UK-based Scour Records was set up in 2012 by Spinforth to showcase the funkiest of breakbeat cuts known to ‘squirrels’. The label appeared after Spinforth, accompanied by his Hong Kong Ping Pong collective members, Morphosis and Fat Harry, embarked on their musical ‘scour’ in 2011 for Bristol-based breaks brand Ghetto Funk: a ‘quest...to seek out the choicest cuts from the freshest, often unheard of, producers ploughing their trade on SoundCloud’. Scour Records has so far unearthed ‘the creamiest of the crop’ from artists including: J-Sound, Father Funk, Cockney Nutjob, WBBL, Mr Stabalina, The Fritz, Beat Le Juice and more.
Review: Next up from Mood Swing & Chevy Bass, we see them joining forces with Cheshire alongside the Scour imprint for a vibrant collection of heaters, exploring the future breakbeat in absolute style. First up, the distant guitar plucks and lethal drum work of 'No One Above' explores unique percussive processing and a subtle sense of euphoria throughout, before WBBL gives the track a fidget-inspired overhaul, diving into quacking synthesiser squelches and more. We then see Swim INC join the party for the constantly alternating synthy crunches of 'Higher', followed by an extended mix of 'No One Above' to close the project down in style. A truly fiery collection, which when you see the names of the tin, makes perfect sense!
Review: Extra Medium is a producer equally known for his iconic moustache as much as his unique skill in turning 20s and 30s obscurities into bass heavy monsters. Ever one for generous notions of sizing, here he gives us five new sizzlers. From the raw-blues-meets-menacing-electro-thump of "Blues Boogie Bass", to the gentle acoustic breeze of "Lazy Bones" via the buzzsaw-Charleston of "Go Away". 4 times World DMC Champion Mr Switch and horn man Cab Canavaral both appear on the Jazz Age-stepper "Size Up" and the dubsteppy "Swinggae".
