"I'm Feelin Zooted, Batteries Included...."  
Super freaky and extra geeky, this New Skool Party Funk is a feel good dancefloor jam from the lowriding mind of J. Diamond-Ortiz.  Steeped in Westcoast culture, tradition and vibe, Diamond Ortiz's phat "funk bass", synths, clean guitars, bangin drums, and crisp vocoder will get you feelin Zooted too.

Reimagined with talkbox/vocoder lead vox,  g'd up synth bass, bangin drums, and that classic loc'ed out synth lead from the original, this joint is some stone cold funk... uncut.

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is thrilled to welcome home one of pioneer producers who helped shape the label since the very beginning. German-based nu funk producer Jayl Funk has team up with funk trio/live act from the UK called Tarzan Bros and together they have created a true funk anthem with original vocals and grooves that sounds like it was done back in the glory days of soul and funk. And the goodness doesn’t stop here, because on the remix duties we have some of the very best funk producers from around the world to do their take on these original samples. All the way from the US we got the legendary soldiers of nu funk: All Good Funk Alliance, and from the UK a specialist in breaks and funk Mr. Skeewiff. Finally Yamaha (The Strike Boys, Wall of Sound) and Eletrico (Trio Eletrico, Stereo Deluxe Records) delivers the final remix for this EP.

Most of the people involved on this EP need no introduction as they are already well-established names in the scene but we are very excited to be introducing the Tarzan Bros crew, who originates from Greece but now lives in the UK and delivers original vocals, funky guitar riffs as well as Sax on these tunes.
There is not denying the funky grooves on this record that seamlessly joins in live jazzy saxophones with beats and breaks from the nu funk master Jayl Funk.

Jayl Funk has gone and done it again and cooked up another wonderful funk tune that we are very happy to be releasing as it takes us back to how it all got started here on BBP with his first release dating back to 2008.

At BBP we are very please to finally release another Jayl Funk EP and once again represent our funk roots and party fucking jams for early warm-up sets as well as peak-time bangers… We are here to keep the funk alive…

"Diamond Ortiz is back with a fresh selection of original material, shining light on his masterful production, playing of instruments, singing and signature talkbox stylings. Drenched in G-funk synth bass and feel-good boogie vibes, sunshine synths and clean guitars, icy vocals and soulful talkboxes spitting game in harmony, Diamond is carrying the torch of his OG funk mentors into the future. Honed over many years on stages and in studios across the Bay Area and LA since youth, Diamond's grassroots DIY recordings are filled with flavor and feel, and the culture of the scenes he's grown up around.

From super sized slappers like "Poster Girl" and "Playeristic Tendencies", to the sweet saccharine gangster boogie of "1-900" and "Slow Mo", and the love filled duet "Next Level Lovin'" with label mate Moniquea, Diamond's deep understanding, versatility and command of the genre as a whole are clear.

Diamond Ortiz makes his mission clear on "Special Request" - spreading love and joy thru old school music and bringing people together through the funk."
