2001 was a good year for the Breaks scene, the beginnings of the highly followed Nu Skool breaks era and the emerging of familiar artists such as Rennie Pilgrem and BLIM. This set was recoreded LIVE at Groovetech Radio back in January of 2001 and showcases a lot of tunes from TCR (Thursday Club Recordings) part of which Rennie Pilgrem was the label boss and BLIM (a classically trained musician) one of it’s top artists at the time. Hope you enjoy this glimpse back into the past !

The Funkee Wadd recorded this LIVE set from the Arcade Stage at the Electric Love Music Festival on a Friday night. Performing alongside other artists such as Wood N Soo, Skiitour, Slynk and Father Funk. This mix itself is a bit more heavier than a usual Funkee Wadd set but still a great one none the less full of Bass, Glitch and Funk.

2016 has been a climatic year for Loadstar, having played the UK’s

biggest festival stages seeing them once again gear up for a string of club

releases.The anticipation is slowly growing with each fresh sonic piece of

artwork and after the critical acclamation which has followed their career

it’s easy to see why. Whether it’s the gritty basslines the guys are known

for, or the more melodic rollers which have peppered their sets recently,

they’ve stuck to a versatile soundscape and this output will be no different.

The next stepping stone in their colossal release schedule is ‘Channel

the Channel’ and ‘Encarta’. Both tracks platform quick-firing beats and the

quickly processing basslines apparent throughout the darker side of their

discography.

‘Change the Channel’ sets a precedent. Rolling forward on an

incredibly deceiving intro, one which focuses on a melody that resurfaces

at various segments, although you’re soon dropped into absolute chaos.

Reminiscent of their earlier productions, yet bringing together more

harmonious elements, you’re drawn into a sound which merges two ends

of the spectrum. Snatching hooks snare themselves within the mix, before

the track slowly begins to collect itself. A flicker of cinematic sample

breaks this down quickly, once more throwing you head first into a

smashing relay of breaks.

Bouncier and hitting harder with every kick drum, ‘Encarta’ follows

with clicking hi-hats and warbling bass notes which build with every layer.

A track that heavily relies on its build up, the track is diced up into

segments and with each part you’re thrown down a conundrum of

smashing percussion. A construction line of drums hit harder and harder

with every loop pattern and you’ll be unable to pull yourself out of the

track’s composition. It’s so tightly woven, Loadstar’s ingenious design

becomes very clear.

Igniting crowds worldwide, whether in Las Vegas or at

Glastonbury, Loadstar have returned with more fire than ever.

The big day has finally arrived and it’s now time for us all to join in the celebrations with Fort Knox Five as they roll out their 100th release. As we mentioned not too long ago when we brought you the world exclusive of their ‘Funk The World 36‘ mixtape, the release is well worthy of such an occasion.

Fort Knox Five’s ‘Pressurize The Cabin Remixed’ album is the release that everyone who encounters it will get overly excited about. Rightly so to because on the album are 20 of the biggest remixes from their masterpiece that is ‘Pressurize The Cabin‘. When we say ‘biggest remixes’ we really mean ‘biggest remixes’ because featuring on the new album is a bunch of immensely talented producers from all around the world with many of them being household names, well, to all of us cool cats anyway.

You can find filthy, bass heavy Glitch Hop from, The Funk Hunters, Father Funk, Basement Freaks, Bobby C Sound TV, Sammy Senior, J*Labs and Warp9. To cleanse the mind just a little after all that filth, Slynk, All Good Funk Alliance, Farid, Ursula 1000, Smalltown DJs, SkiiTour and DJ Dan & Mike Balance all offer remixes with varying flavours of Nu-Disco, Indie Dance and House. Deekline and Wes Smith weigh in with a couple of Breakbeat rockers each and to keep Fort Knox Five’s eclectic sound rolling, Bart & Baker bring the swing, Knight Riderz provide a mind altering Trap remix and Thunderball (FK5’s alter ego) smashes out a huge D n B remix. It goes without saying that all of these tracks are laced with the feel good Funk Fort Knox Five are so well known for. There is definitely something for everyone on this amazing album, that you can be sure of.

The album is also a tribute to the always missed and always remembered, Jon Horvath. It’s one year now since he sadly left the world but his spirit shines bright through the entirety of ‘Pressurize The Cabin Remixed’. One of the best albums you could ever own? You betcha!

Buy  ‘Pressurize The Cabin Remixed’ here from Bandcamp.
