It’s been just over a month since we last heard from our resident fat beat selector, The Beat-Pimp. His last exclusive mix for us, volume 14 of his ‘Pimpology’ series, was pitched just perfect to fend off post Christmas blues with a superb selection of chilled funky Hip Hop. For volume 15 though, he’s back smashin’ it hard with his 40 minute mix that’s fuelled by Glitch Hop and of course, Funk. His last 3 mixes for us have been enjoyed by plenty of people and we’re sure his new one will have them all hitting the play button once again. Buckle up folks, The Beat-Pimp is in town!

Download ‘Pimpology 15′ here from our Hearthis page.

Marco Strous touches down on Jump Digital with double delight Tech House release ‘I’ll Show You.’ The title track has a touch of the Low Steppa style to it with slamming beats, a propane fueled build and drop and Hip Hop sirens. ‘Told You So’ veers toward a quirkier direction with minimal beats, stabs and synths that breathe lightly over the drums and a kooky sample that adds to the instant gratification. Great stuff!!!

Rave-enka takes the raver’s route down memory lane with 2 track release ‘Friksjon’ on Beatservice. 2 tracks of off-kilter 90’style synth action plus a couple of secret weapons in the form of remixes from Chris Massey & Kohib.

HNQO brings a South American style to the Techno sound with the ‘White Stripe EP’ on Playperview. The title track is drenched in the sun and dusty streets of Sau Paulo and Rio De Janeiro, a mellow ride that tantalises and delights in equal measure. ‘The Clapper’ is darker, more surreal and unsettling as if migrating from Brazil to Detroit. Two contrasting cuts for the connoisseurs and dance floor freaks alike!!

Andy Compton & Rogiérs give us the deep dive vocal house track ‘Feel Free’ on Viva Recordings. Gentle chords sit nicely alongside Rogiérs’ smooth vocal delivery creating a sense of longing in the listener along with vibes like feeling the sun in your face. Even on the instrumental this track still sounds great. Don’t be without this!!!

With several new tunes in the pipeline, German producer, Forrest Funk, is here to keep us entertained with this sublime mashup of his. He’s blended Fort Knox Five‘s ‘Reach’ with ‘Real Hip Hop’ by Das EFX and the result is a very tasty and horn heavy slab of funky Hip Hop that you’ll soon find you need in your possession!

The mashup was created so that it could feature on Forrest Funk’s ‘BAAANG’ mix he dropped a couple of weeks ago. It kicks off on real smooth note but soon gets going with a bevy of bangers to make your party jump. Give it a spin below.
