Jalapeno Funk, Vol. 8 by Various Artists

2016 has been a bit of a bonkers year at times and for some a testing one too, but to realign our senses and to help us reflect on the good times that were had is, Jalapeno Records and their annual album ‘Jalapeno Funk, Vol. 8′. Now, if you had a pint of funk and skimmed off the cream from the very top, this is where you’d find these 20 tracks that the Jalapeno crew have handpicked for their epic compilation album.

They’ve really pulled out all the stops for this one as they deliver a selection of the hottest tracks released from the label this year, a few dusted off classics and 3 brand new exclusive tracks from Izo FitzRoy, Smoove and The Allergies – who have also put together a pretty damn cool mix of this album :

There really is some truly amazing music to be found on ‘Jalapeno funk, Vo.l. 8′. It’ll lift your spirits, make you smile and give you that warm feeling inside, which is what proper music always does.

Buy ‘Jalapeno Funk, Vol. 8′ here from Bandcamp.

I’ve been a huge fan of Scour Records and Sammy Senior for quite some time now and to be in the fortunate position where I can share music with both parties involved, makes me one happy chap. Helping to take that happiness to the next level is the music that’s involved on Sammy’s outstanding new EP ‘Bag Of Tricks’. This is Mr Senior at his very best as he drops 5 tracks that have his trademark ‘party funk’ style stamped all over them. If you’re planning to bounce your way through Christmas and need some full fat broken beats and bass to help you achieve that, this collection of tracks are absolute must have’s!

The fun doesn’t stop there folks because Sammy also has a new mix out that’s packed with all his own amazing music. There’s original music, edits, remixes and bootlegs aplenty, with most of the music still to be released. It also features the new music from the ‘Bag Of Tricks’ EP too, and as you’ve already felt the force of those, you know this is gonna be one heavy ass mix!

If you’re on the hunt for House music that is ridiculously cool and has a distinct Funk, Disco and Soulful flavour, the Dutch label, Midnight City, is the one for you. As well as having a huge amount of free mixes for you to get your ears around, they also have a handful of free tunes to get your hands on with the latest one being this tune posted from, Pete Herbert and Dicky Trisco.

Their tune ‘Free Zone’ was originally released sometime ago and was only out on CD. It’s brought so much joy to so many over the years at so many parties, that the guys felt it was time it spread it’s wings further and have decided to give it away for free on Midnight City. This is a classy, upbeat and highly infectious Disco groover that you can’t help but love and one you’ll no doubt be spinning time and time again.

Ninja Cutz is back!!! Mystery & Kosine take us back into the jungle with ‘X Amount of Spliff’ accompanied by DJ Hybrid, Vinyl Junkie, DJ Monk, and Dialect

Mystery & Kosine take us back to the smoke and laser-filled warehouse of 1993 armed with a funky drummer break and Amiga era samples. ‘X Amount of Spliff’ repurposes the famous ‘Ganja Man…big up ya spliff’ sample used by DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer transporting it to a darker landscape of speaker ripping subs and early jungle sounds.

DJ Hybrid, Vinyl Junkie, DJ Monk, and Dialect serve up remixes to rip it up for the DnB & Jungle heads meaning there really is a version to suit all junglistic persuasions!!

Samuel Dan & Chedey Garcia wanna get you in a ‘Good Mood’as do Apollo 84 & Ismael Casimiro……

As you may have guessed, ‘Good Mood’ is actually a tune, part of an EP in fact on ERYN. IT’s a tough pounding Tech House track with a healthy dose of testosterone packed synths. ‘Fataga’ is equally electrifying, a splendid blend of funk and techno that has to be heard. ‘Good Mood’ gets two first class remixes from Apollo 84 & Ismael Casimiro, all in all, a truly solid package, not to be messed with!!!
