Breakbeat Paradise Recordings
Played by: Mr Bristow, Mako & Mr Bristow, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, Rory Hoy, Funky Boogie Brothers, Funk Fusion
Review: Drunk on heavy Craig Charles support, Bristol chain-funkers Mako & Bristow get mucky on Breakbeat Paradise with four more floor firecrackers. "Twist & Shout" fuses various versions of the classic rock n' roll song over a snippy breakbeat tempo, "Funky Jive" is a schooling in Bo Diddly business while "If Stax Ain't A Reason" takes us on a way trip to Memphis and finally "Funk Am Im No Good" flips Winehouse into the funkiest homosapien on the planet. Ridiculously funky.

Review: Morongroover; what more can we say? It's not taking yourself too seriously which can result in a lot of fun and you could say he's got that aspect covered on these four cuts of block rockin' breakbeat. First up the London via Japan producer serves us with "Get On Up" which is no doubt a modern tribute to The Godfather Of Soul: James Brown. There's smooth, blunted hip hop flavour on "Fairy Tales" and "The Right Keys". Also some nice acid jazz and hip hop crossover on "Uptown Funk". Fans of Finger Lickin', Cut La Roc, The Freestylers et al. look no further.

Review: In search of B Side tracks your best ports of call are labels like Big M Productions, Ghetto Funk and of course the producer's own B Side. This release sees B Side land on the prolific Breakbeat Paradise Recordings with a filter-funkin', rock-steady five-track with the block party beats of "Joy" a highlight. The disco vibes of this EP come out most on "Lets Do It", while the whole EP brims with upfront basslines and in your face rappin'.

Review: Serial album-blaster Morlack returns from his Go-Go odyssey with what must be his thirty-first long player. Going back to his dirtier bass, disco-edged samples and classic hip-hop vocals, it's another 12 track funk adventure with something for all DJs. Highlights include the fidgety swing of "Anything U Do Is Ugly", the Zapp & Roger style west coast steez of "Who Comes" and the all-out block-busting grit of "Jukebox". Concluding with the sweet digi-skank and slap bass bubbles of "What You Wanna Do", it's yet another immaculate collection from the unstoppable (and probably unsleeping) Morlack.

That said Tom Showtime has paid his dues too with years of delivery the party ammunition. Here he joins forces with the aforementioned label to provide more of the usual light-hearted floorfillers. There are five jams to enjoy here including the funky, Fresh Prince-era hip-hop vibes of "Supernaturalflow", the tough breaky grooves of the Salt-N-Pepa-sampling, "Dancefloor Seasoning" and the sunshine vibes of dubby dancehall jam, "King Of Clubs".

Review: Break Beat Paradise Recordings tend to celebratory the more celebratory side of breakbeat music. Here though, the gloves are off on this hard-hitting compilation, Big Fat Mama Beats. There are seven fresh jams to enjoy including the housed-up, ska-infused bouncer "Chinese Robots (Re-Up)" by DiscObeta, Mr Rich & The Caretaker's street tough electro breaks cover of "My Feelings For You" (originally a Gwen McRrae joint) and the urgent percussion and Middle Eastern samples of Crunch "(Scratch By DJ Craft)" by Funky Boogie Brothers.

Review: Jiggy Joe is known for his breaky electro-swing style party jams, but here with pal Skeewiff he explores more of the 'ghetto Latin' style peddled by the latter over the last couple of years. It's a move that generally works a treat with "Shake It" being a jaunty cumbia shuffle full of Miami in 40s pizzazz. Ursula 1000 adds some bleepy b-boy electro into the mix too whilst Rory Hoy goes for a more straight up 4/4 remix. Elsewhere Joe hooks up with Jazz K Lippa for the tougher electro-hop of "Welcome" and Rayna MC on the dubby skank of "My Town". All bases covered on this party mix of an EP.

Review: If you're into beats and basslines then the Breakbeat Paradise label is the stuff of dreams. While many labels try to branch out into different styles and often lose their identities on the way, these guys deal solely in raucous breaks for the big room dances. While they usually release compilations by single artists, the imprint launched the first volume of the newly crowned Funk Bananas series. Coming through with a vast collection of new artists and familiar faces, these cuts are guaranteed to jump-start your Saturday evenings. Electrogorilla, Rory Hoy and many others dish out party bombshells in an old-school flavour. A mighty fine collection, indeed!

Review: Let's hope Mr Bristow and Phil Ramocon have a designated driver; they're seriously intoxicated right about now. Oozing boozy style, Bristow's bass whips back and forth with the midrange electro sound that's similar to Featurecast while Ramocon gets his Edwin on with some really gutsy vocal business. Remix-wise B-Side adds a bit more oomph to the low end, J Sound switches up the smoothness with tinges of disco, DJ Clairvo injects some really nice sound steel string guitars and cosmic reverse effects while Jazz K Lipa closes the show on a future moombah flex. In short, there's enough toxicity here for us all to get drunk.

Review: Block rocking Bavarian breaks for only the most happening block parties here courtesy of Nuremberg's Jayl Funk. He collaborates with Leeds' Tarzan Bros on "Shake It" which features four versions on offer. The original features some catchy hands in the air vocals and soul guitar licks, backed by funky breaks and bass and even a brass section! The AGFA remix is more of an electronic, nu-skool breaks sound for the club. London's Skeewiff gets the perfect combination of both previous versions, injecting a fierce breakbeat for added dancefloor dynamics, but keeping the organic feel of the original. Finally Yamaha Eletrico inject an electro beat and a razor sharp bassline into it, which will appeal to fans of Whirlpool Productions, Laidback or newcomers like Will Clarke.

Review: Lashings of Latvian party pounding right here... Having developed a reputation for carving up a repertoire of detailed bootlegs, Arteo goes legit with this fizzy four tracker. "LetAss Party" is full of big beat twists and turns. Think Wiseguys on steroids and a team of award winning life coaches. "Everywhere I go" is a heavier, more club-focused jam with a wiggly metallic bassline and a super-tight sample on the breakdown. "Nobody Else" does the mid-range bass jitterbug in a way so sassy it could make Featurecast blush while BBP label boss Badboe brings the finale fire with a slinky, squelchy take on "Time & Place". Essential party business for the summer and beyond.

Review: It's always a happy moment to see new Breakbeat Paradise material landing in the store, with this spicey new four-tracker from Maandala being a wicked addition. We open up with the euphoric horn work and hard hitting drum smashes of 'Coleus Switch', which sets a happy tone very quickly through its uplifting melodic approach. Next, we take things a little bit more into the future as the sweeping synthesizer slides and electronic vocal manipulations of 'Closure' unleash something a little different, before 'Monstera 5' sets the dancefloor alight with a monstrous display of synthetic bass mastery, switching between grizzly reeses and frog-like LFOs. Finally, 'Saviour, Self' delves a bit more into the electro-inspired side of breaks, deploying 80's style synth pulses and a very fun vocal sample to top everything off. Lovely work!

Review: Fresh from remixing Gary Glitter (no, really), the lovably unpredictable Prosper delivers his debut long player... And it's a must for all funk, breaks and hip-hop freaks. Laced with some fast-flowing continental MC work from the likes of Azaxx & Phoebus and Wapi Wap, it's a fantastic showcase of French funk talent as we whistle and wheeze our way through the myriad styles. Highlights come in many shapes and sizes but be sure to check out the Modeselektor style "En Dessus De Tout", the slippery glitches of "Slutty Snoop" and the deep, rumbling grooves of "Meet The Weird Cowboys". And that's just three of 16 tracks! A fine debut album...

Review: This solid four-tracker from fast-rising German breakbeat geezer Myniemo offers plenty of thrills and spills amongst a quartet of formidably floor-friendly neck-snappers. The urgent, hip-hop sampling rock/breaks crossover cut "Discplex" launches proceedings, powering forwards thanks to some colossal wobble bass and silly vocals (something about tacos, apparently). "I'm Walking" tightens things up, utilising scratches and guitar solos to whip up a dancefloor frenzy. "Boom" mashes up old skool electro, B-more and ragga, all high-pitched vocals and booming synth bass, while "Hasta Pronto" somehow fuses breakbeat and flemenco!

Review: With only a handful of singles and remixes under their belt, Fretless shock the system with an entire album of sizzling party-starting flavours. Recruiting an impressive gang of vocalists - MC Shureshock, Funkin Irie, Q-Dup, Kween G, Jimme A, Haul - there's a strict consistency kept running throughout as we whirl and waltz amidst numerous styles. Impressive moments are plentiful. Fine examples can be found in the township style "Thin Ice" (think Paul Simon's Graceland produced by Diplo), the laid back style backpacker hip-hop of "One Life" and the slamming breakbeat battle dance of "El A Bongardo". You want more? Good, there's nine more tracks on offer here, each one as good as the last. Debut albums don't come much funkier.

Review: Jiggy Joe (that's his real name, we've checked his birth certificate) has been a little silent since his previous three bootleg bonus packs came our way last year, but it's clear he's been busy toiling away at his machines to create this monster selection. He leads with "Didgeridoo" which sounds like the Chems circa Exit Planet Dust but with added hype-fuelled lyrics. The two remixes by Bobby C and Funkanomics take it to completely different party pastures, making it a great release in its own right before you even get to the cheeky reworks elsewhere on the package. "Sweets For The Tiger" is the balls out theme Rocky would've endured a million montages for. "Ready Or What?" is the best Fugees remake since Hype got heavy on them years ago while "Tell Me Do You Like It" sees Joe taking a Mylo-favoured sample and making it his very own. Get Jiggy!

Jazz K Lipa feat Smith & Smart
Review: A feel good song about manhood size and undercrackers: it's like Dresden's Jazz K Lipa was reading the minds of the 2012's dancefloors. And with these staggering psychic skills comes an innate sense of contemporary funk, too; the original is a Shaft-flavoured groove that rolls with car chase promise as Smith & Smart bounce off each with panache. Four remixers step up to the plate to complete the set: DJ Soo goes all low-swung and devious with a throbbing squidgy bass hook and sneaky samples thrown in for good measure. Calagad13 ups the tempo with a classic breakbeat swing and a snarling saw-tooth riff. JiggyJoe tweaks the high end for a quirky 8-bit factor while Gyorgy De Val stretches the bassline to create a more traditional breakbeat formula. Shucks, there's even an instrumental. What a package.

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.

Review: A quad of funklets from the ever reliable Nynfus corp as we get deep down and dirty with these bass-ravaged ghetto grooves. "Break It Down" is a fantastic discofied breakbeat take on Ebony Eyez "In Ya Face". Elsewhere we find an off-the-wall rendition of Edith Piaf's "Je Ne Regrette Rien" that you will NEVER regret dropping at a party ("La Petit P"), some gypsy jazz style eastern carnage ("Istambool") and some proper thug life vibes featuring Blade ("Gangster's Rock"). All different flavours, all killers, Nynfus Corp can do no wrong.

Review: Boe "Badboe" Pedersen has always been one of he more reliable sources of floor friendly, funk-laden breaks jams. While his style sticks to the tried-and-tested, there's a quality present that's often lacking in similar breakbeat productions. Pump Up The Funk, his second full length, has plenty of dancefloor chops. It features a range of cuts created using snappy rhythms, familiar hip-hop samples (Missy Elliot and Redman are both notable inclusions) and fat funk grooves. There's a casual swing and groove to the material that's endearing, too - something that can't be said about many of his competitors' creations. If breakbeat is your bag, this comes highly recommended.

Review: Lyrics paying homage to one of the world's funkiest individuals, delivered with dark, pitched-down undertones. On paper this really shouldn't work. In reality it ruddy rocks. This is largely thanks to Prosper & Azaxx's quirky, off-beat shuffle groove underneath. Think Music For Freaks and you get the picture.

Review: Last seen lurking on the label's cracking Pump Up The Funk collection, Devellis returns with his first full EP in a long, long time. Littered with samples and very cool grooves, the whole EP is a doozy but here's a few more details in case you're undecided; "High Freedom" is a summer-stunned block rocker with more sneaky hip-hop vox than a Compton recording booth. "Over & Under", meanwhile, takes a more laid back jazzier approach with a rap that doesn't sound too far away from Method Man. "Ryder Classic" takes us to a more authentic early 70s funk club and makes us swing until we're dazzled and dizzy while "Turtle Love" blends the Beasties with Daft Punk and whole series of lush horns.

Review: With its promise of "biomechanical ghetto-electro waveforms", there's a certain amount of paranoia attached to this full-length from Danish breakbeat producer Kim M. Sorensen. Yet there's also funk for days and, impressively, some curious musical twists and the odd sting in the tail. Contrast, for example, the Latin jazz-funk tinged positivity of "Shamanic Funk" and the clandestine fuzziness of "Moonbatron". The real piece de resistance, though, is closer "Fingers (of Funk Session)", an epic exploration of darkroom funk breaks that twists, turns, rises and falls over 13 minutes of heavyweight dancefloor goodness.

Review: Dj Badboe treats his four-track Pump Up The Funk EP to a grandiose remix package on his own Breakbeat Paradise Recordings. Although it's an EP categorised as breakbeat, a lot of the remixers draw influences from elsewhere, like the hip house Beastie Boys rap rock of Kool Kertz remix to "Introducing", or the soul cut-ups of the WBBL's remix to "Ghetto Funkalicious". The Captain looks to bit crushed, bleeping disco in their remix to "Sweet Games" while pop music similar to Lily Allen mixed with electro swing defines Listen To The JPOD's remix to "Hit The Maestro". Other styles embedded into this versatile package includes big beat (similar to Fatboy Slim), '90s UK house in (Chuddy's remake of "Green Power Funk") to chunky dub step. All bases, here, are covered.

The scattered vocal samplings and slower, more precise drum sampling of the title track 'Coming Through' immediately demonstrates their finesse, before dipping into the smooth vocal lines and emotive horn melodies of 'I Would Fall' alongside LAWN, Stephanie Lottermoser & Eve Lamell. Next up, it gets more electro with the glitchy synthesizers of 'Rock On', before Blokboy and Funkanizer get busy with their extremely exciting remix additions, rounding this one up perfectly.

Do What You Love (feat Dizzy Dustin & Kylie Earl - DJ Rudd presents Bandmaster remix) - (5:11) 110 BPM
Review: While many of his peers are still stumbling out of the bootleg blocks, Roast Beatz is making some serious ground with his original productions. Following his massive EP on Riddim Fruit with artists such as Jehst and Stig Of The Dump, here he comes with two more consummately penned originals. "Do What You Love" is blessed with the distinctive lyrical flexery of Ugly Duckling's Dizzy Dustin. Grabbing you instantly with his laid-back charm, he's complemented by the syrup-sweet vocals of Kylie Earl. The result is a track that you feel you've known forever. "Ride It Out" is equally ear-grabbing as Crystal Carter comes on strong over the tight funk groove like a young Alice Russell. With remixes from Tom Showtime and Rudd, Breakbeat Paradise have put together something very special right here.

Review: When mash-up DJ extraordinaire Mr Bristow conquered his native St Albans in fine style, he embarked on a 15 year journey that has seen him win awards left right and centre whilst DJing all over the shop and even teaching the next generation of DJs in his Hoxton HQ. Here he delivers a cheeky hip-hop ditty, laden with vintage brass stabs and featuring the autobiographical raps of Benny Silver. Think a very British Fresh Prince and you're there. Best of the remixes is Roast Beatz that ups the funk factor to 11. House party gold.

Review: Four cheeky party-pleasers: "Party With Me" takes Busta to the nu-funk pastures his distinctive vocals have always demanded. "Hold Me Down" introduces us to Morongroover's ability to fine-tune the perfect amount of distortion to an otherwise salubrious party chant while "Hit That Jive" acts as the liveliest, glitchiest, freakiest soundtrack to one of Bootsy Collin's wet dreams. Finally we hit "Can You Do It", a slower hip-hop influenced track that struts with a confident guitar-twanging swagger and expert execution of one of People Under The Stair's best raps. We can only assume Morongroover has named himself ironically - truly, there is nothing moronic about these beats!

Review: It's not often an artist gets treated to being remixed 18 times on the one release, but here Morlack pulls it off. But before the remixing gets underway he raises the curtain with a Notorious B.I.G sampling gambit of slashing synths, tearing basslines and fluttering drums. Then there's the remixes. Funkanomics get all big band, Stevie Wonder and straight up hip hop on part two of a remix to "Take It To The Zulu", while BadBoE provides a killer remake of "Nice & Rough". James Brown is in the place during Trotter's remix of "Play Cards Right" while Morlack electrofunkifies himself in a 2014 remix of "Ghetto Vaccination". More breakbeats than you can poke a DJ at!

Review: If this was any more disco it would come complete with a personal love letter from David Mancuso himself. Lavish strings, feelgood chord progressions, emphatic vocals - this perky breakbeat jam spins the shiniest disco balls possible. Powered by tightly edited live drum breakbeats, it's an instant summer smash. Remix-wise BadboE throws down a warped bass flex and fatter drums, Robinson Grooves slows down the vibe and injects a bolder soul vocal and Jimi Needles presses the mellow button with washed out filtered guitars and a slower, steady rhythm. Get it indeed.

Review: Full-flavoured party vibes: emerging German funkster Myniemo lets loose with three pristine shindigs. "The Boss" dons its shades for an all-out Blues Brothers homage by way of a stomping "Peter Gunn Theme" reboot. "This Is How Rock" takes Biggie to the funkiest possible pastures while "A New Pair Of Boots" is a distinctive trip to Latin America with trembling pianos, hip-snapping castanets and mesmerising nylon string guitar strumming. Remix-wise Breakers give "This Is How We Rock" a sharper b-boy flavour with precision edits on the riddim while Endless Summer add a softer jazzier motif with jaunty organs galore. Tasty.

Review: Breakbeat Paradise Recordings certainly live up to their names with this second edition of Bring Back The Funk. Opening proceedings is Funktomas with a stuttering big room mega wobble edit of "Let Me Clear My Throat", while J Sound's is "On & ON" is R&B-poppy with phat licks of bass included. Phibes provides something that's on a EDM tip, while Conte Crux is in a hip hop sampling kind of mood. Ad'N'Kuts delivers some sleazy pop, breaks and nu-funk, leaving Mr Bristow to complete this package with a downtempo but groovy as hell "Raise Yo Hands".
