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!

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

Vinyl Sessions 001 (Funk, Soul & Hip Hop)

40 years ago saw the release of the first volume of major label pop compilations that quickly became a household name, and remain so to this day, 'Now That's What I Call Music!' 

As a kid in the 80s, these albums got a ton of plays from me & my family; at home, in the car, to the walkman soundtracking my walk (or run!) to/from school.

The first 9 volumes were on vinyl or tape only, appearing on CD from No.10 onwards. They were always cheaper than buying loads of singles anyway. We didn't have internet playlists back then. If you wanted to hear a variety of the latest big hits, there was the radio, mixtapes or compilations like Now. So this is an internet radio mixtape about a compilation. 

Now! was basically the UK successor to the K-Tel / Ronco / TOTP "as seen on TV" type comps & have seen off a bunch of rivals over the years, in terms of brand recognition. They are undisputedly the most successful pop compilation series of all time, across the world.

This is a mix of 50 tracks over 100 minutes, plucked from Vol's 1-10 (Nov 1983 - Nov  1987).
A random selection of feel-good mid-80's nostalgia - pop, soul and rock chart smashes.
Some would say guilty pleasures, but standardly I feel no guilt. 

This could have been a million hours long, so I set myself some selection rules...

Criteria:
- All tracks taken from UK releases of Vol.1 (28th Nov 1983) to Vol. 10 (23rd Nov 1987) only
- I haven't included any tracks featured on my previous Xennials 80's mixes
- Nothing from spin-off comps (Now Dance etc), or ones released later on
- No more than one track from each artist, whether solo or in a group
- No re-issues (lots of older tracks charted & were featured on these comps)
- I capped it at 50 tracks precisely for this mix, for brevity. There may need to be another…

Happy birthday Now!

The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance-floors and lighting up the radio airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016.
 
Year in, year out, they’ve sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio, dropping one dynamite record after another.
 
Clocking up A List status and Album of The Day gongs at BBC 6 Music, as well as sound tracking international ad campaigns, the pair show no sign of stopping the fun.
 
They’re about to cut the ribbon on their fifth album, Promised Land. Another showcase for their feel-good funk, soul sampling savvy, and party-starting hip-hop.
 
As usual, the Bristol-based beatmakers have assembled a crack team to help bring their loops to life. LA rap legend, Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling) is back on board, alongside the mighty pipes of Marietta Smith (House Gospel Choir) – Both staples of The Allergies live show act.

Plus, guest spots from some super special MCs from both sides of The Pond, and quite possibly the most explosive sample-heavy tracks of their career, so far.
 
Over the last year they found some light amongst the darkness, seeking out solace and release by making beautiful music, dug from old record stacks. And they can’t wait to get back on the road, letting everyone back into their world, once more.
 
The pair first bonded over this love of funky beats after meeting on the festival circuit. Moneyshot had already made a name for himself as a resident on Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel radio. Gaining worldwide fame for his DJ mixes, with Rolling Stone magazine ranking him in their ’25 Greatest Internet DJ Mixes of All Time’ feature.

And Rackabeat, a successful drum ’n’ bass producer, had already banged out a string of releases, including remixing global dance music icons, Groove Armada.

Mixing this keen ear for a sample, and some polished studio knowhow, provided the perfect formula for The Allergies sound. Inspired by producers like Cut Chemist, Public Enemy’s Bomb Squad, and the kaleidoscopic sampledelica of acts like The Avalanches and vintage De La Soul, they raid the past to make music for the future.

Tracks like ‘God Walked Down’, which is racking up millions of plays on Spotify, and internationally playlisted hits like ‘Felony’, and ‘I’m On It’, are prime examples of The Allergies vision – To take dusty grooves from forgotten wax and pull out soulful hooks, add hip-hop energy and driving drums, to make something new and exciting that hits your heart, as much as it does your dancing feet.

“The Allergies music is big, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk” – Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6 Music
