Funk You Very Much Volume 26EXCLUSIVE
Review: Funking heck! Will Actual Sounds ever run out of party products? We're talking weekly releases here; each one as cheeky as the previous. Five cuts are on offer this time round, with three instantly recognisable bootlegs as Musical Youth's "Pass The Dutchy", Blur's "Song 2" and Chemical Brothers "Block Rocking Beats" all get a boisterous bulletproof nu funk coat. Elsewhere on the EP are two more understated dancefloor burners with heaps of originality and character. "Everybody Wobble" rides out on a vibrant 60s organ swing while "Free Funk" grooves its face off with a pitched down 2007-flavoured electro riff.

Phantom Booty BreaksEXCLUSIVE
Review: Premium booty-busters Actual Sounds unleash their mysterious in-house reversionista for this staggering 35 track compendium. Oozing references that sing back to dance music's most formative funky days, across the collection we're treated to versions of every possible dancefloor fave. From the bass-belching breakbeat take on Goldie's "Inner City Life" to the swinging filtered funk flex of Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" via a roof-demolishing rip off Baby D's "Let Me Be Your Fantasy" Actual Phantom has a repertoire that will make all music lovers smile with both nostalgia and total hedonism. Bootlegs are ten a penny in this game, but few are crafted and packaged with as much care and attention as this.

The Artist Series Vol 1EXCLUSIVE
Played by: Actual Sounds
Review: The Artist Series Volume 1 sees Actual Sounds gather together a bunch of their artists to provide an expansive selection of bootleg breaks, ghetto funk and jungle reworks of tracks from well-known artists, namely Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill. While there's a certain drunken office Christmas party silliness to the Fab Four reworks, the more hip-hop inclined reworks are much more successful. There are plenty of confirmed party-starters, from the synth-heavy P-funk breaks of Funky Wah Wah's "Beastie Noise (That's Resin Funk)", to Big Bang Breaks' multiple reworks of "Insane In The Brain" (the first of which, a straight-up party hip-hop take, is the bomb).

Funk Lovers EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Breakbeat
Review: Actual Sounds' most prolific of bootleggers, Funk You Very Much step up with their own four-tracker. "Clinty Boy" smelts Gorillaz with the Beasties to great (and gritty) effect, "Funk Lovers" rolls with a cool 60s guitar lick and processed filtered stabs, "Beatle Mania" kidnaps "Lady Madonna" and locks her up in a nu-funk basement while "No Bitch No Problem" gives A$AP Rocky a low-swung breakbeat facelift. Guaranteed party-pounders, the lot of them.

Hold Up EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Breakbeat
Review: Insanely large bootleg business right here; "Piano Problems" fuses the riff from Black Box's "Ride On Time" with Jay Z's "99 Problems". "Uptown Top Funking" marries Althea & Donna's "Uptown Top Ranking" with Alton Eliis's "I'm Still In Love" by way of swaggering big beats. "Hold Up" takes a snippet of DJ Kool's "Let Me Clear My Throat" and wraps it up in Featurecast style bass trembles and heaving sirens while "Jimi The Fox" provides the ultimate EP climax with a powerful rendition of, you've guessed it, "Foxy Lady". Seriously big.

Ghetto Mob Vol 2EXCLUSIVE
Review: Four of Actual Sounds' most accomplished bootlegateers unleash their best blends for this exclusive four-tracker. Party insanity is guaranteed from the off: "Ice In Outer Space" fuses The Prodigy with Ice T, "Muppet Funk" takes the Animal's classic solo piece "Mahna Mahna" and charges it with a cool funk break, "The Real Ritz" grabs Eminem and flips him back to 1920s prohibition US while "Regulate The Dogg" closes the show with a very smooth marriage of "Drop It Like It's Hot" and Nate Dogg and Warren G's "Regulate". Seriously fruity funk: Each one is a peach.

Special Fried FunkEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Frankee More, Actual Sounds, Juno Recommends Breakbeat, Hero Records, TURNTILL, Ez Icarus
Review: 32 tracks heavy, Actual Sounds have curated the ultimate booty breaks package right here. Each and every rub is a highlight, taking influence and sample inspiration from the '50s onwards. From the Little Richard-sampling "Tooty Frooty" to Big Bang Breaks' super-sexy take on Khia's naughty "My Neck My Back" ("Pussy Popper"), no genre or decade is left un-plundered. Taking things bang up to date, there's even a respectable bootleg of "Get Lucky" courtesy of Actual Phantom. Exclusive to Juno, this truly is an insane party package.

Wake The Funk UpEXCLUSIVE
Review: If your record bag/CD wallet/hard drive (delete as appropriate) is flagging under the weight of soul-sapping breakbeat bootlegs and ill-advised ghetto funk remixes, help is at hand. This compilation from Actual Sounds does contain plenty of sneaky bootlegs and ghetto funk style reworks (including one that bites "Sweet Home Alabama"), but they're all of a much higher quality than we've come to expect of late. There are snappy trips into boogie breaks territory (Big Bang Breaks' "French Funk"), wobble-funk (a thunderous version of the Jacksons' "Rockin' Robin") and Madchester revivalism ("Free Soup"), not to mention a string of booty-licious ghetto funk stompers. If this doesn't wake you up, nothing will.

Funk You Very Much Volume 23EXCLUSIVE
Review: Another volume in this fun 'n' fresh series of breaks-slanted mash up's sees The Jackson 5 get shook down to the ground on the excellent disco-rhythmed "Break Your Body Down", Will Smith getting a tough new set of beats on "Fresh Summertime", Dr Dre and Snoop's finest moment updated on "Gee Thang Twang" and perhaps best of all, Jona Lewie's '80s synth-pop classic getting nicely rejigged on 'You Will Always Find Him On The Decks At Parties".
