Jazz K Lipa At Juno Download

Review: It's booty time... German style! Lipa's vibes have been felt across nu funk floors far and wide. While leaning towards the more authentic, original-material side of scene here he's showing the pretenders how to do mash things up good and proper. "I Follow River" takes Lykke Li to a very dark place, "Down With My Trumpet" gives Rizzle Kicks a badboy makeover, "Soundboy Go Home" punches both Buju Banton and Cocoa Tea in the groove goolies and "Children Of The Revolution" introduces T Rex to dubstep. Oof!

Review: The BBP label serve up a new treat from German electro/funk producer Jazz K Lipa, plus a ton of hefty bass 'n' breaks mixes from an international cast of remixers. JKL's original is a low-slung bass bin troubler that nicely switches up styles between raw funk drums and strictly digital kicks and snares. DJ Wood however keeps things purely electro, adding a deep and menacing filter bassline to proceedings, while Jayl Funk draws on some soulful piano licks and Funkanomics creates a Bootsy Collins-style bassline to drive along his fun and slinky reworking.

Review: A feel good song about manhood size and undercrackers: it's like Dresden's Jazz K Lipa was reading the minds of the 2012's dancefloors. And with these staggering psychic skills comes an innate sense of contemporary funk, too; the original is a Shaft-flavoured groove that rolls with car chase promise as Smith & Smart bounce off each with panache. Four remixers step up to the plate to complete the set: DJ Soo goes all low-swung and devious with a throbbing squidgy bass hook and sneaky samples thrown in for good measure. Calagad13 ups the tempo with a classic breakbeat swing and a snarling saw-tooth riff. JiggyJoe tweaks the high end for a quirky 8-bit factor while Gyorgy De Val stretches the bassline to create a more traditional breakbeat formula. Shucks, there's even an instrumental. What a package.

Review: German producer Jazz K Lipa teams up with Glasgow spitter Soom T on this new pair of dancehall-bass smashers for the Cast A Blast label. Title tune "This Is Not a Horse" uses tech/tropical drums and some fierce swooping bass shots to keep the energy high, while "My Gun Is Culture" interpolates The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" on the chorus over a ska-funk bass beat.

Review: Taken from his album The Plugger, "Don't Stop" comes with a clutch of remixes, each one guaranteed to set a different stage of your party alight. The McTwist remix is for that moment when warm up becomes the show down... The tempo is still low but the energy certainly isn't. Tosses & Varvez's remix is for about an hour later; the dancefloor is filling and you need a reliable groove that doesn't go too over the top, but keeps peeps bubbling. Naturally Jazz K Lippa's remix is for the peak time; upbeat and sprung with a rude bass undertone, this will raise more than a few whoops. Finally the Time To Funky remix. A conga-fuelled freakout, you could drop this at any point of the night and watch the chaos ensue. Listen to the man: do not stop!
