Review: Super-duper new Booty Breaks right here, with the label's 25th edition coming through in fine form, indeed! "Shapes" is a house-driven, break-filled re-edit of a certain pop hit that's circling the charts right now, but that we couldn't possible name for legal reasons - we're pretty sure you'll recognize it from the first 2 bars! As a follow-up, there's "Dance Close" featuring the vocals of Angel in what is a dusty, old-school rave gem re-imagined for the modern floor; "What Must I Do" is another ode to the early 90s birth of rave, with some big piano stabs rocking the tune's breaks. Bangers.
Review: Serious 808 business from Booty Breaks UK, where Miami resident Jimi The Genius opens proceedings with a smouldering, butt-shifting take on the Beastie Boys. From "Brass Monkeys" to a bona fide bass money, label boss Defkline goes x-rated with a raunchy J.O.D.D rap, juxtaposing it with a crisp guitar riff that even your dad will recognise. Finally we hit "Bounce Dat Ass"; armed with an iced-out lead and thumping garage-style 4/4, it utilises a DJ Funk vocal with stripped back, booty-shaking sonic muscle. Slippers? Full-on raving sneaks with go-faster stripes more like. Smoking.
Review: Japanese breaker Kuplay continues to develop his presence in the world of bass with this very special one-track release on Booty Breaks. Recalling breakbeat's golden era with face-melting edits and buttock-slapping bass, this wouldn't have gone amiss in a Freq Nasty or Rennie Pilgrem set back in the day. Powerful, funky and ultimately timeless, there is no dancefloor on the planet that can't be persuaded to get down to this.
Review: The Booty Breaks series hits its 21st volume and their party is just as hot, heavy and heaving with variety as it was when they launched in 2008. "Let Me Go" sees Maverick Sabre go under the knife to euphoric effect. Emphasising the drama of the original with added turbo-bass, it's an exemplary rendition of how to pay complete respect with bootleg science. "Champagne", meanwhile, takes Sneakbo's hedonistic rave tale "Zim Zimma", removes the original's OTT trance-informed synths and gives it the naughtier, detuned synth bass licks it deserved in the first place. Many would argue it's better than the original...
Review: Well known breaks barons Defkline & Pure SX get lively once again with another instalment of cheeky bootleg action. First up is "212", a bold reversioning of the currently unavoidable Azealia Banks track. With high-riding synth hooks and a beefy rhythm construction, it's a surefire bullet this summer. "Link Up" sees Wiley go under the duo's carving knife for another failsafe chunky funkster. Rolling breaks with rounded bass, it's more respectful than some of the remixes that have been doing the rounds. Finally we hit "End Of Line", a fine-tuned Beyonce homage that comes complete with instant hands-up 80s synths, very well executed bass tones and an electro riff that develops throughout.
Review: Great news everyone! Trading Standards will definitely not be calling on Booty Breaks any time soon - their releases never cease to live up to their rump-shaking name. Bad news everyone! Trading Standards may well give Fog a call... crystal clear sonics with perfect 20/20 funk focus: There's nothing foggy about this Dublin breaker in the slightest. Or stingy; he's generously given us three well sprung bouncers, all of which salute to the foundations made by the likes of Deekline and the Stanton Warriors. With well sliced samples and some incredibly well rounded bass tones throughout, each cut will cause major booty shaking action.
Review: Always boasting a well-stocked arsenal of mash ups and breakbeat remakes, the Booty Breaks label drop three new beats on this long-running series - this time supplied by crafty cutters Defkline and Red Polo. "Power Boots" revisits a '90s euro house classic, Drake's teary-eyed raps get a pleasing beat-driven overhaul on "Take Care" while excellent tropical electro banger "Go Outside" rounds off the set.
Review: Out on Deekline's Booty Breaks label, Australian electro/breaks star Athson cooks up four storming dancefloor heaters as part of this epic series of bouncing bootlegs and mash ups. "All The Girls" sounds like a follow up to Bmore anthem "Watch Out For The Big Girl" thanks to its looped vocals and delayed trumpets, while Ludacris gets a funky-tech rerub on "Go Low". Add the mean electro stabs of "Go To Work" and the old school rave shout out "Hardcore Heaven" and this makes for a very fine and banging set indeed.
Review: DJ Defkline, Red Polo and Dustin Hulton team up for this killer three track EP on Booty Breaks. The highlight here has to be the L'Trimm sampling "Cars That Go Boom", which turns the late 80s Miami Bass ode to car speakers into a smashing breakbeat jam. Also check out "Flat Toes" which throws a killer vocal over Mr Oizo's timeless electro cut "Flat Beat".
