Four Aces Funk EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: The Allergies, Craig Charles Funk And Soul, Qdup, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Juno Recommends Funk, Quincy Jointz, X-Ray Ted, Wiccatron, Funky Boogie Brothers, AFRO DUB, Vito lalinga, Juno Download
Review: Honkey Phonk founder Jayl Funk outta Germany brings his cards to the table with this Four Aces EP, turning to disco as an inspiration for the most part with a sweet touch of samba in "Together". With a rocksteady groove and blaxploitation funk backing the horns, vocals and extra piano rolls of "Feel The Heat", it's the filtered strings of life and roller disco decadence of "Something" that accompanies the '80s-pop elements, spaced-out vocoders, and undeniable dancefloor vibe of "Fantastic Sunshine". Four of a kind.

Take My HandEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Dj XS (FVUK), Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Broken Beat Nu Jazz, Quincy Jointz, TURNTILL, Funky Boogie Brothers, ElectroGorilla, Phil Disco, Vito lalinga
Review: Based in Nuremberg, Germany, Jayl Funk is a DJ/producer whose work, in his own words, spans "funk, soul, breakbeat and nu-disco". Here, he teams up with French vocalist Lucy Lune Gillespie on a cut that bridges the gap between neo-soul and 'new old' funk ? la The Dap Kings, Haggis Horns, Lack Of Afro et al. 'Take My Hand' has a summery, midtempo but still uplifting feel and a singalong "take me from the dancefloor to the bandstand," and just begs to be heard live at a festival on a sunny day, while if you're not a fan of vocals there's also a NonVoice Version supplied to suit your needs.

Review: German nu-funk/funk breaks stalwart Jayl Funk comes with a two-track release on his own Honkey Phonk label, and it's very much a game of two halves, Brian. 'Miracle' opens with some geetar screeching ? la 'When Doves Cry', before breaking out into an exuberant, happy-clappy soul stomper, complete with gospel choir, that's surely missed its true destiny - to soundtrack the wedding party scene in a Whoopi Goldberg rom-com. But for dirtier, rawer funk thrills head for the brass-parpin' 'Let Me', which comes on like a long lost Ike & Tina jam from the early 70s.

Lounge SoundzEXCLUSIVE
Review: Nuremberg's funky breaks champion Jayl Funk rarely presents other talents, as his Honey Phonk imprint is mainly dedicated to his own sounds. Here however, he presents Rudi Ludwig aka Downstair Project - who you some of you may remember from their collaboration over a year ago. He presents some jazzy, liquid drum & bass in the vein of LTJ Bukem on "Sometimes" while "Whiskey In The Backyard" sees him channel some lush and dusty deep house for the late night. Sweet panpipe action on this one reminiscent of "The Whistle Song'.

Funkin Your SoulEXCLUSIVE
Played by: The Allergies, Trotter, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, TOSSES, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: JayL Funk's delightful approach to edits and vintage reincarnations has just got a new groove on thanks to this little beauty of a two-tracker for the Honkey Phonk imprint, and it's hard to have a smile on your face when listening to this gear on a Friday morning. Featuring the Tarzan Bros, "Funkin Your Soul" offers a chunky boogie bass that drops like a mother****** on the speakers, leaving absolutely no laggers standing awkwardly in the corners. Trotter mix is a little more elegant in its approach, but still carries the original's tight groove, hummable vocals and utterly funked-out bass.

Across The Sea (Remixes)EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Spinforth, Clairvo (MustBeat), The Allergies, Fort Knox Five, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, TOSSES, THE NICEGUYS, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: Nuremberg's Jayl Funk is becoming one of the most important producers and DJs in the funky breaks scene. He returns on his own Honkey Phonk label with "Across The Sea (Club version)" a soul funk excursion in the vein of Teddy Pendergrass or Chic but hey don't ask us, ask the DJ or keep diggin' Daddy O! There's also two killer remixes at hand; first up is Funkonomics with a rendition which goes for a more stripped and '80s sound with synth funk bass, 808 hi-hats and vocoded vocals. Finally DJ Love's remix is definitely the party starter on here, with its hip-hop inspired block rocking' beats.

Honkey Phonk 10EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Clairvo (MustBeat), Trotter, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Broken Beat Nu Jazz, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: With a name like Honkey Phonk Records and a founder called Jayl Funk, it's no surprise to find this label comes with a stated dedicated to 'straight funky sounds'. This maxim is lived up to on this tenth label compilation, which coincidentally features ten tracks, with Jayl and his roster stepping up for some no-nonsense party music. This time round the label boss takes the lion's share of the release, providing seven new cuts including the chirpy retro strut of "Dirty", the bloc-rockin' breaks of "Rising" and the vintage sample-heavy ecstatic medley of "Don't Stop Movin". Other highlights include the bluesy funk-rock of "Bohannon" by EuPe and the raw underground 60s soul of "Let Me Do My Thing" by Voodoocuts. Quality party fodder.

We Got The FunkEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Frankee More, Fort Knox Five, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, TOSSES, Rory Hoy, Funky Boogie Brothers, KUT FUNK
Review: Supreme boogie business from longstanding German beat operator Jayl Funk; taking a classic Herbie Hancock/WAR style bassline, laying it gracefully over a series of bolshy big beats and massaging it with flutes, cowbells, horns and party noises, it's an instant party starter that people will recognise without ever hearing it previously. Looking for more of a 80s electro boogie twist with subtle shards of early Guy Called Gerald? Jump on Caz's version. You got the funk!

Hold That GrooveEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Funk, Quincy Jointz, TOSSES, Funky Boogie Brothers, SITUATION, TBC
Review: Jayl Funk is a leading German producer closely associated with Quincy Jointz and the Timewarp crew. Here he releases a one-off tune, "Hold That Groove" for Honkey Phonk. At just under four minutes, it's short, smoothly-produced slice of breakbeat funk that's impossible to remain seated around. If, somehow, limbs and torso's aren't moving then Zamali and Apedroid are on hand to deliver a harder, faster, funkier rocked-out version. Dancefloor gold!

Honkey Phonk Funk ExplosionEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Clairvo (MustBeat), Mr. Moon, Minimatic, Voodoocuts, Jayl Funk, Juno Recommends Funk, Quincy Jointz, Funky Boogie Brothers
Review: There's funk and then there's Phonk. This here EP is most certainly the latter, with Honkey Phonk deliver two raucous slices of delirious party-fuelled phonk. "Party People" pairs good time brass, bass and beats with some old skool hip hop MCing. "Dirty" is a low-slung joint with serious Stevie Wonder vibes.

Honkey Phonk Artist EP Vol 03EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Chudy, Zamali, Superbreak, Voodoocuts, Jayl Funk, Justin Johnson, Juno Recommends Funk, Killer Funk Records USA, Morlack, Essex Groove
Review: Once again Honkey Phonk's label boss Jayl Funk takes a backseat to let his roster shine, this time on a split-single. First up in Berlin-dwelling Voodoocuts, with a pulsating slice of brass and bass duelling, classic funk. On the proverbial flip is Morlack with a killer 'Bootsy goes hip-hop' electro-boogie workout.

Review: Rolling with vintage funk sounds, but driven by modern day production vibes, Honkey Phonk have curated quite the double-track delight here. Nic 2 Brilli's "Police On Your Back" staggers under the weight of old car chase and 70s TV and movie scores. With guitar solos and heavy percussion a-go-go this is instant wig-out material! Meanwhile Eu.Pe's "Bohannon" is a slower, moodier number with a just as much guitar solo twangs but more of a waft of classic hip-hop cool to it. Both are as cool as they are essential.
