Review: The 'Boogie Down Edits' series hits Vol 17 and suffice to say if you dig James Brown you're in for a treat, while if don't you might as well skip straight on to the next review because this latest installment is all about the Godfather of Soul and nothing BUT the Godfather of Soul. There will be those, admittedly, to whom the very concept is anathema - this writer, certainly, has never had the kind of self-belief it must take to hear a James Brown record and think 'I could improve on that' - but the Boogie Down crew have made pretty decent fist of the job and with all the big, obvious classics represented, if you can handle the idea of James Brown re-edits at all, these are good James Brown re-edits to have!

Review: Five re-edits here, but the original source for most of 'em has us beat, though we can tell you that 'Do It For The Break' loops up chunks of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' and 'Diamond Party Break' draws on William DeVaughan's 'Be Thankful For What You Got'. Elsewhere, 'Baby U Got Party Break' has subtle Hammonds and an acoustic soul-style vocal, 'Hello Party Break' marries an Akon-esque chipmunk'd female vocal to a strident male rap, and 'What Does It Take Party Break' centres around a looping piano riff. Any/all of the five should play well on more leftfield hip-hop and funk floors.

Review: The latest in the Lost Angeles re-edit crew's series of self-titled EPs/albums marks something of a departure from the script. Earlier releases were straight-up dancefloor re-edits, #14 was made up exclusively of Steve Wonder reworks: now on #15 they shine a similar spotlight on the funk output of the late, great Curtis Mayfield, but overlay each edit with bars from the likes of Nas, Rakim, Ice T and Lauryn Hill. It's an interesting approach that works best on 'It Ain't Hard 2 Funk', which is based on stone-cold classic 'Pusherman', though it does mean this EP's more one for the hip-hoppers than straight-up funkateers.

Cumbia Boogie 2EXCLUSIVE
Review: Los-Angeles boogie masher-uppers, Boogie Down Edits, are back with the second helping of their Cumbia Boogie chapter, a series reserved for Latin-influenced disco bombshells. Much like the previous outing, the second instalment of the series contains a gorgeous load of organic percussion and carnival-esque vocals; the shining moments reside in the piano-led "Espinas" and the reggaeton-leaning "It's A Pity". It's party time, people!

Boogie Down Edits 007EXCLUSIVE
Review: Californian edit outfit, Boogie Down, have been on a roll since they first unveiled their first compilation last October. The series has been fast n' furious, with the seventh installment arriving just in time to catch summer's final rays. This time there are seven new sizzlers, including the sped up chi-chi disco loops of "Time", the funky drummered Curtis Mayfield-isms of "Right On!" and the percolating electrofunk soup of "Beyond The Funk".

Boogie Down Edits 005EXCLUSIVE
Review: The Boogie Down Edits crew have been busy. It's not all that long since their last outing, yet this fifth instalment in the series boasts no less than seven tried-and-tested reworks. Naturally, the standard is high throughout. Throw in an admirable desire to mix up the genres - contrast, for example, the Bollywood-goes-New York stomp of "Disco", with the talkbox-heavy Roger Troutman rearrangement of "Come With Me", and the intergalactic down-low madness of "Let's Party" - and you've got a package that bristles with highly playable fodder. While there's a bit more contemporary heaviness to the bottom end, the crew's desire to treat the original material with due respect shines through.

Boogie Down Edits 004EXCLUSIVE
Review: The Los Angeles-based Boogie Down Edits crew are slowly gaining a reputation for the quality of their scalpel works, which tend towards the sympathetic whilst taking account of the needs of contemporary DJs. This fourth expansive volume in the series contains plenty more reasons to be cheerful, from the tight electro-funk shuffle of "Special Love" and P-Funk bounce of "The Cats Away", to the Prelude-ish synths and boogie badness of "Searching" - and razor-sharp B-boy electro of "Talk Boxing". They also find space to squeeze in the rubbery funk bass and drum machine beats of "Bernadette", and the superb disco-funk rub "Disco Dancer". Extra points will be awarded to anyone who recognises the original source material.

Boogie Down Edits 003EXCLUSIVE
Review: With this, their latest EP, Los Angeles's finest re-edit outfit, Boogie Down Edits, intend to inject a little sun into this cold and dark New Year. They don't do a bad job either, and although some purists will baulk at the liberties taken with classics like "Cybernetic Love", "What's Going On?" and "Midas Touch", there are plenty more obscure jams here to brighten everybody's day.

Boogie Down Edits 002EXCLUSIVE
Review: Here we have the sophomore outing for Californian edit crew, Boogie Down, who specialise in sunkissed retro West Coast vibes. Keen to make up for lack of releases, they've jammed a whopping nine scalpel jobs on to this release. We've been grooving to the whole lot here at Juno HQ, but our faves include the minimal cowbell and clap-athon "Get Up", the dreamy Supremes teaser, "Hanging On" and the squelchy G-funk synth jam, "West Side". Dope.
