Cuttin' It Fine
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: For this, the latest in a long line of high quality Cuttin' It Fine drops, we welcome the expertise of Roast Beatz, who here unveils a feature length album project entitled 'Electric Pistachio', featuring twelve wicked originals. The features really bring this one to life, with guest appearances from the likes of Kurnel MC, Natty, PRofit, Broken Poetz, Mysdiggi, Ella Mae and many more highly renowned names. For us, there are a couple of immediate standouts when talking through this one, the first of which has to be the skippy drumwork of 'Keep It Movin' alongside the smooth vocal presence of the legendary Rider Shafique, alongside the groovy-heavy rhythmic twists of 'The People' with the fabulous harmonies of Greg Blackman.

Review: From the jump on this one we know it's time to crank the system up a level as Pecoe touches down on 'Cuttin' It Fine' for four high powered breakbeat originals, beginning with the screaming lead synths and catchy synth lines of 'Open Up Your Mind'. This is followed by 'Kick It Fresh' which brings bags of brass-driven energy, before the well sampled vocal leads of 'Jungle Hoodie' take to the stage. This one then finishes up with a touch of magic as 'That's The Funk' writhes into view, bearing a tonne of funky harmonies and hard hitting drum structures, Oof!

Review: Following on from a very exciting start to 2022, Mr Fitz returns in dazzling form for a spicy four track display on Cuttin' It Fine, who continue to impress with their 'Freshly Dipped' artist series. We open up here with a bubbling D&B display, with the nostalgic hardcore piano lines and classic Buju Banton vocal of 'Oye Champion', giving us a throwback introduction to enjoy. From here we are then engulfed in the tropical sounding melodic switches of 'Canto De Ossanha', focussing in on gorgeous guitar plucks and the classic 'Under Me Sensi' vocal line, followed by the Northern-Soul inspired organ melodies of 'Big Girl' which injects a new layer of energy into proceedings. Finally, we take in one final powerhouse as 'Too Many Mics' arrives with a pitched down vocal, a bumping bassline and some sharp breaksy sampling to round off a solid collection in style!

Review: Cuttin' It Fine look to round off with the year in style as they welcome back the sounds of Liberty Chaps for a vibrant four track expanse, which kicks off with catchy bassline grooves and descriptive lyricism of the one and only Kurnel MC, who adds a definite energy boost to this one. Next, the twisted synthesis and super punchy drum designs of the title track 'Fungasm' work their way into play before Liberty Chaps give a chunky, drum-driven remix to Dr Syntax's classic 'Boombox' vocal, again steering the EP in a bit of a different direction. To round off, we find ourselves working through a wacky combination of high energy drum rhythms and well sampled guitar riffs on 'Pillbillies' to put the finishing touches on a very enjoyable selection.

Review: We return to the fantastic homeland of Cuttin' It Fine here as they roll out the big guns across this brand new project from Frankee More. This EP is a real showcase of the future of breakbeat and surrounding genres, as we kick off with the forward thinking, stripped back production of 'Plus One', which holds some fantastic vocal work from Phoenix Da Ice Fire and EC. This is followed by the groovy descending melodies of 'Down Funk' and the super smooth chord movements and riffs of 'Who Got Da Funk'. Finally, the ever-widening LFO's and glitchy synth plucks of 'Aw Yeah' rounds up the project in style.

Review: And just like that it's time to dive back into a bag of breakbeat brilliance as Cockney Nutjob and Kurnel MC join forces with Cuttin' It Fine across four brand new originals. The title track 'Unity' packs a real punch between the soulful groovy sample chops and enthused vocal lines, before we float into the more uplifting progressions of 'Drenched'. Next, we amble into the viewing of 'Parents Anthem' which again builds on harmonic structures and charming chord movements, before we finish up the release with a look at 'Get it', a pleasing breaksy roller, designed to lift the mood of any dance.

Review: The Cuttin' It Fine team seem to be so damn consistent when it comes to selecting futuristic, forward-thinking breakbeat originals, a theme continued by Bright Idea here with this spicy four-track selection. We begin with the aquatic yet tight percussive crunches and uplifting melodic structures of 'Good Good', before the moogs take a leading role in 'Listen Up', a hip-twisting display of groovy fun. From here we continue our listening journey into 'Hold It Down', which takes a much more scattered, almost hip-hop like approach to it's drums, topped of with glittering funk-like synth leads, before 'Break It Down' delivers the most heavy-hitting original of the bunch, combining breathy drums with crunchy bass synths below. This makes for a great long-play in the sun.

Review: There is a high bar on the quality scale when it comes to Cuttin' It Fine's fantastic catalogue of original breakbeat wonder. This latest drop from Azido 88 & Cadillacque is a great example of them at their best, as the duo unveil a smooth newschool hip hop roller by the name of 'Heavy Hitters'. The original is a proper summertime anthem, a roof down, speakers blaring type of singalong, but the project really spices up when we begin to dive into the remixes. First up, X-Ray Ted supplies us with a funk-infused rethink, focussing on crunchy horn melodies, before Roast Beatz turns up the temperature with stripped back, bass-driven rethink. Finally, DZRT FRST supplies us with a tech-infused 4x4 refit of the tune, adding the final dash of variation needed to put this EP up to the next level!
