Ayy father funk vs flight of the conchords.. ace

08.2019 dynamic

"They've really come up trumps with this EP. A return to slamming funky breaks...and I love 'em for that" Craig Charles (BBC 6music)

We’re pleased as punch to welcome The Allergies into the Goodgroove family. To mark the occasion the two-man crew of Solid Steel legend DJ Moneyshot and Chai Wallah stalwart Rackabeat have put together the barn-storming new EP, Calling The Shots.

It leads off with dance floor bomb, Special People – A cut that’s pure b-boy dynamite and sure to rival their chart-topper, Heartbreaker, as another peak-time classic. The rest of the four-tacker takes in Jurassic 5-style hip-hop jams (React), uptempo soul stompers (As We Do Our Thing), and boombastic blues rock (Feel Alright), and features rappers Skunkadelic and Figure of Speech, as well brass from the KPS Horns and licks from guitar legend, John Fairhurst.

Sydney, Australia’s Omegaman is back at it again, this time with a bangin’ Remix EP of his recent release on Fort Knox Recordings, the Hot Sauce EP.  A longtime producer, collaborator and remixer, Omegaman has already left a mark on the international funk and breaks scene.  Building from a very strong original release, Omegaman enlisted the production talents of some of his closest friends around the world, and the result is a funky slice of the tropics dished up for the dance floor massive.
 
Washington, DC’s kings of Tropicaliente, the Empresarios are featured on Oye Como Suena and the Skeewiff Remix ignites the vibe into an irresistible salsa breaks banger.
The funk hits the fan with the Fort Knox Five Remix of Lovers Skank featuring Patou, pure electro-ska with some groovy bass lines.  The hi-hats and percussion are crisp on Qdup’s Remix of A Bailar featuring Vincent Sebastian, another slice of electro Latin funk for the dance floor.  Rounding out the EP are the big beats and reggae skanks of DJ Maars’ Remix of Follow Me, and Mustafa Akbar’s vocals fit perfectly with the funky dancehall soul sound.
 
Blending together various rhythms from Latin, reggae, ska and funk has become Omegaman’s calling card, and he has pulled it off once again.  Building on the strength of the original release, the Hot Sauce EP takes it to the next level with hard hitting bass, electro, breaks and big beat designed to make people dance. 
 
Fort Knox Recordings is the renegade funk ‘n soul label from Washington, DC.  Established in 2003, our mission is to explore the funkier side of global music.  Fort Knox is set to ‘Tell it like it is’ by smashing the artificial barriers established by the 'System' that keeps all good music down. Forget about tempos and genres - we want to take you back to the roots and unite all music from our funk, dub, & soul; brothas & sistas - you dig? So stop being so serious, this is music, it's supposed to be fun.

Bootlegs & B-Sides #35

Sonale x Crash Party - Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster
Big Beat Sundays: BBS007

Big Beat Sundays is back with their first track of the year and this one is a Big Beat Party starter from start to finish. “Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster” sees the producers Sonale and Crash Party combine their talents to mould this Big Beat belter.
Big beats, horn stabs, Looped vocals, phat bass and cheeky synthesis - All the ingredients for any Big Beat era tune.
With a title such as “Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster” it would be remiss for this release not to pay further homage to one of the god fathers of Big Beat, by asking the man himself, Freddy Fresh, to remix it. Freddy turns in a slower based bass thumping, latin twisted remix for the connoisseurs out there and we are chuffed to bits with it!
Funky breaks and sample wizard Lebrosk turns in a tasty cut ’n’ paste inspired remix, giving the tracks a lick of his own tasty production style. Finally, to round out the release, there is a Big Beat Sundays remix, tapping into a love of the likes of Mighty Dub Katz and Basement Jaxx to deliver a 4x4 pounder designed for the dance floor.

Get on this one before its all eaten up!

Tracklist and D/L - https://senorpeludo.bandcamp.com/track/remix-adventure-for-sunken-disco-jan-2016

This is the studio version of a live set I played at January's Sunken Disco - a night of underground electronic music that I run with my homies DJ BlackEye and Click Click Drone. Check out the night on www.facebook.com/SunkenDisco

The set went down a treat so I decided to do a home recording. This was also shortly after David Bowie passed away, which is why he features a few times.

Remix Adventure for Sunken Disco

We are now three weeks away from my first solo album release since 2004. Northern Sulphuric Soulboy will be here at the end of Sept 2016. This track here is from my last solo album released on Grand Central Records. My next album comes with a book and 10". I hope the digital crew will come and support when the new one drops on physical. Look out for my Bandcamp page and if you are a Londoner you can pick the book /lp up at The Tate Modern.
