The mightiest oak grows from the humblest of nut...

http://soundcloud.com/Spinforth started his weekly* Scour for the http://soundcloud.com/Ghettofunk website back in January 2011, assisted by fellow Hong Kong Ping Ponger's Morphosis and Fat Harry. His quest was to seek out the choicest cuts from the freshest, often unheard of, producers ploughing their trade on SoundCloud. The Scour soon blossomed into a bit of a phenomenon, unearthing some of the finest producers to not yet have their tracks out in the DJ scene!

With incredible numbers of people checking out the weekly* posts, it seemed a logical next step to set up a brand new digital label, showcasing, and officially releasing, the creamiest of the crop of The Scour. Boom! http://soundcloud.com/scourrecords was born!

Expect all Scour traditions to be upheld throughout the initial releases; selection process, BPM order, making up of new words, a touch of nepotism from time to time, it's all here. The first first release is an eight tracker - It was only mean't to be five - see what we mean about upholding all Scour traditions :)

Detta, real name Adam Cuglietta, has been DJing for over 20 years and has rocked many parties, clubs and festivals in the UK, Latvia, Italy, Switzerland and more. He has grown from rave to drum and bass, from hip hop to breakbeat, to finally ending up in his rightful place in the mid tempo, bass heavy, funky breaks scene called Ghetto Funk.

His rise to fame came after winning the 2012 Ghetto Funk DJ Competition, beating 75 other entrants to win a DJ set at Sunrise Festivals UK alongside other artists such as Stickybuds, Goodgroove & B-Side. This paved the way for him to become a regular part of the Ghetto Funk Nightclub & Ghetto Funk Allstars crew which had him performing at many gigs & festivals with more major players like A-Skillz, Featurecast, JFB, Slynk, Basement Freaks & The Funk Hunters.

Before this jump into the Ghetto Funk scene, Detta hosted many club nights in London, won a DJ competition at Snowbombing Festival and played for Finger Lickin Records at a TV advertising promotional event, to name some achievements. However since getting into producing in the last couple of years, his talents have shown he is more than just a great DJ.

In 2012 his 'reboot' of Knife Party's Bonfire was played on Mistajam's show on Radio 1Xtra. His C2C - Down The Road remix was used by JFB as a regular track in his 2013 sets. His collaboration with Sammy Senior for a remix competition of Krafty Kuts's - Work That Body, saw them come 6th out of 120 entries. His collaboration track 'Bag It Up' that was featured on B-Side's Ghetto Funk EP, has been voted number #1 in Juno Records 'Best Breakbeat Recommendation of 2013'. 

In summary, Detta will rock your party’s socks off! With his exclusive tracks, edits & remixes, matched with his turntablist skills, he is definitely one to watch…

Have you ever wondered what throwing Jimi Hendrix, Ray Charles, Notorious BIG, Gramatik, Tipper and great brazilian artists such as Tim Maia, Di Melo, Roberto Carlos and Sabotagem in a blender, grinding it all up and adding a touch of bass fuelled funky glitch madness in the mixture would sound like?

Well that’s exactly what the Shaka trio have cooked up for you! Originally from Florianópolis but now residing in the dense skyscraper forests of São Paulo, these three musical mad professors / funkenstein creators have been imploding dancefloors with their sonic treats across Brazil and the world.

They have played alongside Criolo, Marcelo D2, Otto, Black Alien, 5 a Seco, Tom Zé and Bixiga 70 in festivals and nightclubs such as Coala Festival, Tribaltech, Universo Paralello, Lions Nightclub and Clash Club amongst others. And have just recently had their first official release Spacefunk EP by Freshly Squeezed music reach a Top 5 position on Juno Download.

“The title track is a collision of louche cocktail sounds and colossal bass farts, Crumble is a stop-starty slab of instrumental glitchy blues-hop, Freedom chops up the gospel soul and Boogie brings you glitchy-tonk – it’s a bit like Jools Holland meeting Tipper with the emphasis on the Tipper. What you especially need this for however is Shaka’s very own remix of Am I Wrong. No, they’re not wrong – it’s a big-off lurching electro-blues stomp." - Monkeyboxing.com on Spacefunk EP

Live Shaka are ever so versatile playing from one man vinyl DJ Sets, Back to Back sets with funky grooves and finally a three man show with controllers, drum machines and live instruments that will shake every skeleton in the room!

BadboE is a truecore musichead born in Denmark in 1980. Located in the northern part of Denmark, where the weather always suxx, which gives BadboE a good excuse to sit in his music lab throwing pumpin' beats at his 18" bass sound system all day long. BadboE�s primary music inspirations come from the oldskool funk productions from the late 60s and the 70s. Like many other breakbeat artists, this musical legacy is where BadboE dig in to bring new life by cutting and mixing the pieces into new danceable songs. The specialty has become sophisticated mixing of old funk samples with 80s rap vocals and hooks. BadboE started out making music in the mid 90s - doing mainly euro hardcore techno, but soon found out that his real passion and fascination was for breaks and bigbeats. After trying out just about everything in the electronic music genre from - house, trance, club, happy hardcore to drum&bass, triphop and Breakbeat the conclusion was that funky breakbeat is what he does best. So now BadboE pretty much combined it all into one with an emphasis on breaks, which has become the BadboE-style. 

In 2006 BadboE formed his own digital recordlabel together with his fellow musician Wiccatron called Breakbeat Paradise Recordings (BBP Recordings). The goal with the label was to ensure faster access to the market as well as open doors for some of the great artists that are doing funky breaks. Since then the nu funk scene has come to live and the BBP label is set to be one of the digital leaders in this genre. 

BadboE has been keeping busy releasing his unique flavour of b-boy funk and uptempo partyfunk on his own label and on various other labels. After releasing a few vinyl records in 2007 - the debut EP: "Loose Your Funky Self" and a remix by Break The Box called "Walk out Laughing" the successful EP "Dynamite/Nothing But the Funk" was released in Oct 2008 with remixes from All Good Funk Alliance! This was followed by the successful 4-track Good Groove 11 vinyl that managed to stay at the no. 1 spot on the breakbeat chart for several months. A lot or remixes has been coming out on various labels and they have all contributed to settling BadboE�s name in the funky breakbeat scene. In 2008 BadboE got active as a live DJ playing at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and at the electronic Boom festival in Portugal as well as other local gigs. 

BadboE's music is going in 2 directions - the first is making funky breaks and trippy lounge breaks without using uncleared samples (material to release commercially) and the other is for the scene mixing, breaking and bootlegin' with the oldskool funk tunes. In the upcoming years BadboE will focus on getting his music out there with a full length album coming out in 2009 as well as touring the world with his funky partyrocking DJsets. Stay tuned...
