Review: It seems that the tireless souls heading up Punks are at it again as they bring back the legendary Plump DJs for a top draw remix project, featuring two very exciting overhauls of the well received 'Lose Your Mind'. We begin the party with the irresistible sounds of Tru Fonix who send the track to the neurotic blender, rearming it with sharp shuffled bass stabs and lively drum expressions. On the flip we are introduced to a breaksy masterpiece as Beatslappaz get to work with an explosive recreation, focussing on sublow triplets and pulsating sub work. Both of these are set to do some serious damage!
Review: As ever, Punks have raised the bar with their latest release alongside the ever-ready Plump DJs. This two tracker is jam packed with groovy rhythms and interesting arrangements, kicking off with 'Let's Bounce'. This one is jam packed with grinding reesey sub bass textures and electro drum arrangement, all bubbling up together into a juicy cocktail. On the flip side we have the syncopated sorcery of 'Fired Up' which boasts an innovative use of call and response between vocal slices and acid-like synth design.
Review: Widely regarding as modern breaks royalty, Plump DJ's return to the super consistent punks imprint for a fantastic one off single. This one entitled 'Keep A Focus' drawing influences from early hardcore by way of rolling key stabs and choppy vocal slices. These musical ideas layer up perfectly alongside a collection of punchy break patterns and sub heavy synthesis to create yet another Punks classic single!
Review: You've probably heard this one about, its predecessor was a biggie and the VIP has been well sought after ever since it was the first dropped. Keeping the original vocal, and most of the track true to the original but you can almost feel Hybrid Theory seeping from each and every sound of this VIP. A clappy 4/4 background decorated with space invader style scratches, and to and fro bassline.
Review: Stanton Warriors like the releases on their Punks label to be punchy and in your face. As a result, they don't often wait around for artists to conjure up a whole EP's-worth of material, preferring instead to fire out short sharp shocks into the world. Here is one such missive, with the notorious Plump DJs dropping the "Fear Of Funk" on our unsuspecting ears, the mother of all bombs as it were. They take no prisoner's either with tough beats, slo-mo bass bounce and ravey synth stabs all fusing to create a cocktail of dancefloor destruction.
Review: Veteran house duo, Plump DJs need no introduction and here they are with a sizzling new jam, Lose Your Mind, on Punks, the label run by fellow vets Stanton Warriors. It's a typically heavy joint with a heady, tropical atmosphere and hazy, shimmering fractal memory-splinters of failing FM synths. In a word, intoxicating!
Review: Veteran DJ duo Plump DJs recently delivered their big room anthem "Yes Yes" to unanimous approval. Now we get to revisit the banger via a new remix by none other than the mighty Hybrid Theory. Although the essence of the original is retained, HT swaps most of the tribal/baile drum rhythms for more of a wobble-heavy 4 x 4 workout. Stripped back and fresh, this anthem's success is now going to last all summer!
Review: Here we have the latest short sharp shock from veteran DJ act Plump DJs. Moving on from the retro electro of their previous missive, Iou One, this time around they are aiming straight for the big rooms, peak time. "Yes Yes" is a big, blunt party anthem, with "Hustler"-era Simian Mobile Disco vocal samples and beefy tribal/baile drum rhythms. Hold on to your hats folks the confetti cannon's gonna blow!
Review: Electro, sometimes if it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's certainly how the Plump DJs feel. Here they present "Iou One", another in a long line of one-shot singles paying homage to the classics of the genre. This time Freeze are in the frame with their b-boy classic AEIOU getting a right rinsing that will work modern dancefloors into a frenzy.
Review: It's been a while since the Plumps served up any treats, so this cheeky one-tracker is a welcome return. Strutting and slapping with a solid thumping 4/4 and infectious bass hook, the duo then take us down hip-house memory lane with a perfectly executed rap that loops with energy over their groove. As we shake deeper into the break, they've also used a timeless spoken word sample and give a cheeky nod to their past with some classic breakbeats.
Review: The Plumps continue their full-force campaign of dancefloor dominance with "Super Imploder", an unpredictable, cheek-slapping electro burner that's every part as funky as it is filthy. With mighty pose-striking stabs, a gurgling acid riff and a pounding 4/4 rhythm it's an instant crowd charger laced with all manner of peaktime textures. Perfect for all explosive party situations.
Review: The Plumps' wide-eared remit continues as they sweep us off our feet for yet another filthy away game. Three cuts in total, each one ticking a totally different party box. "A Hip House Experiment" is no-nonsense four-to-the-floor bass funk with a cheeky vocal refrain and a bassline so juicy it'll stain a hundred sheets. "Rocket Soul" meanwhile sees the duo revisit a classic from their Headthrash album. Retaining the breakbeat rhythm but adding more complexity to the melody, it's a fine contemporisation. Finally we hit their rather naughty remix of Moby's "After"; switching from swinging breaks to a floor-ploughing 4/4 with a bassline so rude it makes Roy Chubby Brown look like the Queen.
