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! 

Listen to: VA.lnk.to/TwoDecadesofFunkFire

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Next up on the Guest-mix is the mighty Gramophone Soul @gramsoul

Steve Gramophone will be bringing the pure party vibes with his mix. A 100% Chance you will be on your feet by the end of it! 

Gramophone Soul is renowned for producing funky, soulful, old school rhythms to get the masses grooving and the arses moving. He spends evenings bathing in the light of Aretha Franklin and washing his worries away with Chuck D. Plugging away at music whilst sipping Old Commissioner Scotch, he’s managed to capture the heart and soul of these artists and genres in his style.

This resulted in a whopping library of absolute bangers. In turn he has gained support from some of the music industry's heavy weights. Taste makers such as Krafty Kuts & Craig Charles have been rinsing his riddims resulting in numerous tracks being pumped on the BBC airwaves.

Safe & Sound Guest Mix - Gramophone Soul

This one’s a subtle blend. Chilled funk, quirky mashups, a few brass sections, breaks and basslines thrown in for good measure. It's sultry, silly and god damn seductive. Enjoy!

Mr No Hands says: "Not sure where to start, I decided to get really drunk and plough through the blogs until I found something sultry, silly and so god damn seductive that everything else could revolve around it.

I don't remember what that track even was, nor much else about that evening, but it didn’t matter. After hours of searching high and down-right-low for frequencies that resonated with me in my drunken stupor, I somehow managed to curate a vibey set of licks.

Like Lady Tigra and Bunny D, you know I like the boom. But this one’s a subtle blend, yes it is. There’s something about these songs. Simple. Lovely. Things. Especially at 4am. I hope they resonate with you too. 

Stay safe :)"

STFFMX024: Mr No Hands - Zero Funks Given [Mixtape]

I've been sitting on a bunch of unfinished, lost and dead end sessions for awhile and thought a mix might be a good way to move on from them ...

The Shorty Sessions Mixtape | Vol.1

Civillian is back with another strictly Hip Hop mix meant for the heads. While the familiar aromas of classic & golden raps arrive from the outset - the deeper flavour profile is comprised of b-sides, forgotten cuts, dope remixes & a few nods to some newer cats who have a flare for the old school. All this precisely blended between two tech 1200's and poured over ice for your listening pleasure.

Tracklist:
Digable Planets - Where I'm From
A Tribe Called Quest - Can I Kick it? (J. Cole Remix)
Guru & Donald Byrd - Loungin'
MC Lyte - Want What I Got (Ft. Missy Elliott & Mocha) (Civillian DJ Edit)
Mystikal - Smashing the Gas (Get Faster)
Das EFX - Rap Scholar (Ft. Redman)(DJ Friction Remix)(Civillian DJ Edit)
Funkdoobiest - XXX Funk
MC Lyte - Put it on You (Civillian DJ Edit)
Main Source - Down Low (Civillian DJ Edit)
Brand Nubian - Word is Bond (Civillian DJ Edit)
Maestro Fresh Wes - Certs Wid Out Da Retsyn
Bahamadia - Uknowhowwedo
Coops - Pass da Weed
Cypress Hill - Hits From The Bong
Kid Abstrakt & Emapea - Late Night Vibe
Verb T - Where You Find Me
The Dopplegangaz - Like So
Lord Finesse - Here I Come (Large Professor Remix)
Jay-Z - Dead Presidents ll
CoryaYo - 1995
People Under The Stairs - Carried Away
