GPR010 / TOM SHOWTIME / UNIVERSAL FUNK EP feat D’Fro

“Tom Showtime follows up his acclaimed debut LP ‘The Jam Thief’ with ‘Universal Funk EP’, a original ‘Boombap Jazz’ odyssey featuring D’Fro (The Psyde Projects). Showcasing his passion for both trip hop and funk, this release sounds like a cut from the golden era of hip hop with clever sampling, warm bass lines and witty raps. With guest appearances by N’Fa Jones (1200 Techniques) and Mose (The FMLY) on the single Soul Alchemy plus world class remixes from Lotek (UK), DJ Maars, Billy Hoyle and fellow Groove Penguin Records artist SKOMES, it truly shows that the funk is universal…”

Some notes on the mix:

I was introduced to Bowie as a kid, thanks to my Dad playing and singing his music all the time at home. He absolutely loves Bowie and we both shed a tear the day he died! I’m really, really grateful to my Dad for instilling his music into me early on, because I doubt I would have quite such profound love for it without the early introduction.

The tracks in the mix are the tracks I know and love, and probably the ones most people are familiar with - mainly the ‘hits’, I guess. While working on the mix I started to delve further into the Bowie back catalogue and have found some absolute gems. I was tempted to include them and lean the mix more toward his unknown stuff but I wanted it to reflect my own personal Bowie experience up to now and wasn’t too fussed about appearing to have a vast knowledge of his work, because in reality I’ve only scratched the surface, so far. 

It wasn’t hard to choose the tracks I wanted to include, but working out how to present them as a mixtape took some thought. I haven’t spent as long at the ‘drawing board’ stage of a mix before. It was clearly going to be quite different from one of my party mixtapes - the pace had to be slower (you can’t cut off a Bowie track after a minute as they are too epic/well known and often tell stories which need to be played out), I couldn’t add beats/acapellas as it would be sacrilege and sound bad, I couldn’t do too much mixing as it just wouldn’t work with a lot of the music - and so I decided to approach it as a documentary-style mix, using speech samples from interviews to add some extra layers and help bridge some of the tracks which changed style or tempo too dramatically to blend or drop. I also wanted to try and get some humour in somewhere, and luckily found a lot of gold from people imitating Bowie in different shows. 

I knew I had to put a turntablist/hip hop kind of stamp on this somehow, to reflect my DJ style and personlise the mixtape. I worked turntablism in by making a cut and paste intro and throwing in the odd scratch when dropping samples. Generally the whole thing was treated quite delicately so as to honour the memory of the freaky old bastard as best I could.

So yeah, that’s how it turned out! 

Enjoy :)

475 ft. Loanwolf - Slow & Jaded

Nice To Meet You

Malpractice was raised in Melbourne on a strict diet of old soul, 1980s pop, rock, hip-hop and Michael Jackson. He could moonwalk before he could moon crawl. 

He once even support a guy who support Eminem so that makes him and Slim Shady basically besties. Mal’s unique style of Mashing up party tunes, rock, pop, hip hop, house, punk, funk and random junk delivers a vibration that could only be described good.
