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.

Review: Although they've been dabbling with releases on the bassier and glitchy side of things of late, for their newest signing Scour are on an electro-swing tip. However, the Groove Gigolos EP doesn't tackle the genre in a straight up manner, opting instead for a wider interpretation of the style. "Reflections" takes a familiar Charleston-style melody and fuses it with chuggy bass and staccato beats. "Can't Hold Back" again takes vintage samples and marries 'em to tough breakbeats sprinkled with some MC vocals. The style hopping continues further with even some dobby reggaeton ("Swing Mi Food") and even D&B soul ("J&B").
