Scour

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.

No One Above EP
No One Above (WBBL remix) - (3:35) 126 BPM Hot
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!

Residential Area EP
Lock It Off - (4:01) 125 BPM
Review: The breakbeat flavours are well and truly alive here as the Crash Party touches down on the popular Scour imprint for a four track shell out. We begin the journey on the twisted bass synths and uplifting horn scatters of the title track 'Residential Area', before relaxing the high energy tone a tad on the more laid back styles of 'Funk Groove'. To follow, 'Throw Your Hands', which is a fidgety scratch party, laced with hardcore vocal samples and bouncy piano leads, before finishing up the selection on the more 4x4 inspired drum work and patois vocal finesse of 'Lock It Off'.

Do You Like It EP
Funkyass Bassline - (5:26) 127 BPM
Just Drop (feat Skank Spinatra) - (4:32) 128 BPM
Review: As expected, Mr Stabalina returns with his uniquely wonky breakbeat stylings for his brand new EP 'Do You Like It'. We begin with the futuristic grooves and vocal slices of 'Put Your Hands Up' before dropping into the smoothly arranged hip hop designs of the title track. Next up 'The Hump' with its electronic leads and nostalgic sampling taking lead roles before we land on the fidgety inspired stylings of 'Funkyass Bassline'. Finally we round off with the scratch heavy house creation 'Just Drop', complete with funky electro riffs and punchy drum work.

Size Matters EP
Size Matters - (4:06) 126 BPM
Stop The Moon - (4:08) 126 BPM
Troublesome - (4:09) 128 BPM
Review: Electro-swing. Done to death right? Wrong! Bristol's Extra Medium almost uniquely takes samples of similar 1920s and '30s jazz age ditties that everybody does but fuses them with a very British bass sound. Here we get served five sizzling jams to loose or s**t to. Highlights include the antique Mediterranean grooves of "Beatnik Boogie", brought up to date with some killer UK bass attitude, the thumping staccato wobble of "Stop The Moon" and the accelerated sing-along garagey break-step of "Troublesome".

Captain Flatcap LP
Filth Wizard - (5:08) 128 BPM
Review: It was 4 years ago when Scour Records happened upon the phenomenon in waiting three-piece Captain Flatcap, playing to two men and a dog in some best-forgotten dive. Now its 2016 and it's different story indeed, the world is beginning to be seduced by the madcap fusion of styles that Chris, Tom and Matt uniquely provide. Now here is their eponymous album to take things to the next level. There are 10 tracks to enjoy; our favourites include the melodic dubstep-meets-ye-olde-flute music of "Awakening", the pulsating medieval trance of "Sergei's Journey" and the DnB mayhem of closer "Are You Me?".

Scoured Swing Vol 01
Various
Just Peach - "Jimmy's Swing" - (4:03) 125 BPM
Review: From their recent online musings, it seems that the award-winning Scour Records seem to be as equally fond of the other type of swinging as they are the style of music they've done so well at releasing thus far. Thankfully here we're only about the music and what a lot of it there is on Scoured Swing Vol 1. Here label owner DJ Spinforth selects eight of the best new jams around. Highlights include the classy, laid back opener "About Me" by The Fritz, the dubstep-meets-Charleston vibes of "Swingers" by Father Funk and the epic electro-swing monster "Cufflinks & Caviar" by Tuxedo Junction.
