Love your House Music Funky, Jazzy, and Psychedelic? Then Nicolas Meyer has four perfect jams to fill that void for you. His ‘Devil Cell’ EP is filled with sunshine soaked hazy grooves like the title track and tracks like the off-kilter ‘Always Drunk People’

‘Pornonaut’ sounds like Miles Davis jamming with a Digital Audio workstation and ‘The Folding Man’ transports us to a smoke-filled Jazz club with it’s spaced out swirls and deep bassline. This is a very fine EP indeed. Get it from the Closer To Truth imprint from Beatport 29/08/16 and 12/09/16 on all good download stores

It wasn’t too long ago that Nick Behrmann was testing the foundations of the ward with his ‘Lost Transfer‘ EP and now he’s back doing it again! This time it’s his intense and insanely good Acid infused Techno track ‘Twister’ that is doing the damage, both to the structure of the building and our minds! In for remix duties of Nick’s track is, Beat Tempest, who throws the cloak of darkness over the original which gives it a more sinister vibe. Both tracks are amazing and will have you zoned out and locked on from beginning to end, so press play to make your day!

After The Funk Fury‘s free EP ‘Almanac’ lit up the ward, we’ve been looking forward to hearing even more from him. Luckily for us all that day has arrived and we can share with you his latest offering ‘Supa Legal’, a slab of Funky Breaks with a distinct Brazilian flavour so you can throw in a bit of Samba to your very best moves. Great sounds!

Back in 2004, Angelos Stoumpos aka, Timewarp, was hugely influenced and inspired by the Nu-Funk and Dub Electronica sounds that were around. He knew that in his homeland of Greece those styles of music were lacking and knew this had to change, so he went about creating his very own label, Timewarp Music.

From 2004 to the present day, Timewarp Music has grown massively and has released a staggering amount of high quality music. There’s over 500 tracks to be found on the labels Soundcloud page which is enough to keep anyone highly entertained for a very long time. With all these successful releases it might go without saying that Angelos has created one of the go to labels for all things Nu-Funk, Nu-Disco, Dub and Breaks. I’ve dug in to a small portion of what’s available from Timewarp Music and I can assure you that I will be digging a lot deeper in the future.

Should all those words need backing up, check out the fifth compilation album in their ‘Freestyle 4 Funk’ series and you’ll soon see why the label is one you really need to keep tabs on. 16 tracks make up the album that’s features a incredible selection of old, new and unreleased tracks in Downtempo, Dub, Reggae, Nu-Funk, Soul and Breaks styles. The range in styles means there will always be something different around the corner which will have locked on with excitement to see what’s up next. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “there’s some seriously good albums to have graced the ward this year” and this one from Timewarp Music is right up there with the best of em!

Although ForrestFunk keeps himself busy as one third of the Swiss collective, Break Boutique, he does like to dabble, just a little, in making his own tunes. For that we can be very grateful because, as you’re about to hear, this dude really knows how to bring the funk! Just check his impeccable regroove of ‘What The People Gon’ Say’ by Reuben Wilson and you’ll know exactly what we mean. He’s one producer I’m sure we’ll be featuring again, that’s for sure!

Download ForrestFunk’s regroove here via Hypeddit.

The fifth in the series of multiple artist EPs on Something Different Again begins with some rolling epic Acid/Tech House from Daniel Allen & Hector Moran. Transitioning from squelchy 303s into peak time Techno next up is Jose Vilches ‘Royal Moby’.
