A new Facebook page has arisen here in Perth celebrating the wondrous rave scene that Perth has had from the late 80's onwards. A lot of photos, music and stories have been shared on this page bringing back memories and pictures of people i used to rave with in the very early 1990's. For the life of me i can remember the peoples faces but not all of their names.

This Rave & Club Classics Mix has come about because of this new Facebook page and the music, people, DJs (Local and international) and events that took place and the major influence they had on me in my late teens and onwards. Pretty much all of the tracks in the mix were played around the time i was raving and clubbing. It was the time of no social media (thank god) and more of a community of people who enjoyed going out to all hours of the morning, dancing the night away with rave buddies and friends.

Breakbeat Paradise Recording is back with the fifth installment of the epic Toxic Funk – 7” donut series. 
For the next 45 we have called upon Crash Party (one half of Hardly Subtle with Aldo Vanucci) to sprinkle his production magic over 2 funked up, sample led tracks to get any dancefloor moving! 

Crash Party dropped his debut EP on the legendary Ghetto Funk label, with follow up EPs on Scour Records and Cuttin’ It Fine Recordings. He’s remixed tracks on the U.S. based labels Dead2Me and Roaring City. 
Crash Party’s crowning glory, to date, was collaborating with Dutty Moonshine Big Band on the #metoo alternative anthem “Fever”, from their top 40 album “City Of Sin”

We are chuffed to have Crash Party #crashtheparty with these 2 slices of breakbeat funk to get heads nodding and feet tapping.
Following up on Second Hand Audio’s Vol. 4 release in the series, you are in store for some skilled sample selections, some classic funky breaks and a perfectly timed Hip-Hop vocals.

The lead track, Dirty Glass, sees the combination of “One Way Glass” with “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” blended together with extra beats and grooves for dancefloor flavour... 
A modern-day classic in the making!  
On the flip side we go deeper into the world of funk with World Gone Def, a skilled re-editing of “People Make The World Go Round” as the main music accompaniment to the vocals of Hip-Hop anthem “Release Yo Delf”. Add to this extra funky beats, vocal samples and a smidge of rock guitar sampling for good measure!        

As the electronic funk scene changes and adapts, some things remain best untouched. The sample-based beats and grooves is here to stay and the sound of the Old Skool is still as fresh as it comes.
  
Once again Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is on point to deliver you the funkiest soul and breaks available anywhere out there…

Review
As always with Big Fat Mama Beats, they have come to put on a show with this latest addition to their 'Funk Bananas' compilation series, which enters its fourth edition with a dash of finesse. The combination of psychedelic melodies and groovy drum designs that lie at the heart of every track are what give the project a fantastic level of cohesion, from the uplifting horn toots and lively vocals of Pecoe's 'Funky Individual' to the more old school drum patterns and spacey textures of Rory Hoy & Countertop Hero's 'Something In The Air'. The whole project hosts a pretty professional vibe, with the likes of Sir-Vere, The Funk Philosopher, Sonale, The Criminal Minds and more all making wavy additions. Our favourites from the project have to include the monstrous bass pulsations and techy arpeggios of B.U.U.G's 'Dancin Time', next to the Chubby Robots rework of 'Space Time' from Adrenalinez and Wiccatron's lively percussive masterclass in 'Funk Dribble.

FUNK BANANAS VOL 4 ★ OUT NOW ★ MisterRich-Minimix [BFMB031]

Breakbeat Paradise Recording is back with another
crispy edition of the Toxic Funk 7-inch donut series. This
time inviting the Funkin’ Basstards producer duo to do their magic and bring some Toxic Funk vibes with 2 authentic funk joints regooved to perfection by 2 of scene’s best beat smiths.
The Toxic Funk series is tabbing into a craze of recycled old funk and soul and do edits that stays true to the vibes of the 60s and 70s but still has enough punch to put into a modern day funky DJ set. Funkin Basstards has followed that recipe to perfection on both jams on this single.

Starting off with the contagious A-Side track called Fire – which showcases a classic soul party vibe track mixed with some Funkin Basstards breakbeats to keep it toxic. Followed up with the equally party rockin’ soul joint Reasons which takes us back to the 60s soul era with some sweet soul sister vocals and a good doze of Funkin Basstards beats and breaks to go with it.

With 2 EP release and a remix EP under their belt on BBP we felt it was about time to get these boys on a vinyl – and boy are we glad we did!
Once again Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is on point to deliver you the funkiest soul and breaks available anywhere out there...
