Review: It's always exciting to see a new drop on the awesome Bomb Strikes imprint, a label that has helped push breakbeat music as far as it can go over the last few years, constantly unloading top quality creations. This time around, Prosper and Stabfinger join forces, firstly with the assistance of Too Many T's on 'Doin' The Conga', a vibrant crunch through gnarly synthesis and catchy singalong vocal displays. Next, Awoke touches down for a guest appearance on 'Check The Status', a slowly creeping trek through murky drums and moody subs, with the instrumental edition of 'Doin' The Conga' then arriving to close off this well thought out collection in style.
Review: Whenever we see that Stabfinger has made a return to Cuttin' It Fine, we immediately lower the lights and prepare ourselves for a super exciting sonic adventure, with Boydex actually leading the line for the introductory sounds of 'In The House', seeing Stabfinger arrive as a tidy feature across groovy subs and futuristic drum work. Next, 'Love Session' gives us a slink through funkadelic guitar lines and squelching synthetic experimentation atop a classic hip hop vocal line, with the more rumbling drumwork of 'Wompelup' then calming the project as it moves forward. Finally, the full instrumental version of 'Love Session' sees us out in a truly finessed wind down.
Review: The Cuttin' It Fine crew are back at it once again with another dancefloor-ready four track display, this time handing the reigns over to Stabfinger, who most certainly delivers. We kick off with 'The Prophet', a crunchy combination of big room horn melodies and uber-punchy drum switches, giving us a lively introduction to the project as a whole. Next up, K.D.S gets involved for the super-sampling of 'Chaka & Will' linking up two funk inspired originals for a groovy rework, which then links very smoothly into the fidget-like bass swivels and dancefloor-ready 4x4 drum rolls of 'Crunchy Banger' alongside Keylox. Finally, 'Get On The Floor' gives us a moog-driven synthetic extravaganza or 4x4 flavour before K.D.S returns to 'Chaka & Will' for secondary edit, giving it one final breakbeat twist to round off the project in style.
Review: It's quite marvelous to see so much fresh new music has been coming out of the legendary Breakbeat Paradise Recordings camp this year, as they bring together another top draw drop, this time courtesy of Stabfinger with his 'Funkastick' project. We kick off our journey into this one with the randomized wobbles of 'Twenty Five Miles', which is closely followed by the groovy guitar licks of 'Disc Jockey'. Next we have the succulent percussive pressure of the title track 'Funkastick' which combines oldschool drum combos with exciting chord patterns to achieve a really cool energy. Finally we round up with the tasty drum crunches of 'Simple Et Fonky', topped with classic vocal samples.
Review: Pioneering electro swing label Freshly Squeezed has been at the forefront of this movement for years now. Despite being deep in the festival season (they programmed stages from Glasto to Bestival) they've still found time to keep the summer releases ticking over nicely. Their latest output is a rare new collaboration between KDS and Stabfinger, "Black Mamma". With an almost religious fervour, the track skips along with an incessant skippy beat, a loopy organ riff and some catchy vintage warbling. Elsewhere "Sleep Rider" is sped-up and accelerated classic old time swing. Spot on!
Review: Should you want to turn your place into a swinging cantina let Beatnik City's first release of The Latin Leaks be your soundtrack, and slam those tequila's to "Uhh! Ahh". There's some sampled Wu Tang thrown in among a clamour of drums in "Shimmy Cumbia", while tempos are lowered in "Lift Ma Soul". For some electro-swing vibes check out "Golden Boy" and get tropical on "Real Smooth". Consider your next fiesta sorted!
Review: Freshly Squeezed just keep the fresh electro swing pouring. Here they've nabbed the star collab between producers Got KDS and Stabfinger, "Go Feet". It's a sizzling mix of a Cab Calloway-style jive-down, pulsating bass and tight and lean breaks. A bomb.
