Headz-Mix 2025-10

This bootleg is a guaranteed dance-floor filler that successfully manages to modernize a funk classic without stripping it of its soulful core.

The remix takes the iconic, instantly recognizable clavinet riff and vocal hooks of "Superstition" and weaponizes them for the club. The production is clean, crisp, and driving. The rhythm section is where the magic happens: a punchier, heavier Nu Disco kick drum and a powerful, thick bassline provide a deep, infectious groove that pushes the original firmly into high-energy territory.

Grant Lazlo and Basement Freaks are masters of the "re-funk," and here they respect the source material while layering in subtle house or breakbeat elements to build intensity. It preserves the joyful spirit of the 1972 original but provides the necessary sonic polish and rhythmic punch to make it a seamless fit in any modern funk, soul, or disco DJ set. If you are looking for a respectful yet powerful update to a foundational song, this edit delivers a guaranteed good time.

Superstition (Grant Lazlo X Basement Freaks Bootleg)

Welcome to volume 3 of The Beatles Dub Club! 

A special DJ set showcasing The Fab Four like you've never heard before!

DJ Chris Arnold takes you on a magical mystery tour of his collection of covers, remixes and tracks that sampled arguably the greatest band that ever existed - The Beatles. 

Expect to hear plenty of reggae, ska, latin, hip hop, dub, funk, house and even drum & bass takes on the wonderful music created by John, Paul, George & Ringo.

Since its explosive debut in 2021, The Beatles Dub Club has packed out stages at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Latitude, Isle of Wight, Camp Bestival, Green Man and far beyond.

The show has been championed by Fatboy Slim, who personally invited Chris to perform at his All Back To Minehead Butlins weekender, and has been tipped by Far Out Magazine as one of Glastonbury’s “Top 20 Alternative Acts to Watch”.

The Beatles Dub Club has since gone truly international, with acclaimed tours across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Bali, while continuing to light up festivals all over the UK & Ireland - including standout sets supporting UB40, Craig Charles and The Wailers.

"If Sergeant Pepper had been a DJ, this would have been his set..." - Fatboy Slim

"Far from pure novelty, it is a wonderful way to celebrate music in all of its connective guises" - Far Out Magazine

"Something so effective, and seemingly obvious, that it feels as if it should have existed for much longer than its inception just a few years ago" - The Fix Magazine

"Loving it!" - Mary McCartney

Ritmo Callejero (Basement Freaks Remix)

Taken from their album Fire It Up, "Real Bad Boys" makes a very subtle reference to the chord structure on Inner Circle's famous "Bad Boys" and features the distinctive guttural vocal tones of Blackout JA. Remix-wise Irish Moss have called in the big guns. Jalapeno's Basement Freaks turn in a strutting nu-funk blend!

Real Bad Boys (feat. Bass Nacho & Blackout JA) (Basement Freaks Remix)

For Toxic Funk Vol. 20, we’re excited to welcome back the man with the big beats and unmistakable grooves – Sonale – for his first-ever 7” vinyl release on Breakbeat Paradise Recordings. After making waves with digital releases like the bass-driven Ill Vibe EP and the party-starting Sound Monkey EP, Sonale now brings his signature style straight to wax with two exclusive funk-heavy weapons.

The A-side, Give It (115 BPM), is a midtempo floor filler brimming with chunky bass, crisp drums, and soulful vocal stabs. Its bright, uplifting energy and tight arrangement make it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser – whether you’re kicking off a set or taking it up a notch mid-session.

Flip to the B-side and Jimis Ride (115 BPM) shifts into a smoother, rolling funk vibe. With warm guitar riffs, rounded basslines, and a laid-back yet infectious groove, it’s a track that blends sophistication with head-nodding danceability – perfect for keeping the floor moving while giving the vibe some space to breathe.
With Toxic Funk Vol. 20, Sonale shows that his funk translates perfectly to the 45 format – delivering a must-have slice of vinyl for DJs, collectors, and groove lovers.
