Box Rocket - Avalanche Psychiatrist

Box Rocket - Avalanche Psychiatrist

Equipment:
2 x Bristol's fastest rising producers, Ewan Hoozami and Dave Remix.
1 x Laboratory filled with an arsenal of synths, instruments and records.
1 x underground classic

Method:
Deconstruct underground classic. Cook up some vicious bass. Sprinkle with crunchy percussion. Assemble using the equation fat (tough & funky) = dancefloors liquidised.

Conclusion:
Two of Bristol's hottest producers, Ewan Hoozami and Dave Remix, combine forces to drop science on the world of mid-tempo breaks. Fusing pelvis-rattling bass with tough breakbeats and lashings of psychedelic soul, Box Rocket announces their arrival on the scene with a first glimpse of their debut EP.

FREE album from Johnny Pluse

Irish badboy Johnny pluse is back... not that he's been away long. A free album just in time for xmas, and a tasty one too. It's almost like a covers album... straight sampling and reworking a dozen or so classic party starters, often not changing all that much of the originals, just giving them a little re-rub and maximising their dancefloor impact. I'm really impressed at the song choices and the subtlety of this... many people think you have to completely re-invent songs you remix, but JP shows you can just add a little love and come out with some serious heat! There's a lot of fun going on here... check out the previews

New release - Johnny pluse 'The Market Street Cut Up'

Ya boy Hoozami is back once again with the ill behaviour... 

5 releases out since November 6th! FIVE! Pretty amazing really, I've had a great year. Thanks to everyone for their support. My last release of 2011 could well be my favourite. I've been feeling my hip-hop roots recently (seems the less fashionable hip-hop gets, the more I love it) and this remix of Johnny Pluse's banger 'The Market Street Hustle' is one of my favourite compositions to date. A mixture of 90's style rugged, fat beats, dubby bass and almost ethereal, James Blake'esque lead synths, with a smattering of 90's rave whistle and a drum n bass middle section thrown in... my remix spans several genres while always sounding hip-hop, and yet properly loaded for the dancefloor. 
And my version is only one of 11 fantastic remixes available on this new release. this really is a late contender for EP of the year. Check the official Juno Review below. And, as ever, please support this release by buying it today.

Official Juno Review:
A simply epic remix release of Johnny Pluse's "The Market Street Cut Up" hits the virtual racks this week - a total of eleven mixes in all, including Bristolian beat masher Ewan Hoozami's phat hip hop remake, Dum N Bass's jump-up retread, Funkanomics' nu-funk, cut 'n' paste mix and Mustbeat Crew's MPC-styled version. For a pure bass-gasm, check out Rory Hoy's maxxed-out, pushing-into-the-red belter that loads plenty of pleasing distortion into JP's original.

Pulpfusion - Street Art EP OUT NOW

2011 has very definitely been the Year of The Remix for me... think I've only written 2 or 3 original songs all year. Instead I have been on an almost constant remixing tip... reworking great songs by the likes of Telephunken, Johnny Pluse, Mr Bird, Mustbeat Crew and many more. One of the most popular remixes I did was my first remix for Swiss badman Pulpfusion, of his track 'Sex, Drums, Funk, n Roll'. Following the success of that release, I'm proud to present my second Pulpfusion remix... this time a darker, deeper hip-hop jam called Street Art. Please support this great release by buying a copy today.

Funk Against Fascism - Out Nov 4th

 

'Funk Against Fascism' is a charity compilation raising money for 'Love Music, Hate Racism'.

Artists from Birmingham to Brazil have come together to create an eclectic album representing the broad spectrum of breakbeat sounds, from chilled out funky hip-hop to fierce, bassline-driven acid.

Every penny of the artists' and label's royalties will go directly to the charity, which supports anti-racist and anti-fascist activity and runs campaigns urging people to vote against fascist candidates in elections.

No other charity celebrates cultural differences like 'Love Music, Hate Racism' and no other music genre revels in sonic diversity more than the breaks scene. It's a match made in heaven.

Tracklist:

1. Fort Knox Five - Funk 4 Peace ft. Mustafa Akbar & Shunda K (Deekline & Ed Solo Remix)

2. tOtALcULt - One World

3. Super Combo Funk - I Don't Need No Dope

4. BadboE - Stop, What's That Sound?

5. DJ Soo - Feelin' Sanctified

Anyway, enough about decor, check out the vibes!
