ). Uniquely, there was a sense of nostalgic sentimentality running through the record and the whole thing was underpinned by a musicality often missing in sample based production.

Pushed on by organic, word-of-mouth promotion and the success of the Aim Live band that sold out Shepherds Bush Empire and smashed Glastonbury’s Jazz World stage in 2007, Cold Water Music went on to shift over 100,000 units and is now seen as a ground-breaking, genre defining UK classic that has inspired legions of bedroom beat-makers.

The original vinyl pressing sold out within weeks of it’s release making it a sought after collectors piece with rocketing Ebay prices for clean copies. After years of fan requests, both ATIC and Aim felt the time was right to finally repress the wax. Says Andy Turner (Aim), “Rather than just repress the original album, we remastered and recut it from scratch using the original DAT master tapes.”

Every now and then an album comes along that both resonates and endures. An album that stays with those first to hear it and one that is discovered and treasured by generations to follow. Seventeen years on from it’s initial release Cold Water Music sounds as fresh, as inventive and as necessary as it ever did.

massive thanks to Abbie McCarthy for playing our track with Natty from our Extended Play EP on BBC Radio Kent

No Pressure / BBC Introducing In Kent with Abbie McCarthy

This sees the long awaited return of Parker to his spiritual home at Jalapeno. And he hasn’t come empty handed as he brings a brand new 3 track EP – Aqua Dust.

Breakbeat heads will of course be familiar with the Bristolian DJ/Producer due to support from Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss, 6Music and XFM and his releases on discerning breaks labels Goodgroove and Bombstrikes. Jalapeno fans remember him as one half of label favourites The Beekeepers with his compadre Boca45. Since he was last Beekeeping he’s been keeping busy with his hot new Neuropol project releasing on Shogun Audio and Cosmic Bridge before coming home to Jalapeno with a clutch of fresh Parker beats.

Aqua Dust is a piece of instrumental hip hop reminiscent of the glory days of RJD2. Horn hits and vocal snaps adorn the heavy hitting beat as it drives through luscious strings samples and dream like bars. Channelling elements of Bristol’s dusty trip hop scene it’s one for the diggers and hip hoppers who like their beats underground.
