Skeewiff - Blue Crystal (Instrumental) ***FREE DL***

We have always been massive fans of Shirley Ellis, so this cover was a no brainer. Although we recorded it in 2001 under the name "Da Muttz", it wasn’t until subsequent mixes in 2003 that this track made it out onto vinyl to become one of our best selling EPs to date. 

& of course.. Big kisses, hugs and thank-yous to the original & perennial skee-girl, the wonderful Charlise Rookwood! (who has just this morning joined the cloud!! go follow https://soundcloud.com/charlise-rookwood)

Skeewiff feat Charlise Rookwood - Nitty Gritty [Remaster]

Born from a love of Big Band, 60s Psychedelics and Breaks. What more can be said? The... Spider!!

& a big bear hug to the one and only, utterly delectable Tiu de Haan who graces this track with her exotic saucy jazz scats and animal noises.. rrrrraawl

is it only me that finds "saucy jazz scat" a bit fnar? ;)

Skeewiff feat Tiu De Haan - The Spider [Remaster]

Pre-wobble wobble. Always loved a bit of wah wah action. This track featured on the Hollywood movie "fired UP!" & even made its way onto a Volkswagen Polo Commercial in 2008 (the infamous tree falling on car ad)

Original Mix Date: 22/09/2005
Original Released Date: 20/02/2006
New Mix Date: 02/09/2013

This latest mix was re-mixed from scratch from the original stems. + I Cleaned up the rather wonky drum break that was originally used, as it was a little flappy.

Skeewiff  - Little Spot Of Soul [Remaster]

A fusion of all our musical loves.. A bit of Breaks, bit of hip hop, some lounge, a little bit of soul and of course a little sprinkling of silly. This track was originally written for konami's "Beatmania" - the original PlayStation DJ simulation game.  We mixed a lot of the other tracks on that game for Konami too.. Regardless.. we were totally rubbish at the game. How does that work?

This track also made it onto another playstation game (SSX) a Kelloggs commercial and a Hollywood movie (although I forget which one)

Skeewiff - Shake What Ya Mama Gave Ya [Remaster]

Originally a hit for the Sandpebbles in 1967, it wasn't until we heard Dusty Springfield's cover of it on wefunk radio that we were inspired us to revisit this feel-good soulful breakbeat monster. Big thanks to the http://wefunkradio.com crew for years of inspiration.. and to Dusty of course.. for such a wonderful tune in the first place :)

Skeewiff feat Charlise Rookwood - Love Power [Remaster]

We first did an edit of the original Quincy Jones Soul Bossanova to play at Nick Hollywood's "Club Montepulciano" club night. The reaction was so strong - we simply had to do a cover of our own. Definitely the largest production we had done back then, with a brass section, numerous vocalists and percussionists. 

This version is a completely brand new (analog) mix made from the original stems. The piano track (which was originally a plug in) has been replaced with a shiny new (real) Grand Piano. :D

Elliot Ireland - Roller-man //NZ Olympic team track ***FREE DL****

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings presents JiggyJoe with his EP named ‘Shake It’.The ‘Shake It’ EP combines JiggyJoes unique mix of rare grooves, old school hip hop, ghetto funk, breakbeat and dubstep along with some latin, arabian style and 90s synth flavors.

The title tune is produced with a true legend in the Funky Breaks scene: Skeewiff, who is known and loved for his breakbeat contributions – dating all the way back to the bigbeat era. Skeewiff has released a number of albums on Jalapeno Records as well as his own Pedigree Cuts and we are proud to now have him feature on BBP release. Another legend features on a remix for this EP – Ursula 1000 from New York is throwing down some bangin’ beats on his version of the Shake It track. Finally the B-side features countryman Jazz.K.lipa in the co-pilot chair on the Welcome track.

JiggyJoe has been a DJ for 13 years playing various styles of music and has played in various parts of the world including his homeland Germany, the UK, Spain, USA, Russia, Canada and many more. With guests on this EP including ‘Claire G Phunk & Rayna MC’ who were featured on BadboEs ‘Pump up the Funk’ album from 2012 and newcomer ‘Tatted up Toon’ this promises to be an EP worth waiting for. 


Shake It EP is the very first JiggyJoe’s artist EP to come out on vinyl and it’s also the first glance of what to expect of JiggyJoe’s full length album called Get Jiggy!, which is set to be released over the summer – right here on BBP.   

Shake it EP (Now Available On Wax)

The magnificent http://soundcloud.com/deadhorsebeats challenged skeewiff to a musical duel.  "Perhaps we should both flip this track from the Soul stirrers?"

No-one calls me chicken.. :) So we did! 

Both tracks turned out pretty awesome. Glad we did. Check out Deadhorsebeats' flip on the attached video. He actually put it all together in an american diner whilst on the road! You can smell the grease :) Awesome.
