Review: The very illustrious sounds of Breakbeat Paradise make a welcome return here as they unveil yet another heavyweight project, this time smashing together the styles of Turntill and Merlin for a drum-heavy smasher. As well as the cracking original of 'Break A Day', which fuses smooth horn backings with crunchy drum patterns and expansive vocal harmonies, this one comes complete with a sack of remixes, including hefty reworks from Dubra, Arteo, Kid Stretch & Funky Boogie to begin with. Our highlights have to include B-Side's hard hitting breakbeat punch of a refurb and the well crafted overhaul from Quincy Jointz.
Review: Seen Pig Balls' logo? They ain't talking about traditional footballs! They're rude, they're crude and they batter out serious funk gems. Like this selection from Swiss label natives Turntill & Merlin. "Wizard" pokes and jokes with a squelchy organ riff that's so cosy and embracing, it could be used for a kids TV show. Throw in an epic sorcerer's vocal sample midway and you've got yourself an authentic nu funk composition. Remix-wise Tosses & Varvez up the bass rudeness and stomp factor, PulpFusion goes for a swampier, Death In Vegas style breaker and Essex Groove end on a sweet n' shufflesome filtered disco flavour. One really ought to describe Wizard as 'spellbinding'.
