2013 has set out to be the year of the funk on Breakbeat Paradise Recordings – and to establish that we’ve invited producer and multi-instrumentalist Michael DeVellis from New York, who’s brought along 4 sizzling jams, that are all about the funk!

Michael DeVellis is no stanger to BBP as he featured on BadboE’s new album Pump Up The Funk, where he made instrumental contributions on the horns, flute, keys and synth on several jams on the album.

On this EP Mr. DeVellis has gone though the crates himself and picked some acapellas, which he’s mashed into his original funk productions. This EP even features the very first joint that BadboE and Michael DeVellis did back in 2009, when things were all about the funk – and nothing but the funk!

A.	The EP kicks off with the big 7 and a half-minute production High Freedom, which takes elements of Jurassic Five and Talib Kweli and takes it into Michael DeVellis’ world of funk. The song takes us though several stages of beats and breaks, all designed to entertain us with the funk

B.	The second cut on the EP gives us a small glance back into the early era of Nu Funk. Over and Under was the very first track Michael DeVellis and BadboE did together and it settled a great teamwork between the two, which has continued on until this day. With some big bad beats and the raw funk elements of Michael DeVellis is how it all begun.

C. Ryder Classic is the original jam that was reworked as the last track on BadboE’s album called Work It Out. On BBP we thought the classic 70s funk vibes of the original, had just the right attitude we wanted for this EP. Just straight up funky music from start to finish.

D.	The final jam on the EP is the energetic Turtle Love, which takes little elements from the godfather of funk himself, and mashed it with pieces from Daft Punk, The Beastie Boys, and the Turtle Island String Quartet. It’s all slammed into Michael DeVellis funky blender and out comes a cocktail of fresh funky vibes.

Michael DeVellis is a multi-talented artist, and here at BBP we are just proud that we had him make the funk once again…

Review from Juno:
Last seen lurking on the label’s cracking Pump Up The Funk collection, Devellis returns with his first full EP in a long, long time. Littered with samples and very cool grooves, the whole EP is a doozy but here’s a few more details in case you’re undecided; “High Freedom” is a summer-stunned block rocker with more sneaky hip-hop vox than a Compton recording booth. “Over & Under”, meanwhile, takes a more laid back jazzier approach with a rap that doesn’t sound too far away from Method Man. “Ryder Classic” takes us to a more authentic early 70s funk club and makes us swing until we’re dazzled and dizzy while “Turtle Love” blends the Beasties with Daft Punk and whole series of lush horns. Ace.

𝓻𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓶𝓾𝓼𝓲𝓬 𝓸𝓷 𝓿𝓲𝓷𝔂𝓵 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓭𝓲𝓰𝓲𝓽𝓪𝓵 𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮 2006
Founded by Boe Pedersen (Dj BadboE) in Denmark, and now based in Florida. The label originates from the music website Breakbeat Paradise that has been running since 1996. Breakbeat Paradise is dedicated to breakers and electronic musicians within the style of music that we can loosely term as breakbeat. Developing and improving this website over the last 10 years to include everything from visitor music sharing, annual breakbeat contests, samplekits and discussion forum. We felt that going into digital music distribution would be a natural next step.

The music material on the Breakbeat Paradise website has over 1000 pieces of music. Breakbeat Paradise Recordings will  pick up the very best  “cream of the crop”, artists  and tunes and release them as digital downloads through Breakbeat Paradise Recordings  collaborative partners . We found digital distribution would match perfect with our cutting-edge funky breakbeat music and the fastest way from  the streets – to the listener and dancefloor!

With only exclusive vinyl and digital releases , we are always focused on the most important thing for us – the music! 

The music will span from traditional nu funk and funky breaks to more dancefloor oriented ghetto funk,  future funk and big beat as well as hip hop with a glitch and the more mellow side of the drum ‘n’ bass and nu breaks. The sound of Breakbeat Paradise is driven by an emphatic beat that is intended to form a leitmotif between the releases.

Even though releases from Breakbeat Paradise will be coming from different artists, we always uniform a sound by focusing within the genres of breakbeat.  Collaborators and musicians work close together on our label and we are always ensuring a brand of selective “state of the art“, quality and sound .

We will devote ourselves to deliver the phattest, funkiest and the biggest grooves to be found out there...
