Releases

BBC Radio 6 Music Interview with label boss Trevor McNamee and label artist Izo FitzRoy on The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show. Featuring a 'Jalapeno Trunk of Funk' DJ Mix by The Allergies. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're celebrating our 20th Anniversary! We've highlighted 20 tracks to give you a taste of the heat we’ve had the privilege to release over the years!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000 was the year. 

The start of a new millennium was the time to settle down to the serious business of THE FUNK and Jalapeno Records was brought to life by Elliot Ireland and Alex Rizzo better known as Skeewiff. Their quirky and exotic take on funky breaks gave Jalapeno its special flavour and attracted killer talent like the Dutch masters Kraak & Smaak. I took over running the label a couple of years after its birth and have been proud to build on what they started ever since.

Jalapeno is a label that supports artists. 

Many of our long-term acts do much of their own A&R and have the final say on exactly what they release. It’s been a formula that works. Skeewiff released 3 albums with us, ephemerals released 4 albums, The Allergies have released 4 albums, Kraak & Smaak released 5 albums and Smoove & Turrell have just dropped their 6th album (our first official UK chart Number 1). Alongside those we have had incredible albums from (deep breath...) Alexia Coley, Izo FitzRoy, Gizelle Smith, Dr Rubberfunk, Flevans, Basement Freaks, Soopasoul, Aldo Vanucci, Featurecast, Radio Trip, Quasamodo and Max Sedgley as well as numerous singles.

I’m exceptionally proud that many of these acts have chosen to stay with Jalapeno Records for such long periods of their careers. 

The evolution of the label from sample based high jinks to full band studio recordings and touring bands has been an exciting one. That’s not to say we don’t still love a dancefloor rocker made by a DJ / Producer, but there is something special about releasing and publishing great original music. You know things are going right on that front when your catalogue is sampled for a massive dance hit or selected for an iconic sync placement.

In our 20th year we are still experiencing new highs and getting excited about new music all the time. 

So to all the artists who have made the label what it is, the great people on the Jalapeno Team and the fans who have supported the label, by buying records or streaming or coming to gigs - it’s a massive cheers from me.

Trevor McNamee – Owner – Jalapeno Records.

Junodownload Review:
Timewarp Music regular Zamali impresses greatly with this seven-track release. The unhurried, atmospheric 'Ashanti's Groove' paves the way for what is undoubtedly the collection's standout track, the superbly low-slung and hypnotic 'Funky Friday', after which you get four dreamy, mostly instrumental workouts that blend funk, hip-hop and jazz influences with hints of world music before the excellent 'Video Control' plays us out in fine funk style with its Hammond parps, wukka-wukking geetars and what may or may not be sound snips from a Bob Marley interview. Sadly, as Timewarp's not a big corporate label with a huge marketing budget, 'True Blue' probably won't get half the attention it deserves - so do yourself a favour and become one of the lucky few that are in the know!

Zamali - True Blue will be available on November 29, 2024 as a digital download and special edition CDR at timewarpstore and all digital music retailers and streaming services worldwide.

THE COLLECTION
Regrooved / Re-Cut / Re-Waxed / Re-Edited / Re-Constructed / Re-Produced / Re-Jigged / Re-Vibed by The Disco Police
Selected by the Architect of the Good Groove

The reliable disco funksters are having fun nodding to that iconic bit of 70s underground disco dance in these deadly versions.
If you like your disco house fierce and fiery but still delivered with finesse, this record is all you need. 
As this project was painstakingly formed the groove never quits and keeps on pulling you in as the arrangement evolves and a steamy moods build. 

This two dirty dozen tracker of utter bangers comes to us with all the style of a low key NYC acetate found in a thrift store,
driving and upbeat dancefloor disco pumpers with these grandiose chunk of delightfully over-the-top discoid hi-jinks
Rhythm over theme; keeping things vibey, felt - heavy disco-funk brilliance rearranged for maximum peak-time

X-Ray Ted - Mirror Ballin' EP

X-Ray Ted continues to show why he is rising so fast, with each release building on his talent for delivering knockout grooves. This could quite possibly be his strongest release to date with Bombstrikes. 'Mirror Ballin' kicks things off on a disco groove with driving beats pushing the bass along seamlessly that cements this tracks place as dance floor gold. Next up, 'Get Into It' slows the pace down a little but still delivers just as much punch with funk hooks and clever vocal work. Rounding the pack off nicely is 'Never Gonna Let 'Em Say' with its breakbeats, guitar hooks and deep bass drops to ensure that the track hits where it is supposed to.

We love this EP and cannot wait to hear more from the Bristol based producer.

X-Ray Ted - Never Gonna Let 'Em Say

Welcome to these weeks live podcast! This weeks a seriously fresh one! 

Roast Beatz & Cuttin' It Fine were very happy to take part in the second instalment of Power Raiders. 
Power Raiders is an all day DJ event where over 14 DJ's perform on Twitch for 1/2 hour, then raid the next DJ. 
Raiding is a feature on Twitch where you can send all your viewers to another streamer, meaning it was a continuous stream of music. This went on from 11am to 12:30am. That's over 12 hours of live DJ's! It featured the talents of: 

Roast Beatz
Ze Funkin’ English
HKPP
Mr Fitz
Towlie DJ
Crash Party
B-Side
Candyman				
Bubaking
The Allergies
JFB
Father Funk
DJ Detta
Danny Wav

It was an amazing day with a great turn out. We kicked off proceedings with an hour set before heading to the beach. You can listen to the live recording now!! Catch you next week. x

Cuttin' It Fine Radio Show 11

Founded in 2004, the simple principal was delivering the funk with engaging music that always rocks the dance floors, regardless of genre. Started by two of the label's key artists, Mooqee & Beatvandals, each release had to be a bomb! This ethos continued throughout the initial vinyl based volume series and as the label evolved alongside the changing digital landscape, helping to develop a global funk and mid tempo scene along the way.

It's crazy to think how much the label has grown and now works with artists and partners from around the globe. Alongside individual artist releases Bombstrike is also home to the much loved Funk n' Beats, Disco Funkin' and Bass Funk compilation series, with guest curators helping the listener discover new music or unearth forgotten classics.

 

We continue to push things forward with everything we do, whether it is releases, festival stages or club nights....We always do it with our same founding ideals and will continue to do what we do best. Watch this space.

I'm very rarely here these days, if you want to contact me, there's an email address below x
