From Remastered & Reissued by THE CAPTAIN on Goodgroove Records

Review:
Italian funk fiddler The Captain knows his way around a dusty old seven inch, and more importantly, how to one make into contemporary dancefloor dynamite. This long player is a compilation of some of his finest work, featuring eight cuts of serious party breaks. Highlights include the tough rolling swagger of Patti Drew's version of Otis Redding's "Hard To Handle", the breaky, electro-swing of "Shake It", the intense clap-along of "Alright Bossa" and the smile inducing Freddie Mercury goes breaky hip-house joys of "Another One Dusty Bossa".

‘Do You Realize’ is the question which Mr. Confuse asks on this album and it comes as a massive plea for the power of funk. ‘Do You Realize’ is about being true to the groove, carries strong lyrical statements while touching political matters as well as social issues in its clever and heartfelt lyrics but is first and foremost, of course, about being real.

On ‘Do You Realize’ Mr. Confuse picks up on the distinctive, organic and powerful sound he introduced on ‘Feel The Fire’ and takes it a step further. ‘Do You Realize’ tells a story from the beginning to the end: ‘We Gonna Bring The Funk To You’ with featured singer and main vocalist Dan Salem allows no second thoughts as a perfect opener and leads into ‘Catch Me’, the first single release. In a total of 13 tracks and with full-on party tunes like ‘Never Let The Rhythm Go’ and ‘Let’s Get The Feeling’ the album keeps a steady pace. The second single releases ‘Too Hot’ and the conscious and soulful ‘Why Can’t You See Me’ carries ‘Do You Realize’ to the perfect ending with the moving soul ballad ‘Cool Smooth Waters’ introducing the mighty soul voice of Mrs Elaine Thomas. 

It would not be a true Mr. Confuse album if it would not pay tribute to a musical pioneer. With his versions of ‘Boogie Down (Bronx)’ (with the voice of well know German Reggae artist Benjie) and ‘Man Made’ (featuring Dan Salem) Mr. Confuse pays tribute to Man Parrish as one of the innovators who translated Funk and Boogie into the HipHop-Era of early Electro and Freestyle. ‘Do You Realize’ comes as an apt title then.

Accompanying the album there will be a colourful bunch of remixes released in various formats. Well known British producers like Lack Of Afro (Freestyle Records), Newcastle's own Smoove (Jalapeno Records), up and coming producer Daytoner (Wass Records), among the excellent bossa breaks remix production of Dr Rubberfunk (Jalapeno Records) and an exciting remix on the jazzy tip by Tom Eno (Jack To Phono Records) are representing the UK remixer scene. The album also features contributions by Hungary's finest producer team The Uptown Felaz (Shiftin' Gears Records), Poland's Przaśnik (Funky Mamas And Papas Recordings) and Germany's block-rocking Ghetto Funk producers Funkanomics (Big M Productions) together with well known German Electro Funk expert Funkmaster Ozone (Da Source Records) and fresh new faces like Salem & Bastino - not to forget Afternoons In Stereo (Timewarp Music) from Toronto/Canada and a rare appearance of Dublex Inc (INFRACom!).

With ‘Do You Realize” Mr. Confuse is not only expanding his trademark sound but the album also introduces him as a musical director with an open ear for the bigger picture. With up to 23 international musicians he created incredible sounding big arrangements you would rather expect from the good times of big studios from the 60s and 70s. Here is a producer who not only reveals a deep understanding of the rhythms ranging from Afro to Soul and from classic R&B to HipHop, but who also has a vision of translating history into the future. ‘Do You Realize’? Indeed we do!

It also can be heard on the Goodgroove Regrooved Series IX and the breakdance compilation "Battle of the year - Soundtrack 2009".

Big Sam´s Funky Nation - Funkey Donkey (Jayl Funk Edit)

Jayl Funk is here with us for like 15 years now.... so, we could hardly be more happy and proud to announce his new 4-track EP Shake and Boogie to follow up after his Toxic Funk Vol. 13 - 7" wax which sold out after just a few month from release. Jayl Funk has been working with nearly all the independent labels that matter in the nu-funk music scene, once again the German funk mogul is back to our label!


Raising up the pace and tempo on Shake and Boogie, Jayl Funk delivers 4 super boogie-delic songs filled with rich action at the brass section and happy sing-along alike female vocal riffs. The titles, "Shake and Boogie" and "Not Today" describe the best what you're about to get with your copy of this EP: eternal funk that never goes out of style.


Feel The Rhythm follow in the same footsteps of timeless boogie funk with some big catchy brass horns and some more sweet vocals. Time to Roll however takes it down a notch and applies some silky-smooth grooves to go with really catchy rap flows to end of the ep in style like only our man Jayl Funk can do.

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings – consistent and always reliable to delivering you the funkiest beat and breaks out there. Look out for more coming soon…

BUY = Follow for DL. Support the original band & DJ Blue Funk :) 

I've been really enjoying this group lately as they have a nice afro-funk feel to their wide variety of covers & originals. This tune is something near and dear to my heart as one of the first funk pieces I heard & loved, and I think they did a fabulous job covering it! I love breaks, so I chopped the tune up a little & gave those drums some extra shine. Go give them a like over at https://soundcloud.com/funkallisto. cheers!
