Review: We don't know much about Bougee Bandolini, and this party-starting three-tracker appears to be the producer's debut single. It's an intriguing, action-packed and unashamedly floor-focused affair, with Bandolini combining his own beats with borrowed vocals and extensive samples from well-known classics. Lead cut 'Champion Eagle (Disc0beta Mix)' sees the producer deliver a mash-up style revision of Steve Miller Band's 'Fly Like an Eagle', which he's looped, tooled-up percussively (it now features chunky hip-hop beats) and combined with a rough-voiced ragga vocal. 'Space Trippin (Temponauts Remix)' is effectively a chunky, updated re-edit of 'Like an Eagle', while 'More FiYa (d0b & LGJ) a druggy, slow-motion chugger in which a dancehall acapella stretches out across familiar-sounding, pitched-down synth riffs and a head-nodding funk rock groove.
Review: We have to send a massive shout out to Left Hand Lucy Recordings on this next selection as they unveil a wicked new feature length project from the one and only discObeta, delivering twelve tracks of funk-inspired breakbeat goodness. There really aren't any moments of quality dip, with the high standards starting on bulbous drum bangs and smooth rap vocals of 'Who Da Phunk', continuing through to the big room synth smashes and dubwise chord progression of 'Jive Hill' and all the way through to the glittering disco textures of 'Bring It To Me'. We would definitely recommend taking in the full project as a long play experience, but for our highlights, we would have to single out super sample work of 'Booty Whomp', next to the super creative synthetic jitters of 'Worthwhile' and of course the again dub-influenced chord structures of 'Blaque Ghost', giving an extra level of versatility to a very solid tracklisting.
