Cheers the for interview JiggyJoe. Tell us a bit about yourself, who you are, where you are from ?

Hi Ross! My real name is Sascha Petersen, I´m 35 years old and I´m from Augsburg, Germany!


Do you have a musical background, what are your musical influences and how did you get into music production ?

I have been Djing for 13 years now. I came into music production after hearing the music from Featurecast, Fatboy Slim, A. Skillz and Ursula 1000 into my ears!


So what music have you been working on of late ? Any remixes or new tunes we should be looking out for in the future?

I've recently done a best of and remixes for Skeewiff and Calagad 13. At the moment i´m working on my first original album and a new mashup EP!


What led you to concentrate on the funky breaks side of things?

Nearly everything! When i´m in a good mood and i have a melody in my head!


What other artists do you look up to, have respect for and have influenced you ?

First at all BADBOE! He is the one who gaves me a chance to release my stuff!
Than Ursula 1000, Featurecast and A. Skillz, they inspire me! The Ghettofunk Crew, cause they brought the wobble to the Funk! Thank you Will and Slim for doing this!
Jayl Funk for listen to my stuff, give me good advices, be there for me and make me laugh!


Where do you get most of your music from ? Any particular stores or websites you frequent ?

I get my music from Soundcloud, Friends and Juno!


What would be your ultimate gig to play at ? With who and where ?

My ultimate gig would be playing at shambhala! Some of the best gigs i played at was Bushwacked Festival in Revelstoke, Orange Rooms in Southampton and Steptusin in St. Petersburg! I have already played along side with Featurecast, Basement Freaks, Badboe, Stickybuds. I'd really like to do a gig with A. Skillz and Slynk! With a little bit of luck i will play with Slynk in my town! I just wait for the word of my resident club!


What do you think of the music industry today and what / where do you think electronic music will be in the future?

Independent music will go better and better! The mainstream stuff is going down and down and takes influences of the indie sounds! Mainstream is and will be a money making machine! Its calculated music for the masses! Electronic music lives from new ideas and experiments! The is a lot space for new stuff!


What's instore for the future of JiggyJoe ?

There will be a new Mashup EP soon! And my first originals! 4 Tracks on vinyl! Together with Skeewiff, Jazz K Lippa, Claire G Phunk, Tatted Up Toon, Rayna MC and an Ursula 1000 Remix! And next Year my first full Album!

One of our absolute favorite places on earth to play…Here is the Audio/Visual Set we performed in the Fractal Forest at the 2013 Shambhala Music Festival!

Originally performed LIVE on 4-turntables alongside our Sax and Guitar players, we’ve gone back and re-recorded the Saxophone just for this mix!

Thanks to all the amazing people who have shown us such incredible love every year at Shambhala, and in all corners of the globe. This is our labour of love for you! So download, enjoy, and share away

Much love,

Nick & Dunks

Thanks bud. Right on splendid people! Spinforth and myself are both walking wounded this week, he’s suffering from ‘too much work work-itus’ and I have full blown ‘not enough hours in the day-ids’. Nevermind! We are as addicted to delivering you The Scour as a silken sack of unicorns are addicted to pretty pink ribbons. So…

First up tonight is DJ Skiptrack, delivering a chilling half time (mostly) drum and bass funk dagger. It’ll be slid between your ribs and take your breath away before you know it. Cold as ice. Welcome to The Scour! ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 85bpm ▼

What’s this? Ben Hedibi bowing out of the production game with a farewell bootleg? Whilst we wish him all the best for his wedding we hope he won’t entirely be leaving us and our ears and hearts and our nipples alone. Who’s gonna flick our beans now?! (Put your hand down Sammy!) Keep your eyes peeled for Ben’s album in the new year, loads of Scour love and best wishes from us fella, whatever your plans, you’re sure to be missed in these realms. 91bpm ▼

Perennial bean flicker DJ Maars is back! “Yes yes y’all, and you don’t stop!” He’s getting mighty fine at this production game. He owns his own private rooms in my 90-100bpm section, when I dig through my crates his hand reaches out and grabs mine, then pulls me close and blows gently on my face, he practically turns around, looks at me over one turned shoulder, places his finger to his lips, lowers his secretarial-style glasses and in a deep husky voice charged with ball-exploding temptation and the promise of hot love, begs me to pick one of his tunes for the dance floor. Phew! 50 shades of winning! 92bpm ▼

Oh Herro Supa John! Big jaunty mash ahoy! Loads of fun, extremely well put together, not sure what I want to do more, put on a vest and unleash the guns, tie a handkerchief around my head, dagger my cat in my thong or just pretend i’m a deckhand from Captain Pugwash. Damn it, the cat’s just gone! Oh well, it doesn’t matter, the thong might pinch a little but i’m happy! Warm welcome to The Scour Sir! ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 93bpm ▼

New Zealand’s K+Lab unleashes all the dirty massive wangs on this Hermitude edit. It’s ok, we’re reliably informed no actual wangs were harmed in the making of this monster. As per usual K+Lab flays the living bejesus out of it. None other than the mighty Scrumb sums it up best when he leaves the poignant comment “I think i’m pregnant”. No kidding fella! Please pass me the opiates and the petroleum jelly, for I am sore downstairs x 90bpm ▼

Holy Funkasaurus Batman! Welcome to The Scour Canada’s The Real Molloy – hell of an entrance fella! Errrrm, will you be paying for the damage your funky bomb caused in our Scour bunker? There’s literally crisps and dips and thongs and tights and haribo over all the walls…actually it doesn’t matter, we have a full array of insurance policies taken out through all the money we made on being wrongly mis-sold PPI after we kept knocking our own walls down with our own erections after we purchased all that viagra from that Nigerian General who gave us all that money in the first place! Thank you spam god! and Thank you The Real Malloy! 100bpm ▼

This could be my favourite Temple of Boon tune yet! That’s saying something considering all the times he’s appeared in The Scour with his top mash-works. He’s the King of the funky beat and the Queen of squashing potatoes up into a creamy pulp. Is he from New Zealand? Of course he is! 101bpm ▼

Sexy ragamuffins and all-round Mr Myagi’s, The Allergies continue in their well trodden path of helping to repair the world’s soul by producing music that both makes you feel like a tooled up Borstal breakout about to rip some ‘new ones’ and a Tibetan pacifist kung fu monk that could, if he wasn’t so in control of his emotions, kill you with a well aimed one inch punch (by definition all one inch punches must be well aimed, other wise they’d just be one inch nudges) :Wax on wax off: 101bpm ▼

Bag-O-Beetz rejizzles Scour legends Warp9‘s Gypsy Djazz! A bit of gypsy, a bit of jazz, a bit of Shureshock. What mentalist thought that would make for a great musical combo? Mr. Beetz did! And he’s a twisted genius for doing so! Don’t piss him off though or he’ll drop down from your bathroom ceiling on a ninja cord and pour a shoal of breast fed laser clad miniature piranha into your bath water. Stop! It tickles! 103bpm ▼

SPONKY (great name!)..Welcome to The Scour meine schöne Freundin! Meine Damen und Herren, bereiten Sie Ihre Hose, Socken, Kittel und Lederhosen haben gut und wirklich gerockt off! Wise words Google translate! This is the sound of Michael Hasslehoff making sweet love to an extremely drunken Kit whom has wet himself, whilst Airwolf the helicopter and Pamela Anderson watch on admiringly drinking schnapps and flicking the V’s at Davina McCall. Pure Jim’ll Paint It in musical form. ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK COURTESY OF GlitchHop.NET AVAILABLE >>HERE

Scour Legends Warp9…. wait, we’ve already done that. Hell, who cares! Warp9 come at us like an angry and aroused donkey, all elbows, hooves and frothy, filthy jazz! And we love it! It Ain’t right! 106bpm ▼

More dextrous than a funky monkey with four arms, three tails and twelve thumbs, DJ INKO twerks Timothy Wisdom within an inch of his life. Sir Timothy takes it like the boss he is though. He doesn’t own the jauntiest of hats in the world for nothing! He has style and panache in spades, more than enough to keep the slinky Inko at bay, He can’t lay a glove on him whilst Sir Tim tells him to keep getting his hands up, this one will be decided by the judges scorecard. :Butterfly/bees: 106bpm ▼

At first I thought Fritada De Cumbia was a deep fried delicacy of Northern England and Skeewiff might be laying down recipes for a new cookbook. I can picture him on masterchef wearing a fake bald wig over his flowing masculine locks, over gripping the desert spoon like Popeye after a spinach rush, chowing down on some poor fools pudding whilst maintaining eye contact and laughing evilly and jotting down the details into his secret cookbook, muttering something like ‘buttery biscuit bass’. But no! Skeewiff is merely laying down another Cumbia/Moombah bomb from the wondrous Ghetto Latin & Broken Ballroom album, which you have no reason not to own by now..so long as you’ve bought ALL THESE first!

108bpm ▼

Pinocchio! I am your father! JaPetto gets all Darth Vadar on our asses and makes an epic deathstar of a galactic party bomb! How good is it? Ask anyone on Aldeeran, they’ll tell ya! Oh……too soon? 110bpm ▼

Is that Sir Timothy of Wisdom again? Why yes it is, getting his hands all up in the air and suff! Anyone would think Sir Tim had recently unleashed a FREE Acapella Pack or something!? Ahh..I see! Moving on..Super laser baseline remix by Tone-E/Symptom. I think Tim would very much approve. Scour Golden Seal of Approval. 115bpm ▼

Been aaaaages since we’ve heard from DJ August (Scour #63 times aaaaages ago Spinforth reliably informs me!), doesn’t really matter when the big chief comes out with wickedness such as this! Utterly splendid scat-work, which alone earns nothing but utmost respect and love in my book, but then my book is called ‘lover of scat and all scat related paraphernalia’. ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 120bpm ▼

Bad habit baby! Really? Nope, it’s just Djrebel being all amazing again, which must mean it’s skank o’clock! Slightly odd to see him all the way down here, he usually graces the upper echelons of The Scour, no less lovely though, in fact i’d like to see more of him down here, the foxy trickster. Huuuuge thanks for switching the download of this one on especially for The Scour buddy..please don’t forget to send him your ‘thank you’s’ folks! 120bpm ▼

Lock up your livestock! Francis Red ‘s back in town! That means he’ll own all the swing and all the wobble and certainly all your bass will belong to him. If you have anything on your speakers that’s, you know, breakable, you might want to take it off now. Likewise, if you’re wearing any kind of embarrassing ‘Where’s Wally’ underwear you might want to remove those too, as your trousers are about to explode! 122bpm ▼

DJ Django Soda Stream (Free Download) ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 85bpm 125bpm ▼

SkiiTour are one of our favourite double acts in the world, always fun, big with the snowmen, massive hair and some of the best jumpsuits in the business. The Cannon and Ball of Canada. There’s nothing that can beat them….unless….they could somehow team up with funkmeister Slynk. Ha! Like that could ever happen…..hold up! 125bpm ▼

Banger Alert!!! Like a gang of mad muppet chef’s, CMC & Silenta mix Skrillex and Dire Straits and come up smelling of cookie monsters and Bert and Ernies! Yeharrr! Put your hands up those puppets Timothy!

132bpm ▼

This is amazing! We’re long time HKPP lovers of everything Taggy Matcher put out and I built my entire first set around ‘Thought it was you’ by Herbie Hancock, and I HAD AN ETCH-A SKETCH! Great work all round JR.Dynamite Edits, proving once again that an awesome tune and an awesome idea isn’t triple awesome unless you have awesome artwork to go with it! Hifive fella and big love! 165bpm ▼

Annnnd finally..:Ooof!: This is a mighty Curveball! Shimi Sonic hits us squarely between the nuts like James Bond sitting in a chair getting a knotted bit of rope swedged at his balls by an angry Oriental gent. :Yikes!: Have some! 78bpm ▼

Check back on all previous Scours via: >>The Scour Archives<<.

There a lot happening for HerbGrinder at the moment. His track ‘The Horn’ (Part of Bombstrikes into Battle Vol 5) is still holding its own in the junodownload charts. His debut solo Ep is picking up some serious plaudits and  is released in the next few weeks.  And now he’s just dropped this outstanding

packed full of nothing but Herbgrinder originals, remixes and collaborations its not hard to see why he is causing quite a stir.

Check it out on the Bombstrikes youtube:

The download is in the video description. Enjoy! AND watch out for some free downloads coming your way from him in the near future as well!

Hey hey hey! It’s DJR here with another roundup of all the best things happening in the world of vintage beats along with the odd dollop of balkan, world music, jazz and whatever else I can find to rock your world! Big shout out to Birmingham’s Hot Club De Swing where I had a great time last weekend playing alongside The Electric Swing Circus, Captain and C@ In The H@.

Free Music Sammy Senior’s new swing track Bounce accidentally missed the cut last time, however should be a must for any ghetto swing DJ. I road-tested it on Friday night and it went down a storm. The rest of the EP is more straight up ghetto funk.

Rather enjoying this freebie from Skeewiff on a Cumbia tip. Great stuff.

More Cumbia here and plenty of world flavours and swinging beats. Check it:

Here’s Francis Red getting down and dirty with Jazzotrons Get Up:

Here’s another good slice of bass and swing from Extra Medium.

Electro-blues funkiness going on:

Here’s a nice funked up version of Tutti Frutti, download from here.

How about a Captain Flatcap remix? Go on…

I ran into Basschimp at Nozstock in the summer and told him to drop me some stuff. He’s now come up with this swing house track featuring the sounds of Disney which is available for free from his facebook along with a few other tracks.

Caro Emerald has rather nicely given away an Acoustic EP is accompany her recent album which you can download for free from here.

DJ Django here with a bouncy take on swing-house:

Grant Lazlo getting all orchestral with Marvin Gaye:

New Releases Defunk – Welcome To Groove City Defunk has been one of the most consistent producers out there recently putting out all sorts of interesting bass, blues and swing tinged productions. It’s great to see that he’s now finished his first album which you can hear below. It’s available from October 8th on Juno.

Jamie Berry – Swing It EP Jamie Berry has been putting out some great releases recently successfully mixing the swing sound with a really strong dance floor focussed house sound. This EP doesn’t disappoint either and offers five great slices of swing house goodness. Available from beatport.

Swahn – Swing House Swahn has produced an EP of some of his recent productions which is out now on Chocolat Soul Records. Available from traxsource.

DJ Mixes The ever reliable Doctor Hooka has come through with another of his quality Hookz & Swings mixtapes. This one takes a breakneck spin through thirty of the latest swing tunes:
