All Things Bass Round Up 03.11.14

Electro Swing Roundup – October / November 2014

First off better apologise for last month… starting your own business means that time suddenly becomes very precious and unfortunately last month didn’t make the cut. Still just means that this month is better than ever.

If I was you lot I’d ask for your money back…

Darkside of the Electro Swing Ball Since I’ve been starting to get on top of my work at Vintage Wedding DJ, I thought it was time to get back into another project and so it has to be time to run another event. We’ve been promising to get the scandalous scamps of electro swing up to Shropshire for a while and so we’re delighted to be welcoming Dutty Moonshine up to join us for our next Electro Swing Ball. We’re going in deeper and darker for this one (definitely would suit the readers of this blog well) so if you live anywhere near the West Midlands come join us for one all mighty shakedown. Getting dressed up is de rigueur for our events and we’ve got another cracking lineup which also features Free Breaks Blog’s head honcho Bertie Dastard, ghetto funkster Supabad (who was very appropriately christened James Brown by his parents – how cool???), hosted as ever by the Delightful Mrs Rickard, Liberty Pink as jazz singer extraordinaire and compère, award winning burlesque from Verity Grey, and myself..? Well I’m doing the premiere of my new VJ set called DJR presents Swing The Silver Screen. It’s gonna be stunning.

Slamboree & Caravan Palace @ Electric Brixton, Nov 15th

Also forthcoming is very impressive lineup on the 15th of November down in London-town. The Electric Brixton parties have been building up a great reputation and they return with the new show by festival legends Slamboree topping the bill, (this is one collective that everyone should experience at least once) along with electro swing legends Caravan Palace providing a DJ set, and also plenty of FBB favorites in the shape of Featurecast, Father Funk, Rumpsteppers, DJ Pony Montana, Dr. Malaka and DJ Chris Tofu.  For those haven’t been to the Electric Brixton  – it’s a stunning 1700 capacity period style venue which lends itself to this style of hoedown perfectly and it has been sold out for all of its events recently. I’m going to be down there to experience it all first hand so I’ll be reporting back next month on the biggest shakedown in the swing world.

See you on the dancefloor.

Free Music Let’s kick off with a strong start… The Flatcap boys have been adding some squelch to Get Up Stand Up. Good shit.

Kaptin and his Big Swing Soundsystem have turned a tidy bootleg in here:

Copycat getting funky again:

This is good. Quality swing & balkan vibes with Nikola Vujicic on the remix:

The grime sound of Dizzee Rascal has been matched up with some funky balkan beats on this tidy freebie from Smokey Joe & The Kid. Download.

Liking this, nice deep groove from the debut EP by Mortisville.

I might be pretty godless, but this makes me want to go to church. Yes yes electro-gospel goodness!

FOR THE REST OF THIS POST CLICK READ MORE!!!

There’s not been that many Frank Sinatra remixes done yet, but this ain’t bad from Phylo. Available from his  facebook.

Grant Lazlo going in deep…

Very housey this but it does have a nice little swing style break in the middle:

Not heard of Finger Tanzen before but this is quite interesting.

Tomahawk back on the electro blues tip:

More Tomahawk:

Okay it’s not strictly swing or vintage but I could see this sneaking in amongst your ghetto swing tracks:

Smoother jazzy styling here from Extra Medium:

Dr Hooka here tweaking Basschimps vintage, bass & hip hop:

There’s a whole mix of style going on with this from very new to very old. You decide.

Not sure how to describe this either. Worth a listen though:

New Releases Sound Nomaden – Madame It’s great to see that Sound Nomaden has finally released his debut album. With a whole range of different instruments used and combining influences as diverse as swing, jazz, folk, ska and even classical there’s lots to check out on here.

Mouthful o’ Jam, Vol. 2 – Selected by DJ Swing Maniac DJ Swing Maniac has been doing great work reminding us all where this music called swing originated on this his second volume of Mouthful o’ Jam. It’s released on Green Queen and is perfect for those 1920’s parties where you want to play some of the original goodness that got it all going. Available from itunes.

DJ Dunya – Xyloswing Good to see DJ Dunya getting a good EP out on none other than Freshly Squeezed Records. Get your good swingy stuff from Juno.

Swingrowers – Midnight Swingrowers have a new single out on Freshly Squeezed – this uplifting and joyous slice of live swing sounds great to me. Get it from juno.

Peps Show Boys / Louis Armstrong / Sebastian Roeser – Electroswing Show Here’s a strong release to check out on Chinchin Germany. Good uplifting and funky stuff. Available from Juno.

Kid Kasino – Trick or Treat EP You may miss Halloween now, but certainly don’t miss checking this out from Kid Kasino. Particularly like Headless Horseman which I’m sure would always fit into a set at any time of year.

Phil Mac – Be There Too Congratulations to Phil Mac for his first release on his own Spare Room Records. Good luck – you deserve to be really successful because your records have always been great. Available from beatport

Frizzo – Betty Swing EP Glasgows Frizzo has a new two track EP out on Billybong. Available from Juno.

Gentlemen Callers of LA – The Harlem Renaissance Forthcoming on Green Queen Music is the this tasty little number. Mixing a solid deep beat with some jazzy licks this record will go down a storm. Remix action is done by none other than Bart & Baker. Available from Juno from the 18th of November.

DJ Mixes With a number of Halloween flavored swing releases out at the moment such as the Kid Kasino one above, there seem to be quite a few Halloween mixes around too. Here’s Cab Canavaral’s offering:

And another solid offering from the prolific Doctor Hooka:

That’s it. See you in a month! If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud.

BUSTA – #TB13 (Vinyl Edits Mix)

A new mash-up from DJ Syko … taking one of his all time favorite hip-hop tracks ‘Mos Def’ and combining it with ‘Missy Elliot‘ … it’s that vocal everyone knows! Residing and Djing in Taiwan it has been tried and tested on the dancefloor to great effect. The 2 tracks were meant for each other, amalgamated in one  beautiful musical cocktail!

Paying no heed to the obesity crisis, Eat More Cake are a djs, producers and songwriters hailing from North-west London. Mixing it up their style incorporates dance, chill-out and occasionally hip hop. Gaining recognition with their bootleg remix of Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better With You”, (which recently reached number 1 on the Hype Machine ‘Remix Charts’) … check it out below!

Here they take on Womack & Womack’s classic ‘Teardrops’, with Emily May on the vocal work. Giving it a twist on the original, they drop the tempo and the bass delivering a beautiful piece that compliments the original. Give their DJ mix a spin to hear it in all it’s glory!

Accompanying it is an arsenal of remixes.
Check them out HERE on Beatport!

Halloween is fully upon us now so here’s 3 themed mixes picked up to celebrate your evenings however you see fit by Deekline, Doctor Hooka and Specktra.

First up is Deekline with his half hour mix of tunes. A dark grimy selection of Breaks and Bass music tracks to send the shivers down any spine and not just because it’s Halloween. This mix is heavy!

An action packed mix here from Doctor Hooka as he puts together a one and a half hour mix of tracks all of which have a connection to Halloween in some way. Properly fun mix this one with Drum n Bass, Ghetto Funk and Electro Swing all on show with some neat samples added for extra effect. Couldn’t be any more perefect for this evening!

How do’s G’Funk’errs…very, very, very long time no see/speak/post! Spinforth here, back with y’all briefly to introduce you all to Father Funk‘s brand spankin’ new ‘Phenomenal Funk EP‘ – which is **OUT NOW** exclusively via Juno Download.

Undoubtedly it’s a huuuuuge and genuine hounour, pleasure, aaand a privilege to be unleashing this‬ exceedingly tasty (..even if I do say so myself) 5 track Artist Series EP for/with him via Scour Records! Seems like just yesterday that I first Scoured up some unknown 17 year old kid from the Lake District – who’s sounds and works my fussy ears instantly loved and heard enormous promise in, and so swiftly dubbed him the ‘Fresh on the scene bomb making machine‘! Turns out it was actually waaaay back in Scour #47 days (January 2012), he was actually a young man (not a kid) with a very screwed on head, aaand, proper chuffed to say, he very soon proved me very right – delivering bomb after bomb after bomb..recurring – through his sheer and consistent determination, patience and mega hard work! As we all know, he’s gone on to make somewhat of a thoroughly deserved Superstar name of/for himself – and so, I for one wanted to take this opportunity to sincerely thank him for offering up such an awesome EP to Scour Records, as well as wish him all the very best with this release, aaaand for his and your continued success in the future!

And so..without further a do, warmest of welcomes to you ALL to Father Funk’s ‘Phenomenal Funk EP’ – choc full of quality, reflecting and flexing varying vibes, skills and styles, aaaand we hope featuring at least ‘one big little something for everybody’ – just the way we love to serve ‘em up here at Scour Records HQ!

Nuff’ blogledygook™ from me! Time to treat your ears, and/or crates, and thoroughly enjoy your big fat juicy dollop of ‘Phenomenal Funk‘!

Big UP’s and huuge thanks for your support in advance, Father Funk n Spin‘:) x

Diggin’ this release? Your word spreading ‘Comment‘, or ‘❤‘, and/or click of the ‘Repost ↻ Button‘ are all warmly welcomed. Many thanks in advance. SR HQ.

Release date: **OUT NOW**

“With a clap of thunder and a flash of something hairy, the doors to the pub exploded. As the smoke cleared it left Father Funk stood silhouetted in the doorway. We all stared open mouthed as he moonwalked in and pointed to our table “I don’t like you!” he shouted, “My friend doesn’t like you either!” Then he started chopping our arms off with his bloody light sabre. Turns out the good Father was just trying out for the next Star Wars movie, he’s so Super pippin’ hot right now that we’re not ruling it out. It’s true that having no arms will mean we’ll have to resign from the darts team, but seeing The Father sexoring up Princess Leia on the telly will ease any resentful feelings we may harbour towards the scamp!

And hell! He apparently does have the death sentence on 12 systems, so we were lucky it was just the arms!

Big love, rad Scourma, aaaand..enjoy! For he is your Father Funk.
