Here's what Flea Market Funk website from NYC had to say about the release - 

The Big Drum Beater is back with another adrenaline-filled project aptly named the 45s EP. A veteran of this record game, a leader of the 45 RPM revolution from the beginning, the Bristol, UK native has made quite a name for himself slinging the little records with big holes all over the world. Whether it's making people jump up in the UK or blazing stages across the States or Europe, you can not recognize Boca's sound. And that sound is the drum. Building classic bangers around the many sounds of drums and percussion throughout his years, whether it be for a live set, television or film soundtrack, or his own vinyl record donut releases, he's consistent and on point. Always collaborating with the who's who and who you should know of the industry, he's back like Jordan with the 45 jersey.

Starting off with a collaboration with two of the best, Brooklyn's own Emskee and Burnley's first son DJ Woody, the title track "45s" is a break down of all things 7". It's 45 RPM vinyl record culture to the very core. With Emskee waxing poetic over a Boca big drum beat(er), the one and only DJ Woody flexes. A treacherous three start this EP off hard. "Ringo's Lesson" continues the big beat onslaught with everyone's favorite or least favorite drummer (depending on who you ask). It's a drum lesson that perhaps some may take note of. It's all peace and love though, and it knocks hard. Boca is always a champion for the breaks (hence the big drums), "Chew Valley Breaks" is a guitar-laden B-Boy/B-Girl, up rocking jam that will be hitting a breakdance competition any minute now. Of course, Boca throws in some instrumentals, acapella, and a dope remix of "45s" for the DJ to use in their arsenal. They all knock different. It's even more drums, so neck snapping is inevitable. The man lives and breathes forty-fives. Unmistakable and guaranteed to rock the spot, 45s picks up where Donuts left off, proving the cream (or icing) always rises to the top. Available on the Boca 45 bandcamp for pre-order on May 7th.

DONUT VERSION EXCURSION 2MIN TEASER

Back In 2018 I was DJ’ing in Liverpool as part of the annual ‘Sound City’ festival. After my set, a group of enthusiastic people approached me and congratulated me and wondered if I’d heard of Cavendish Music, as that’s who they work for. Being a bit of a record digger, I of course knew of the amazing Cavendish Series, from the late 60’s to the early 70’s, as well as the Boosey & Hawkes albums.
One of the cavendish crew, passed me his card and said to get in touch if I was ever around the Kings Cross region of London, to have a hunt into their vaults and see if anything came to fruition
So that’s what I did!
Ever since, my recent projects (Forty Five LP, 2020 Donuts LP & Figure Of Speech LP) have all contained Cavendish/Boosey samples, and the Cavendish team have been a joy to work with.
Consequently, I wanted to create a tribute by making a full record of material using the incredible vintage sound sources from their library of music, whilst putting my Boca 45 spin onto them from my studio in Boogie Down Bristol.
I hope that you enjoy the sonic results here.
With kind regards

Boca 45 Digs Cavendish

BOCA 45 DIGS CAVENDISH 2 MIN TEASER

In the 70s and 80s Ivory Coast’s capital Abidjan was a major musical hub in West Africa. After a series of political crises, Abidjan is back. The Zouglou sound of the 1990s and the coupé decalé rage that followed are being reinvented in the era of Afrobeats and African hip-hop. The group Magic System is now invited to play major events in France—including President Macron’s election victory party! The group’s front man Asalfo has launched an annual music festival in Abidjan, FEMUA. On this program, we attend the festival and hear the sounds and stories of Abidjan’s cultural and commercial renaissance. Produced by Elodie Maillot and Alejandro Van Zandt-Escobar.

Blunted Instruments

Boca 45 is known as somewhat of a Bristol (UK) institution from his early days in the mid 90s selling Golden Era Hip Hop from behind the counter of the seminal Purple Penguin record shop rapidly becoming one of Bristol’s most in demand DJs for a quick fire mix of bone-cracking breaks, hip hop, coruscating funk, rock and heavy soul these are all of the musical ingredients which make up Forty Five.
Once Scott Boca got to grips with the studio from the early 00’s he’s had continuous releases, remixes, DJ mixes on labels such as Island/Universal, Domino Recordings, Ninja Tunes, Grand Central, Illicit, Jalapeno, Unique & more under a slew of aliases.
At the advent of Scott Boca’s 45th year on planet Earth he decided to hone everything he’s learnt and loved into one killer solo record.
When making Forty Five, Boca pulled together friends, family and footie mates to make a record that would deserving stand as his musical autobiography - that cast list included his Bryan Munich teammates (Geoff Barrow and Billy Fuller from Beak, Ben Salisbury), Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno, NYC MC Emskee, New Zealander soul singer Louis Baker and Malachai bandmate Gee.
Forty Five is Scott Bocas life story in twelve cuts; the soundtrack to an immersion in sound, it’s an honest personal statement. His Twin teenage Sons designed the Forty Five Logo, Boca wrote the comprehensive sleeve notes personally breaking down the back ground of each track as well as making the inner collage using images from all of the collaborators on the LP.
The first people to hear the record outside of a close circle of friends was titanic U.S. record label Mass Appeal (home to DJ Shadow, Nas, Run the Jewels and the J Dilla catalogue).
They immediately offered and signed the record in a worldwide deal.
Previously Scott Boca provided a track for the Banksy Movie “Exit Through The Gift Shop” & in 2015 the elusive artist personally requested Boca to DJ with his 45s at the opening night at his Dismal Land Show.
2018 saw Boca release Bocas Club Donuts - a series of five highly covetable, DJ Friendly iron banger 7’’ singles which each sold out within a matter of hours to a rabid set of collectors via only announcements via his own social media channels.
Now on to 2019 Boca is ready to hit the clubs and world wide festivals armed with a heaving box of Vinyl Wax to spread the good word of Forty Five to whip crowds into a frenzy with his crazy collection of hot 7'' donut Forty Fives.
