Review: Nirvana seem to have avoided the all-consuming bootleg machine. With the exception of a few rubs of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" they've remained relatively untouched - until now. The clue's in the nom-de-plume: the unidentifiable K Kobain takes "Drain You", twists Cobain's sermon into a heart-shaped sine wave and fuses it with walloping, industrial strength breakbeats, cheeky LFO-style bleeps and snappy, snarling grater-bass. With serious attention paid to the razor-riddim, this certainly isn't your standard 'cut n shut' style bootleg. There's even an instrumental to show just how heavy the groove is. Exceptional.

Review: The uber-prolific Stex wraps up his planet series with a clutch of killer remixes of his cut n' choppy "Earth". Geon goes straight for the breakbeat G-spot with a pumping tech funk remix that's not dissimilar to Elite Force's material, McTwist's remix opts for a more playful jam with a killer build up and a classic Finger Lickin' style bass riff, Jazz K Lipa's rendition is more contemporary with plenty of high-end bleeps and whistles while The Random Scarves give it a beastly 4/4 electro facelift.

Review: How are your air slap bass skills? You best polish up as you're going to need them. "The Rhyme Weapon" oozes funk before we even get to the spitfire party-pimped vocal sermon. "Assault" takes this flavour and translates it through synth-bass. Rolling with the same pummelling breakbeat swing but with instrumental clarity and edge, if you didn't know any better you'd say it's a Rennie Pilgrem joint. "Drive" finishes the set with scratchy, croaky bass slurs, hints of acid and more of an organic swashbuckle to the beats. Quintessential breakbeat.

Review: Stex's journey around the solar system touches down closer to home as we hit "Earth". With the jaunty, glitchy acid-based groove you could be fooled into thinking the landing will be bumpy, but with a heaven-sent synth blast on the drop, it's actually one of Stex's smoothest inter-planetary connections to date. Looking to land with a little more glamour and mischief? Head for the percussion heavy vocal version. Happy landings!

Review: Young NRG boss Stex continues his party-primed planetary series with "Mars". A little more sedate and understated than his usual swag, "Mars" thumps softly with a warm kick drum pattern and subtle use of a string sample. Hankering for Stex's more trademark chaos? Don your white gloves, toot that whistle as loud as you can and jump straight on his "Acid Break" remix. Heavy.

Review: Homeboy Stex lands on his favourite Young NRG Productions for another hip-twisting, ear-shattering house-breaks appointment. This time we get the original mix, a 4/4 bric-a-brac of shuffling percussion, squawking low frequencies, sci-fi atmospherics and breaky electro tones, surely making this an instant classic on whichever dance floor it lays its clutches on. However, the Filter Tribal remix is the one, and it makes the arrangement even more of a pleasure to listen to, adding in a fine concoction of straight hi-hats and, well...delightful tribal bongo drums!

Review: There's something full-throated and breathless about Stex's "Gimme Da Funk". A nuggety breakbeat roller, its built around formidable funk bass and waves of Fatboy Slim-esque electronic tweakery. Norman Cook comparisons are pretty accurate; there's something of the halcyon days about it, and the cheeky vocal recalls Mr Cook's work with Bootsy Collins. The Electro Edition mix breaks up the beats, building pressure thanks to a shuffling, off-kilter drum pattern and some mighty vocal edits. It's more spacious than the original, but equally as big. A pleasing blast from the past, all told.

Review: Bungee funking? Now there's a sport we've not tried yet. What does it involve? Judging by the frazzled, frenetic funk on offer here, bungee funking must entail a buzz on a bungee jump while playing a massive call-to-action trumpet riff, or slamming out a sweet swing breakbeat on the drums, or razzing out a parptastic p-funk jam on the bass, or chewing away on a tasty talkbox - wow! The extreme methods Stex will do to make a tune these days is beyond us...

Review: Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Young NRG boss Stex continues his unstoppable quest for world funkiness with this pumped up piece of premium party breaks. Bouncing and bounding at a swift 140 and oozing slap bass, purse-lip horn blasts and guitars set at wukka-wukka level 10, his Wine Chees & Funky remix is the sure fire shindig tickler while the Jungle Funky mix adds a little freestyle jazz sensibility and experimental flavour to proceedings. Extra? Stextra more like!

Review: Here's a good one - next time someone stops and asks you whether you've got the time, slap your headphones on their lugholes and play them this. They'll thank you for it: the only time that matters is "Electro Swing Time", and in their heart they'll know this. Across the whole EP expect to find myriad dusty, crackled piano, brass and woodwind riffs, all looped with jaunty jacking glee. Highlights abound but the slinky snake-charming vibes of Stex's "Bee Bop" and Patty Eagle's juddering funky prohibition homage "Gangster Story" represent the EP with the highest accolades.

Review: In 1989, the seeds of Italy's long-running Young NRG label were originally sown by Acid Jazz enthusiast Stefano Ricci (aka DJ Stex). Back in the 90s he hooked up with fellow jazz fan Teo Ederle to create the Dasya project. Since then they claim that their sounds has evolved from electroclash and jungle(!), but always stays true to their 'hip-jazz roots'. This new single is certainly a universe away from the former genres, and instead displays a more mature, downtempo approach. Over the five tracks we get shimmering broken beat ("Blefuscudian"), trippy bhangra ("Gulliver"), loungey funk ("King") and blissed-out slo-jazz ("Sgregk").

Review: And so the most prolific producer the breaks scene has ever seen continues his funk assault. This time he's taken Trouble Funk's seminal "Drop The Bomb" and given us the choice of two different re-takes. The Go Go remix relies heavily on the bass and vocals while the Bomb Funky uses the main riff and percussion. Just check those swinging live drum rolls and you'll be hooked.

Stex feat Kit Carson
Review: Known more for his party-fuelled sample mastery, here we find Stex operating on a much ravier flex with the able assistance of Kit Carson. Bubbling acid, classic synths and retro ambient twinkles are the order of the day, leaving us floundering somewhere in Orbital's fridge or LFO's sock drawer. Kit's own remix is a much spikier affair with rusty hi-hats and more assertive top-end hook. Naughty.

Review: And so the unstoppable Stex machine continues to grasp the nu-funk and breaks scenes with unrivalled energy and attitude. Here we find him handing over the controls for a remix package of noxious proportions. "Last Pharaon" featured on his Super Funky Nation album last month and here it's been re-touched by Horny Andy (classic elastic breaks with just a dash of electro), The Random Scarves (deeper and dramatic with just a dash of acid) Kit Carson (b-boy rave with just a dash of techno) and Pump The Break (pensive and precise, not dissimilar to early Evil Nine).

Review: While the lion's share of Young NRG Productions' output tastes of fruity-funk and primed party pieces, there's a darker side to the Italian label's output. And, nine times out of ten, it comes directly from the twisted minds of Damage Breaks. Their version of "AVP" is like a slowed down Concorde Dawn record, or Ils meets Ed 209 down a dark alley. Meanwhile, Stex's version is rounder, chubbier affair but, thanks to farting filter on the bass melody it still creates major screwfaces whenever dropped. Big.
