The crowd roars and flappers shake their tail feathers as the legendary Kid Creole & the Coconuts take center stage with the mighty Jem Stone! One of 2013’s most exciting collaborations, ‘Pack Your Truck’ has been whipping up a stir world wide …. jam packed with as much swing and funk you can grab, the instrumental version is yours for free! Out now on Tommy Boy Records.

Buy at Beatport HERE!

As always, it is complete with full vocal video:

Guess what? DJ Syko likes more than one kind of music! Someone call the genre police as he makes a smashing rework of Gorrillaz & Stanton Warriors vs. Run DMT. Breaks, glitch, electro … call it what you want but you gotta love it.

This is Sanxion. He makes beats. Sometimes under different names – Sparky, The Full Time Superstars, Dub Hooligan to name a few. With more alter egos than a Marvel comic collection, he will not be pinned down to a particular genre. The first of these freebies ‘Do The Acid Shake’ should get your tooshie shaking to some 303 action whilst the second, ‘Fill The Emptyness’ is a drum and bass vocal trip that will take you higher! Like what you hear? Buy his latest release, a remix of Austin/Vinyl Junkie Feat. Rachel Vallace – Can’t Go Back, HERE!

Sup ya’ll! Hope everyone had a wicked weekend and is started to get ramped up to do it all over again.. it is hump day after all! So if you were getting amongst the festival scene in the UK this summer you might have stumbled apon the Dance Off Crew.. especially considering there was a Ghetto Funk take over at some point! Anyway.. my point is, I’ve got a mixtape for you from those brilliant lads behind all that magic! If you don’t know what the hell i’m taking about, I suggest you have a little read of this interview I did with Luke Kb so you know what to look for next time.

SAMMY: So first off there are two of you guys, tell us a bit about yourselves and what you do/play.

LUKE: We are Luke (kb) & Dave (Airayd), two really close friends from Bristol in the southwest. We are 2/3 of the musical force behind the Dance-Off Crew, if you’ve been hitting the fields this summer you might of witnessed us up to no good on our stage, some of you might of also seen the ghetto funk takeover that we hosted on our stage at Secret Garden party, absolutely bonkers!

We play anything and everything that fits the night and who’s out there dancing, everything apart from psy-trance or gabba, we try to save that for our downtime.

SAMMY: Sounds like madness! Do you always DJ as a team or do you play solo as well? Where can we usually find you playing?

LUKE: We always try and play together or with our other compadre Dj Pythagasaurus, whether it’s recording the mixtapes or playing out to the crowds, it’s how we’ve moulded our sound as dj’s. Spinning off of each other, having a laugh, whatever the genre. it makes it fun in a world of dj’s who take themselves far too seriously

Festival season is drawing to a close this year but we are at a handful of the U.K events in the summer months, failing that you can find us lurking around bristol most weekends, playing wherever we can get on the decks.

SAMMY: Brilliant, thats how it should be.. having a laugh and playing tunes!!  speaking of which can you tell us more about the Dance off Stage?

You need to see it to believe it, that’s the best bit of advice i could give you about the Dance-Off haha. Expect anything and everything but it’s most importantly all about the dancing, music appreciation and the crowd participation. We pair friends or foes against each other in a three round fashion, where any moves go.

You can choose Beats (varied styles of bass heavy music) or Junk (funk, soul, disco, 90′s cheese, air guitar) and dance till you drop. We try to play the most varied amount of music we can, bringing in close friends and other allies when we need to step it up just that bit further. We have a few Dance-off events coming up so if your curious, be sure to check www.facebook.com/thedanceoffcrew to get all the info on your friendly neighbourhood boxing ring.

SAMMY: I have seen it in action myself at boomtown and it was nothing short of a great time! This mix has a huge range of genre’s which is also great! Is this what we could expect from you at a usual gig?

LUKE: YES! We love chucking absolutely everything in the mixer, it makes it unpredictable and spontaneous, just the way we like music.

SAMMY: Nice! What do we have coming up to look forward to from you guys?

There is a few that stand out for us, we have Brisfest first of all which is a local volunteer run festival which is brimming with homegrown Bristol goodness and then Wonka-Vision halloween where will be doing our full Dance-Off stage show. check our page for updates on our whereabouts.

The nuts are growing hotter and fatter!

We’re ultra excited to announce that ‘Scoured Cream Vol.03‘ is finally ready to be unleashed to all your wonderful ears, hearts, minds and crates. Incredibly big ‘Thank youuuu’s’ and highfive’s to all whom supported Vol.02, and kept it up top in the Juno Download charts for so long. We felt a bit like that Gangnam Style fella probably felt..except we’re obviously not quite as popular in South Korea as he is..but we do have a great business plan for Asia somewhere in our biscuit jar, so you never know!

The bi-weekly Scour is continuing to unearth some extra-sexy-fresh producers..virgin contributors to Volume 03 include Leo, Howla, The Phunk Junkies and El Bomba. We warmly welcome them all and ask that they pop their clothes on the side, we’ll be with them shortly. We also welcome back the man with the Lycra pants J-Sound; the really, really incredibly good looking and caring fellows Hong Kong Ping Pong, collaborating with the astoundingly Adonis-like Warp9 chaps; the musical King Kong that is WBBL; aaand that filthy hell-raiser Father Funk.

All basses are covered, sexy pants are on, love helmet straps are firmly clasped and armbands are fully inflated. Let’s dive in! (No bombing or heavy petting please).

Big love ‘n’ UP’s, aaaaand…Enjoy!

How do’s? And Happy Scourday™ all! Blimey those those last two weeks flew by. Guess it’s been a long while since I only left you hanging for two weeks mind, but with our UK festival season now sadly over, hopefully Scours will start getting back to the more normal and regular biweekly business for you all..probably.

So yeah, here we are once again, myself (Spinforth), and Taiwan based multi-award winning, internationally touring DJ/producer (originally from Bristol, UK). Founder of Bass Kitchen Worldwide..DJ Chamber welcoming you to Spinf…hold up, wait a second..DJ who?? This isn’t ‘normal’!? Far from it. Where the funk is Fat Harry!? Oh right yeah, I remember now, my trustee sidekick has sloped off gigging on a school night and left me in charge of blurb duty. As if I was ever going to find spare time to do that too! I considered it, for about two seconds, but then thought, hmmm…there must be someone out there willing and able to step up to and fill his massive shoes..and as if by magic, in pops a facebook message from the one and only biggest shoe wearer I know of in the world, the Scour saving legend Mr DJ Chamber! To be fair, he was actually only messaging me with a tune for consideration (..it’s ace, and would have happily Scoured it anyway bud) but then..he foolishly kindly offered if he could be of any assistance. My prayers were answered, the first EVER special guest Scour blurber outside of the HKPP crew camp was snared very warmly welcomed! I’ve no doubt whatsoever he’s massively regretting typing the words ‘let me know if you need help with getting it done, if i can step up and lend a hand someway i will‘ but, I honestly can’t thank him enough for doing so. I was stressing out big time about getting this latest Scour job done until that moment. You’re a true gent dude, now all I need to do is help you hit YOUR 10,000th Facebook Fan Page liking >>CLICK RIGHT HERE

Right, so that’s easily enough of an main intro already I reckon. Mostly all bloggledegook, but looks impressive..better than some of my more recent copouts anyway. I’m sure there’s something else I need to be saying before we head down below though. Oh yes..just a quick little HUUUUUUUMONGOUS and sincerest of thank YOU’s going out to all whom have treated their crates to a copy of ‘Scoured Cream Vol.03′ over this past week. Of course i had faith in the featured Scour Superstars and their awesome tunes, as well as secret high hopes that it might just about be rad enough to win us a hat rick of Juno Download #1′s. Wasn’t counting any chickens though, so when it reached that incredible height, across ALL genres no less, at precisely 01:00hrs last Friday night/Sunday morning..I yelped a little, and very speedily proceeded to get even more pissed than I was already! You beauties..such a treat to see several months of hard work from all the artists involved (..as well as one or two hours put in here and there by myself) rewarded with a third number one best seller in a row. Incredible. Anyone still reading this wondering what all the thankful excitement is about, here comes a little treat for you all. EXCLUSIVE World Premiere of WBBL‘s Juno chart smashing ‘FIYAH!’ anyone? Take a seat..no canoodling at the back please, now enjoy this veritable visual feast of an accompanying video, courtesy of the absolute dude of dude of a duuuude, whom goes by the name of Amp’l Beats.

Release date: **OUT NOW**

That really is waaay more than enough from me now, time to serve up my 90th (crikey..getting close to 100! I wonder whom might be interested in getting involved in that then??) mixed bag of Scoured goods, by handing you all over to my very very special guest, please give him the warmest of Scour welcomes..here cometh Sir Chamber the 90th Scour saviour!

Scour lover thumbers at the ready, aaaaand…

Enjoy! x

Big thanks for letting Spinforth down Harry

..these rather large shoes you left me fit just perfectly! It’s an honour and a privilege to be invited to be the first ever guest Scour blurber (or ‘blurbist’? ‘blurbster’? ‘blurbette’? ) outside of the Hong Kong Ping Pong crew. “Sup” SoundCloud playaz! While Spinforth is off foraging for bassnuts in the woodlands of life, and Fat Harry is getting high on bath salts or something, I’ve been left in charge. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. I say watch out because I’m about to repeatedly slap you in the face with my laptop keys. Hold on to your sideways turned baseball caps everybody because shizz is about to get real. We’re going deep people – balls deep! Ready? Set? Let’s Scouuuur!!

Mr NOG crosses a bunch of cool genres together to create something original, awesome and as far as I can tell, entirely un-Star Wars related. Soulful yet banging! Jumbo-ups to NOG for this one, doper than a failed international sporting event urine test. 89bpm ▼

Lushiously delectable chilled out hip-hoppy vibes from Canadian Scourgin™ (Scour virgin) turntablist and producer, RileyJ. Welcome to the Scour Mr J. I hope losing your Scour virginity to my words isn’t too painful. Congratulations on creating a tune which is marginally more relaxing than getting head from a sexy toothless beauty. ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 90bpm ▼

Nice work Sammy Senior, high five! This is what Sammy calls ‘Sunday morning Hip-Hop’. I’m usually far too asleep, hungover or drunk to consciously experience Sunday mornings, so its a crying shame to suddenly find out that I’m missing out on a bunch of tunes which sound as sweet as this. 90bpm ▼

Here’s a big melodic boom bap mashup from New Zealander Temple of Boon that is definitely posessing something sweet. ‘How many MCs must get dissed?’ Its a question which has been troubling scholars since it was first asked in 1993. Sadly, we are still no closer to an answer with expert opinions on the subject varying wildly. 95bpm ▼

Sam Redmore has ‘worked it’ extremely well with this tropical mashup. I have little to no knowledge of Latino music – I guess this is samba or salsa or rhumba or something… It’s definitely good though, that much I can say for certain. Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-taaaa. 96bpm ▼

I will be writing this in the style of the Beastie BOYS! That’s why I’m shouting the last word of every SENTENCE! The interestingly/intriguingly named Yuanan “J.A.R” has put some tasty dub vibes under the Beasties vocals which work surprisingly WELL! When is a phat remix not a phat REMIX? When it’s a “J.A.R.” MASHUP. ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 95bpm ▼

Wilkommen to the Scour Mr per.du (another Scourgin™) – WARNING: This mashup is serious, it may or may not make you delerious. Bladdy nice this one – Busta’s gone all light and twinkly – I never thought I’d see the day (although, actually, he did release a Christmas tune duetting with Justin Bieber a while back – Seriously, Google it, you’ll vomit in your own mouth)… 95bpm ▼

DJ Chamber!? Never heard of him! Oh wow, I don’t know what to say, I really didn’t expect this, haven’t prepared anything, speechless really. Mr Spinforth has scoured my new remix! This is a little awkward – What I will say is this – this is probably the single greatest digitized audio recording which has ever been created. Somewhere between Glitch-Hop and Hip-Hop, I have invented a new style which I’ve coined ‘Glip-Hop’ (TM). Glip-Hop WILL be the next big thing, just you wait and see… 94bpm ▼

Whooooo’s that? Its Mr Showtime – Tom Showtime! This is a lovely little mash of Charlie the magical talking tunafish and Mr Manuva over a KMD beat which does exactly as it says on the tin and Kauses Much Damage! Any tune that mentions Van Goughs missing ear and a spandex pants leg is aaaalright with me. If you like this one then keep checking up over at Tom’s Soundcloud Page as he’s giving away a tune a week for the next few weeks. 96bpm ▼

MEGA LOVE for this one!!! In a word – ‘Gospelicious’. In 5 more words and a letter, Alific and Bishop D are awesome – To add a further 40 words to the mix – If you are digging this, you will want to check out Alific’s forthcoming LP – ECHOES FROM THE SOUL, which will be released very soon (September 10th). If you are not digging this, there might well be something wrong with your ears. 100bpm ▼

When’s the last time you heard a funky diabetic? Its a question which has been troubling scholars since it was first asked in 1993. A warm welcome to The Scour to Canadian beatmaster and Scourgin™ – DJ Pump! A dark and dirty, almost unhygenic remix with an unexpected switch up two thirds of the way through – Perfect to shake the walls of underground basement clubs all around the world. Oh my gawwwd! I give it three thumbs up. 98bpm ▼

This tune packs a Mohammed Ali style punch directly to the testicles – in a good way. What I’m trying to say is that its powerful. With what I can only describe as a bassline phatter than an ogres chode, Scourgin™ KUI. is kicking some major arse on this one. Certainly going in my cd wallet. Merci beauKUI! 100bpm ▼

Noice! Timothy ‘Timaaaay’ Wisdom has gone done an audio beauty here! Paradoxically speaking, this sounds like what I imagine retro will sound like in the future. Earplugs… where we’re going we don’t need earplugs! Once this baby hits 88 beats per minute, you’re gunna hear some serious shi… 101bpm

Proper head bobbing vibes from Shåkasøünd on this one. More chilled than the contents of a fully stocked Smeg (teehee) fridge/freezer unit… Anyway, sit back, relax, pop your feet up and prepare to be washed over by a calm ocean of funk and rhymes – don’t listen too closely to the lyrics though as they are a little bit ‘real’. 102bpm ▼

Bouncy goodness from the ingeniously named Stabfinger & K.D.S Welcome to the Scour you pair of massive Scourgins™. This French duo blend together a little of this, a little of that, a little of Afrika Bambaata, a little of De La Soul and a little of Joseph Julian Gonzales for good measure to make this chunky groove. Tres bon mes amis! 100bpm ▼

Check it out – It’s that (possibly) Brazillian tune that everyone knows and likes but noone outside of Brazil (or its probably fairly nearby country of origin) quite knows the name of or words to – Great job on the remix duty from The Spank!! You da Mendez! Really nice switches between the traditional (hopefully) Brazillian bits and trap! 105bpm ▼

GhettoFunktastic take on the White Stripes classic ‘Seven Nation Army’! This isn’t the work of any old DJ, this is SOME DJ motherlovers! If you like this, be sure to check out his recently released first ever vinyl record (available >>HERE

Bravo Scoured Cream Vol.03 Superstars Warp9 – Warps 1 to 8 had nothing on you sir. You may very well have created the single funkiest tune since funk records began. Get your glittery flares, afro wigs and star shaped sunglasses ready for this one – BowWowWow is so fly it suffers from intermittent bouts of altitude sickness… 106bpm ▼

LabRat & Jamburglar (which might be the best producer name of all time) have created a sickness so ill that it has already killed several listeners – What I’m trying to say is that I like it and its very good. To quote ‘William Alexander Dyer’ (from the Soundcloud comments of this tune): “nice one boys” – To which ‘Nicklas_Washing’, thoughtfully adds “Biu biu biu”. Right on the money as ever Nicklas! 108bpm ▼

SCOUR #90 EXCLUSIVE: Hang about, Spinforth explicitly informed me there were no exclusives this week!? Ahh..I see, it’s from another Scour Superstar, I guess we’ll allow this behaviour from the boss! Father Funk‘s funky fertility is positively oozing from every pore with this remix – somebody fetch a mop… Wobbly wub-wub awesomeness throughout this retardedly good remix! Bonus points for including minimal Fergie in this edit – Very nice work! Get involved with your very kindly donated >>SCOUR EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD LINK RIGHT HERE

This ones hot like mustard! If you don’t know how to spell the word ‘BEAT’, this tune should help. Good work, T.Rice. This one is almost as old skool as Adam and Eve. Early 80s disco breaks never sounded so fresh. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me T.Rice, shame on me… 115bpm ▼

Absolutely love this! Welcome to the Scour for the first time ever Funk Monks’ Mr Lev Melvin aka:Whiteboy Funk. If this one doesn’t send you into a frenzied spasm of twerks and booty shaking then you may well be paralyzed from the midriff down. Slappa de bass! 115bpm ▼

This ones bouncier than a spacehopper filled with laughing gas. Australian badman Dastardly Kuts aka ‘Dick Dastardly and Kutley’ (..not really, I just made that up) has made a right good mashup here – Blending Breakbot and all round Scour Superstar WBBL with the not so docile tones of the Ying Yang Twins and Bubba Sparxxx. Marvellous! 116bpm ▼

Doug ‘D*Funk‘ Masters has dropped another badboy choon ladies and gents! Bang Bang Love sounds like something I may or may not have experienced on my recent Thailand tour. Chunky beats and a great bassline make this tune go bang bang. Clinically obese-ups to you on this one Mr *Funk. 117bpm ▼

Awwwwwww yeaaaaaaah!!! This little number is rather wonderful, a bootleg of two classics which winds up being more uplifting and positive than [SPOILER ALERT] the ending of every Disney movie ever made. I struggled to type the description for this tune as some guy kept telling me to put my hands up as I listened to it. Grand job Tom Drummond, just grand! 116bpm ▼

Oh shnap! I have a new favorite version/mega mashup of Gravel Pit. This ones got trumpets and stuff – Proper cool! Extra large-ups to Beat Frenetics‘ Michael ‘Lene on me, when you’re not strong’ Lener! Nipple hardening stuff. Ever wondered what the gravel pit they refer to actually is? I did, so I Googled it – turns out shes talking about her vagina. Yikes! 125bpm ▼

THIS. IS. DOPE! Quite literally music to my ears. Muchos respectiatos to Joe Revell for cooking up this phat little broken beat beast of a remix. If you are wondering how you can get yourself high, theres a few methods I’ve found work well. Spinning around for a while usually does the job. If thats not your cup of tea, you could try holding your breath for a bit (but not too long). If thats too hardcore for ya, sometimes standing up quickly can provide quite the headrush! 125bpm ▼

This choon packs ‘oodles’ of floor shaking sub – Proper space dub vibes – And then just when you least expect it, it hits you with a tasty double time breakbeat. Thaswhaimtalkinbout! Pant-creamingly good, nice work Indidginus! Now where did I put my ‘erb… oh, good god, stood up too quick!

140bpm ▼

I thought you could only love a tune in fairly tales… Then I heard its bass, now I’m a believer. Without a trace, of doubt in my mind that its going in my crate. I’m in love with this remix… Great job DJ Snatch you cheeky little Monkee. Tastier than a double pack of Tesco’s delicious egg custard tarts made with double cream and sprinkled with nutmeg. ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION. 162bpm ▼

And finally we arrive at this weeks Curveball. I actually have a friend who has suffered from a curved ball ever since he sat down too fast on a hard Ikea chair named Ivar in 2004. He was never quite the same after the incident, both testicularly speaking and in general – It certainly didn’t help his confidence that people started calling him ‘flatpack bollocks’ and ‘Ikea meatball’. Anyway, enough about my scrotally lopsided buddy, lets talk about the final tune of today’s Scour. Well basically its really groovy and stuff so get it and that yeh?! WARNING: If you suffer from kaleidoscope eyes as a result of listening to this tune, we recommend you consult a medical professional ASAP. Big love Rhythm Scholar! And that’s me, your guest blurb writing host DJ Chamber, all done and completely and utterly Scoured out! 93bpm ▼

Ghetto Funk Presents: Bring The Boom EP (GFP016)

Featuring: Funkanomics, JFB, Dancefloor Outlaws, Timothy Wisdom & Tom Drummond

GFP016

Vinyl Only Release
Release Date Mid September 2013

Anyone can punch you in the neck, a real champ would go for your neck, chin, gut and kidney, Pow! On your arse! 

Who goes to Maccy D’s and just buys chips? No one. Fries, rings, sandwich and a diet beverage (for the careful calorie counters amongst us) It’s all about combos…and four seems to be the magic number in combo circles. 

Which is exactly what we have on the next Ghetto Funk EP. A combo of four tunes from our most shiniest, most sexiest, most deadliest of stars.

The Funkanomics bring the saws and drills and a look in their eye that suggests they will hold you down and either give you the best tattoos ever, or will remove a limb or possibly a spleen, before tickling you to near death with the uber-lovely ‘Backyard Baby’. The Dancefloor Outlaws team up with JFB to steal all the skank and the drum and the bass and hammer the sweet hell out of Desmond Dekker’s ‘Israelites’. Sir Timothy Wisdom cocks his hat to it’s jauntiest of angles, meets you in the centre of the ring and challenges you to ‘put em up’. Three minutes later you’re begging your trainer to cut your eye and are wailing for Adrian! “Mama Said’. All the while Tom Drummond has been quietly lying in the grass keeping you well and truly in his sights. He takes careful aim, sets all his bass to ‘bang’ and pulls his trigger finger.

You can run, but you can’t hide. Not from these four funky brutes.

Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is back to proof once again that the FUNK is very much alive in 2013. BBP has teamed up with some of the coolest funky cats in the scene to bring us back to the days when music could light up a place and make people dance.

Bring Back The Funk EP is introducing a new act to the funky breaks world: Conte Crux from the UK who got the honor or setting off the EP with his bangin’ Turn It Up jam. This is followed up by 2 of our favorite ghetto funk artists: DJ Rudd & Morlack who is both doing their thang on 2 new funky joints: Like Jello & Makossa!

PulpFusion who is true veteran to the nu funk scene has brought us the title tune to this EP: Bring Back the Funk is a real breaker in the most classic sense. This jam should is calling for all the break-dancers to take over the dancefloors!

Last but not least DJ Throwback is doing just that by bring us back to the days of blues on his massive oldskool jam: The Hook.

BBP IS the place to go for your quality funk jams for your DJ set and radio shows. Look out as more sleazy funky breaks from the BBP camp coming soon…

Reviews:
Monkey Boxing:
“..lobbing into the beat blender with the gibberish intro from The Marcels doo-wop anthem Blue Moon and somehow it all makes sense. Achievements both, I think you’ll agree – especially this latter blend which lyrically manifests as, “At the party I shake my ass, Bom ba ba bom ba bom ba bom bom ba ba bom ba ba bom ba ba dang a dang dang.”
Read the full Monkeyboxing review here.

Juno Download:
“Denmark’s Breakbeat Paradise, as the name suggests, is Scandinavia’s holy ground for anything breakbeat-oriented. Starting as an early music website back in 1996 it has since then developed into a full-blown label and an impressive one at that This time we have five different names and five different tracks, ranging from Conte Crux’s electro-charged “Turn It Up” to “Like Jello” by DJ Rudd – featuring masterful sampling and chopping throughout. Morlack’s “Makossa” re-spins some old-school NY rap, whilst “Bring Back The Funk” itself is a driving, break-ridden floor monster. DJ Throwback’s “The Hook” tops it all off with some loose, hip-winding beats and breaks a la Africana”

Feedback:

“Great Ep! Superfly & Super Funky… DJ Rudd ‘Like Jello’ is the dopest. Love that low slung funk!” – Tom Showtime

“Dope party tunes all over!! Full support….will play a lot for sure!” – Kid Stretch

“Full on funktastic flavours! Love ‘em all. Conte Crux definitely pick of the bunch though” – Free Breaks Blog

“Some great funky party jams! Nice work guys” – Farther Funk

“Great to hear proper ‘funk’ where other labels seem to be missing it. A blinding package, I’ll be dropping most of these joints in the near future” – Luke Stereo

“Liking the swagger on DJ Rudd Like Jello… Nice.” – Qdup Foundation

“Really cool set of tunes!” – Rory Hoy

“Some serious funk right here, will be playing all of these beauties” – Doctor Hooka (NBC Radio)

The Breakbeat Paradise DJ Mix Contest 2013 is now over and we have found our winners of a contest full of amazing mixes. The final pick of the 3 winners was extremely hard as there was a handful of outstanding mixes that all deserved to win.

All entries were high quality DJ mixes showcasing some amazing skills behind the turntables – spiced up with lots a great cuts and accapellas and samples. We were surprised how many of the earlier BBP tunes were represented into these mixes as well as a great blend of classic funky breaks and bass heavy ghetto funk tunes.

3 of the sets stood out in excellence and superb mixing and you can tell a great lot of work has been put into these mixes.

Third runner up was delivered by MZFK a.k.a. Steve Rogne who’s mixed up a sublime set with super tight transitions and amazing blends of BBP tunes mixing them into entirely new songs. Notice how Prosper’s Freak Hop Part 1 sits perfectly behind Basement Freaks’ Street Assassins (Dub Mix). One of the best flowing mixes in the contest.

Second running up is brought to us by Dj DUBra from the Funky Breakout Crew, which also has DJ Rudd in the crew. This was a strong competitor to be the winner – simply because the mix is awesome from first to last minute. DJ DUBra is not just a great DJ – he has a great ear for hip hop type funky music and party rocking beats. When we first heard DUBra in action in the funky breakout shows we were impressed by his block rockin’ funky style of DJing so no wonder he made this badass mix for the contest.
This set is pumped up with banging accapellas and superb scratching skills we found ourself extremely entertained and our heads were nodding all the way though this mix.

The winning DJ mix was brought to us by the awesome DJ Exceed from Austria. Exceed is raised on funk and soul and has now put his love on funky breaks and ghetto funk. After winning the Austrian Eutopia Dj Contest 2013 its seems like he is on a winning streak as he’s gonna run away with the prize once again in this contest.
The flow of this set is perfect and Exceed is showing us just enough cutting and scratching skills for us to know he knows what his doing – without messing up balance of the mix.
Kicking off his set with Tom Drummond’s remix of JiggyJoe’s Last Night a DJ Threwd His Hands in the Air is a perfect start with some extra cuts and samples to go with it.. Going from there into some of the absolute best BBP bangers to stir things up. From there Exceeds never lets us go as he slams on one after another classic BBP jam before ending things out with the good ol’ Funkanomics remix of BadboE’s What You Wanna Do and finally leaving us with DJ Rudd’s Shake It out.
With this mix DJ Exceed has managed to capture the real essence of the BBP sound, which is all about funky groves and having a good time. We can’t think of a better way to showcase what BBP is all about!
