Funk N' Beats, Vol 8 (Curated By X-Ray Ted)
X-Ray Ted / Various
Boca 45 - "Sparky Evans" - (3:14) 151 BPM
Flow Dynamics - "Straight From The Ground" - (3:29) 152 BPM
Fort Knox Five - "Reach" (feat Flex Mathews) - (3:51) 150 BPM
Review: Following fine outings from Fort Knox Five, the Allergies, Smoove and Marc Hype, amongst others, Bomb Strikes' reliable Funk N' Beats compilation series returns with rising star X-Ray Ted at the controls. In keeping with the series' heavyweight, funk-fuelled style, the Bristol-based DJ and beat-maker has gathered together a killer collection of soul, hip-hop and funk club cuts, with a smattering of more laidback numbers to keep things fresh. Highlights are plentiful throughout, with our picks including the boom-bap brilliance is Aldo Vanucci's tidy remix of 'All Down' by Mr Doris and D-Funk, the dancefloor jazz heaviness of Nostalgia 77's 'Changes', the cut-and-paste craziness of Double Dee & Steinski's 'Jazz' and the disco-funk masterclass that is X-Ray Ted's own 'Party Time'.

Funk N' Beats Vol 5 (Mixed By The Allergies)
Various / The Allergies
Bazza Ranks & Imagine This - "That Stuff" (The Allergies remix) - (3:11) 154 BPM
Dusty Donuts - "Funky Thang" (Marc Hype & Naughty NMX Underground edit) - (3:18) 153 BPM Hot
The Funk Hunters & Chali 2Na - "Oh Shit" (Featurecast remix) - (3:49) 155 BPM
The Haggis Horns - "Take It Back" (feat Doc Brown) - (3:31) 155 BPM
Review: As ever, the Bomb Strikes imprint delivers an awesome package to us with this brand new 25 track compilation entitled 'Funk N' Beats Vol. 5', To be honest, it's exactly what it says on the tin as The Allergies head up waves and waves of funkadelic rhythms and crunchy riffs. For us the highlights have to be the futuristic drum processing and subtle percussive movements of 'Loose Gardner' from Flevans, along with the classic breakbeat fusion of 'Fire' remixed by Smoove but originally produced by the Renegades Of Jazz. With the sheer depth of the project it's easy to get lost within the tracklisting, which is always a good sign on a large scale compilation.

Bass Funk Vol 3 (Mixed By Dubra)
Various / Dubra
Dubra - "Ready To Rock Intro" - (0:37) 151 BPM
Krafty Kuts - "We Do This" (feat Dynamite MC) - (3:48) 150 BPM Hot
Nick Thayer - "The Stick Up" - (3:40) 150 BPM
Basement Freaks - "Make It Clap" - (3:49) 152 BPM
Review: Destination: Latvia. Bombstrikes welcome label regular Dubra to the stage to take selection duties for the third in their floor-firing Bass Funk mix series. Digging deep into the groove vaults, he's picked some outstanding timeless classics such as Krafty Kuts and Dyna's swaggering entrance theme "We Do This", Stickybuds' life-affirming glitch-slapper "Clap Your Hands" and A Skillz & Nick Thayer's body-slamming "Drop The Funk". Elsewhere we get our alien freak on with Opiuo, we get our heads knocked off by Dubra himself on "Keep It Going" and Punks favourite "You Don't" from Horger and Steve among many other straight up party-battering bass jams. 24 originals and a killer mix to boot, Bombstrikes are causing some serious damage with this collection. Strike while the dancefloor is hot yo!

Cinco To The Brinco
Cinco To The Brinco (Omegaman remix) - (4:44) 155 BPM
Cinco To The Brinco - (4:33) 155 BPM
Cinco To The Brinco (Omegaman remix instrumental) - (4:44) 155 BPM
Cinco To The Brinco (original instrumental) - (4:33) 155 BPM
Review: If there were an award for 'most remixed album', genre-busting Washington D.C. outfit Fort Knox Five would win hands down for their ongoing remix programme of every track from their Pressurize The Cabin LP. This time it's the turn of their Mexican pop-hop sing-along, "Cinco To The Brinco", and it's been reworked somethin' good. There are a whopping nine different versions of the original on offer here, covering all bases in the process. Highlights include Omegaman's breaky shuffle, Basement Freaks towering party electro instrumental and the sumptuous White Isle vibes of Farid's Ode To The '90s Dub.

DJ-Kicks (unmixed Tracks)
Moodymann / Various
Yaw - "Where Will You Be" - (4:12) 155 BPM
Jitwam - "Keep Your Business To Yourself" - (3:12) 159 BPM
Review: It would be fair to say that Studio K7 has pulled off something of a coup in getting Kenny Dixon Jr. to agree to compile and mix the latest installment in the long-running DJ Kicks series. It is, somewhat remarkably, the legendary Detroiter's first commercially available mix set. This triple-vinyl edition features a whopping 19 cuts - all in unmixed form - from the 30 track mix. Musically, it's a blazed, jazzy, soulful and groovy as you'd expect, and contains a mixture of downtempo beats, nu-jazz and hazy house cuts from the likes of Flying Lotus, Dopehead, Peter Digital Orchestra, Nightmares On Wax, Soulful Session and Lady Alma.

Funk Against Fascism
Various
Timothy Wisdom - "Check The Living Dub" - (6:40) 152 BPM Hot
Hero No 7 - "Never Ever Had A Hero" - (6:03) 155 BPM
Review: This should be considered something of a treat for funk breaks fans. In a bid to raise funds for the Love Music, Hate Racism charity, it gathers together tracks from both heavy hitters (Badboe, Fort Knox Five, Zamali etc) and lesser-known talents on one action-packed compilation. If this kind of party-rocking fun is your thing, it should be an essential purchase, not least because it includes some fine material. Check in particular Super Combo Funk's trad funk/P-funk fusion "I Don't Need No Dope", PulpFusion's fuzzy "Rockin Kids" and the wobble-step influenced "Boob Job" from Bristolian Ewan Hoozami, who happens to be the son of former England rugby player Alistair Hignell.
