We’ve not had The Allergies on the ward since we posted their outstanding album ‘As We Do Our Thing‘, but that’s about to change right now as we send your way this reworked version of ‘Chasing The Funk’ with, Andy Cooper. If there’s ever a coming together of musical minds that was meant to be, this is it! Andy’s vocal skills are out of this world and always flow seamlessly over the funk n beats that are laid down by The Allergies and this new track is a fine example of that. No need to chase the funk, it’s right here!

Pecoe has impressed us massively this year with a constant stream of supercharged Funk and Disco flips, so we just had to send out an invite to him to be a part of this years advent giveaway. He glady accepted the invitaion and sent over this superb Funky Breaks rework of Parliment‘s classic ‘We Got The Funk’ and oh my, do we have the funk! It’s all yours for free and one to light up any party you’re hosting, so get the funk on it!

Feed off the funk from this flip of Pecoe’s and then be sure to check his Soundcloud page for more if you haven’t already done so.

Tomorrow we have music from, Wax Hands.

Straight outta Scotland, 18 09 Records is an independent House & Techno label putting out quality underground beats on a regular basis, we round up some recent releases…

Luca De Santo- Relevance EP

Some real peak time melodic techno right here. Deep, swimming synths, Hip Hop vox and pounding beats are the tasty ingredients for ‘Relevance 101′. ‘Relevance  102′ leans more towards House and has a nice Balearic feel to it, perfect for ‘Ibeefaaa!!!’

Oliver Jay- Lucky strike EP

Now this is a hulkingly huge EP!!! ‘Fake Piano’ in particular just leaps out of the speakers with ravey Korg M1 pianos and a bouncing sequence of pads and beats that fit perfectly with the populist style of Tech House. ‘Going Home’ completely flips the script to uplifting classic garage/deep house with vibey organs and pianos. Not content with being incredibly diverse already, Oliver Jay turns the tables once again with the funky/tribal beats of ‘It’s Good’.

Stonedove- Trouble 

We’ve been won over by a number of great tracks by Stonedove this year, here’s another one. A warm smile of a track that just keeps getting better. Lush pianos, shades of disco and those flutes!!! Oh My!!! Caveman turns in a excellent remix worthy of a Defected album and Libs does the same in his own upbeat style full of rich synth work.

18-09 Records Catch Up December 2016

The ‘Echo Valley’ album by, Afternoons In Stereo, is one that I’ve been meaning to post for a few days now. Like many other music bloggers I’m sure, I listen to music while writing about to make sure the feel of the music comes through in the words written. This album though has caused some minor issues as it’s left me unable to think or do anything, simply because of it’s sheer beauty and gorgeous downtempo vibe. I’m a huge lover of music that flicks the ‘think’ button off because with so much going on in the world, stepping into a softly padded bubble to float away with just good music, is absolute bliss.

‘Echo Valley’ has been released on the amazing Greek label, Timewarp Music and contains 13 tracks that take you on a tripped-out psychedelic journey into a fusion of Jazz and Funk. It’s music that’ll reach in every corner of your mind, opening doors you never knew were there and behind them, good times, the best times. Dive in and see for yourself.

Buy ‘Echo Valley’ here from Bandcamp.

Although Nicky ‘D’Silva‘ has been all about Drum n Bass since he started on his solo venture, he heads back to a sound that many will most associate him with, tearout, hell for leather Breakbeat! His remix of ‘Reste’ by, Noir & Oliver Giacomotto, pulls no punches and delivers a massive amount of bass! It’s bound to be one of the tunes that gets rinsed at parties and why not, this’ll have your whole street bouncing!

Left/Right never ceases to amaze us when it comes to releasing music that you just cannot stop listening to. If there was a chart for the biggest releases of 2016, it would be littered with his music and his brand new remix of Radiohead‘s ‘Codex’ would definitely be in contention for the top slot! ‘Epic’ is a word that can often be attached to easily to music sometimes but one listen of this remix and you’ll soon discover that it’s more than worthy of that tag. Breathtaking, beautiful, it’s a goosebump making machine!

Waitz features on a string of top Tech House/House labels such as Madtech. He makes a lasting impact joining Daylight Robbery with 2 huge tracks and in good company with top class remixes from Matteo Rosolare/JoJo Angel & Quentin van Honk.

The title track to this essential EP is disco funkin’ epicness, pure jackin’ club house action all the way.  Matteo Rosolare & JoJo Angel take this title track in a very different direction, we’re talking bangin’ drums and hard Detroit Techno stabbage for the clubbers that like to go properly crazy!!!

Quentin van Hook gives his take on ‘Bring The House Back’, another very Techno leaning remix with added snatches of breakbeats and a heavy bassline with loads of nice echo and reverb.

‘Lose Control’ is a nice busy track with tons of great arangements. This one is firmly on the Warehouse vibe with a very familiar vocal in usage. This crack team of commandos have definitely brought the house back!!!

US Bass House heavyweight label Night Bass welcome Russian duo, Volac to the fold. ‘Do Ya Thing’ they said so Volac did just that!!!

The title track is a quirky bouncing rhythm, beats drop in and out of the mix, a freaky female vox tell us to ‘Do Ya Thing’ and a bassline fizzes and bubbles along in compelling fashion.

UK Bass House fans will find instant appeal in ‘Open Your Mind’, a funky UKG influenced track a la Chris Lorenzo style.

‘Listen’ Ft Abrax Phaeton kicks off with some breakbeats, a prelude to a serious cowbell workout and low-end bass that would melt the Siberian snow!!!

Be warned, music like this is highly addictive, you may find yourself spending your entire day hitting the repeat button!!!
