Breakbeat specialists Breakbeat Paradise Recordings was founded in 2006 by Boe Pedersen (DJ BadboE) and Kim Sørensen (Wiccatron) in Denmark. The label originated from the breakbeat-focused website Breakbeat Paradise that began in 1996. From authentic funky breaks to peak-hour techy breaks and everything in between, Breakbeat Paradise have squeezed out a ton of unforgettable tracks from the likes of BadboE, Morlack, Jiggyjoe, Pecoe, B-Side, Prosper, Wiccatron, Mr Bristow, Mined & Forrest and Roast Beatz amongst others.
Review: A touch of the forthcoming summer is in show with this latest run from the Breakbeat Paradise collective, welcoming the heavyweight combination of Pecoe & Boydex for four tracks of silky breaksy goodness. Opening up, we see the luscious vocal displays of Sully Sax on display as 'Have Faith' gives us a flutey sweep through emotive strings and tidy drums, followed by 'Bring The Heat', a more clunky chop through classic hip hop samples and guitar licks. Sully Sax then returns on the more nostalgia-inducing melodies of 'Disco Fever', before 'Go' closes us off with some funkadelic flavour. Awesome work!
Review: As always with the eminence of Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, we braced ourselves for an explosive landing on this latest offering from Second Hand Audio, who deliver the fourth edition of the 'Toxic Funk' series. We open up with the charming guitar riffs and old school singalong vocals of 'Dance To The Beat', which undeniably turns to the mood positive after just a few bars, followed by scratchy vocal samples to match. The funk levels are then increased ten-fold as 'Treacherous Love' links together classic bass riffing and more old school hip-hop vocal work, throwing us back in time to a happier place and rounding off this two-tracker with a splash of serious style.
Review: It's another absolute strike from the Breakbeat Paradise crew as they welcome the ever-ready sounds of BadboE to the table, delivering a vibrant original alongside a hip-shaking collection of remixes. First up, 'Hard Times' takes centre stage as shrill saxophone melodies and groove-inducing breakbeat arrangements give us a tasty original to work with, setting the mood just right for some remix action. Next up, Suckaside unloads a seriously weight refix clip, giving the track a much more dubwise feel, followed by the system-twisting bass crunches of Baxta & Boydex's overhaul, alongside Gramophone Soul's more dancefloor driven rethink. Every feature on this collection has a valid time and place, making it a very well arranged remix package!
Review: Next up from the incredibly consistent catalogue of Breakbeat Paradise, we see them unveil yet another spicey box of weaponry, this time welcoming the one and only Boydex inside along with a host of guests to match. We begin with the sumptuous saxophone riffs and euphoria inducing structures of 'Burning Up' combining beautiful vocal plays from Sully Sax and tidy co-production from Baxta. From here, 'Blessings' arrives with more sweet vocal work from the very same, this time rolling out a much more funk-driven feeling, followed by a wavy co-appearance from Pecoe on the hip-hop inspired skins of 'Move Around'. Finally, 'Funky Fresh' unveils a crunkulated combination of electronic rhythm and moody drum struts, giving us one hell of a closer to round things off!
