How do’s Scouroops™, and welcome to the last EVER Scour….of double digits!

Spinforth here, soon to be followed by Fat Harry bringing up the Scourear™. Yep, seems it really has ‘almost’ happened – three days short of three whole years Scouring (Est.January 26th 2011), and now just one Scour short of the magic/miraculous 100!! Whoever would have funked it!? I know I certainly wouldn’t. I’ll save up the emotional speech for the big one, for the now just the customary warmest of welcomes to all, to..Spinforth’s Biweekly Soundcloud Scour #99!

Keeping it short(ish) but sweet up top this Scour. Need to try and get myself more than 3 hours kip tonight in an attempt to keep myself fresh for a drive up to Bristol tomorrow where myself and F’arry will be getting our safari on and delivering the HKPP goodness at FIVE DOLLAR SHAKE presents: DJ Cheeba, Deekline, JON1ST, Hong Kong Ping Pong, Mafia Kiss, The Dance Off, and Five Dollar Shake DJs. Promises to be a sweet sweet night, not only cause of the rad line up, but also cause we’ll be celebrating Scour Records Superstar X-Ray Ted‘s Birthday, aaaand..I get to don my disco bear suit (been far too long) – it’s anyone’s guess what Fat Harry will come as..worth the ticket price alone to find out! Undoubtedly the hottest ticket in Bristol tomorrow night, still a handful left, snap em up >>HERE ASAP

One last piece of sizzling off the press Scour Records news before you all duck down below. A huuuge pleasure to announce that our 2nd Artist Series release has arrived and is ***OUT NOW*** exclusively available from Juno Download. The Superstars of this release should be very well know to all avid Scour followers, previously Scoured on a total of 12 occasions between them, but now they join collaborative forces to deliver a truly awesome four track artist EP, choc full of win and laced throughout with all of the beloved Scour flavours – mini Scour in one release stylee!! Without further ado, allow me to introduce you to two of Greece’s very finest, namely S Strong & Funkanizer‘s delectable ‘Groove Gigolos EP’. Voila!

Cheers Spin’..F’arry time! Scour 99! Wow, one away from the big 100…feels like we should mark the occasion with something special

Big thanks to Magnus on Fire for stepping up to the blurb plate last time round, sterling job fella, we owe you a pack of polos and a topless massage x

We always like to start the Scour with an offering to the Gods of bass with something a little warm and comfortable, like urinating in a wetsuit, or on a catsuit, or on a cat – just kidding, we would never wee on a cat! Unlike those Dirty Dubsters! They squirt their fuzzy bass scent all over the place like drunk and leery Thundercats! Watch out now, they’re aiming their reggae hoses at us all – run! RUN! SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!! 65/130bpm ▼

Dub T can’t stand the rain, we feel you fella – we hate the rain too…and thrush. Don’t let them tell you that yoghurt is good for thrush, I spent a small fortune filling a bath with muller fruit corners and all I got was bitten by ants and bombarded by flying fox bats. They might look cute on telly but not when they’re dive-bombing for your glacier cherries! DUB T crumbles a Snoop Dog vocal into a choice blend of Missy Elliott, all rolled up in a tidy Telephone Riddim single skinner. Trail Blazin’! 80bpm ▼

Warm welcome to The Scour L’Entourloop! Pop your clothes on the side, we’ll be with you just as soon as we’ve finished making these dogging masks….L’Entourloop hails from France, I don’t know if they have dogging in France? Le Chienning? Does anywhere else ‘dog’?. Hey other countries! Do you do dogging? Or is it strictly a filthy English truckers thing. I now desperately need to know! Howla would know. 82bpm ▼

First of two freebies this Scour that come courtesy of the ever awesome Free Breaks Blog, via their recent celebratory 5000 likes giveaway, this one from Sir Very fell-down-the-stairs of Missile is back! Good day to you Bruce! Welcome back to The Scour. We always love your work, nothing different here – solid reggae mash that would grace any warm up set…or a badger set, in fact any set, excuse me whilst I pull some deep, slow lunges to this bad boy. Oooooh yeah, I can feel the tension releasing in my groin, Oi Oi, not like that! It’s technically known as the Hip Adductor, which is Bruce Missile down to a Tee.

Norway’s Blowshitup is on fire with this glacially stone cold Charles Jackson edit, so stone cold your tongue would actually stick to it! So make sure you give him a good thumbing, not a tonguing. Even typing the word ’Norway’ puts a shiver through me, it’s so chilly here in the UK that i’ve run out of Empire Strikes Back animals to cut open and sleep in! 99bpm ▼

Towerblock rocking Canadian B-MID is back! The Prince of wobble! The Lieutenant Governor of Glitch! The Mary Poppins of Bass! (prequel) His tunes are always inspiring, beautiful and crunchy like you’re a pack of biscuits in the glove box of his car, which is being slammed into a wall and filmed in a slow motion scientific car crash to aid the safety of other, future biscuit/bass lovers. Oi! This custard cream’s all metally! 95bpm ▼

Bryx. DJ, producer, lover, is there no end to his talents? Not really, listen to what he’s been and gone and done to top Ginge Ed Sheeran! Ed’s wicked, lovely tunesmith, but you wouldn’t ever say he was hard as nails. Bryx has created a real life Ginger Robocop! All that’s missing here is a metallic promise that you have ’20 SECONDS TO COMPLY’ All that red, I worry about the possibility of rust, Bryx has probably got that covered too. Classy bird that he is. I’d buy that for a dollar. 100bpm ▼

Welcome to The Scour Yanivi! My my! What have we here? Lasers is what we have here friends! Laser and more lasers, tied to the underbellies of an advancing horde of Mega-Foxu (Gigantic metal Japanese foxes) We’d salute you Sir, if we weren’t cowering behind our sofa, with knees a knocking, teeth a chattering, pants a filling, bladders a (an?) emptying! Good christ man, the floor is shaking so hard i’ve bitten my own tongue off – you win Mega-Foxu, You win! – oh, by the way, check out the real life carnage of this tune, courtesy of Plymouth’s legendary Bassfunk Crew

Fellow stalkers followers of J-Pod the beat chef will have heard and loved his Blues & BeBop mixtape released this past summer, well bugger me if he isn’t giving the individually crafted-with-love tracks away. Free. Like they’re air or something! Air of the rarest kind though, the sort of air you’d savour after spending a whole minute nuzzling the musty gusset of Sammy’s wetsuit. Not only will J-Pod be giving away a free track each week, he’s also got a brand spanking new all original 5 track EP coming out soon, called ‘Taking a Deep Breath’ out on Additech, (again, hopefully, not from Sammy’s mucky hooch). Eyes and ears peeled people! 103bpm ▼

SCOUR #99 EXCLUSIVE: J-Sound is a lovely man, one of the nicest men you’ll ever meet, he loves everything, he loves ponies, he loves butterflies, he loves ribbons and bangles but most of all, he loves Ice Cream. He hates only one thing, other people eating ice cream. I was eating a nice Vienetta slice and he came at me without warning, I tried to fight him off but he slapped me upside the head like he was in a bloody fight scene from The Bourne Supremacy, no quarter given. “EASY MATE” I cried, “It’s only Ice Cream! You can have it!…just a little lick for me though, yeah?”

Dephicit is a dark horse, don’t approach him from behind, when you feed him sugar cubes make sure you keep your palm flat, and for god sakes, stay well clear if he’s starting to get a frisky look in his eye, tell tale signs are a shivering of his flanks, a pricking of his ears, a raised neck, a flared nostril or a thoroughly massive erection. Today you may notice he has a raised tail and some anal winking, don’t worry, it isn’t defecation, it is a monster groove though! Whoa there boy! 110bpm ▼

Incoming Free Breaks Blog freebie number two. Who’d a thunk that a Bombstrikes artist could ever possibly be a Scourvirgin?!! It’s illogical, it doesn’t make any sense, it’s like you making me a documentary that displays in vivid and glorious technicolor that bears only defecate on porcelain flushing toilets, or that you get car jacked by Stephen ‘Screamin Jay’ Hawking who says to you, “…come…..quickly….we…..must….tell….Fat….Harry…something…about…the…Pope…” I feel a bit giddy, like I did when I found out in Jedi that Luke and Leia were brother and sister, then I remembered what happened in Empire and wondered how far that all went once the camera crew left.

Shaka Loves You. Yes! Result! Last time I saw the Shaka boys and played that game it came up that ‘My bike was shit’. What’s not to love about this! Turn This Thing Around is one of 4 tracks available for free as part of their ‘Party in a Box’ Edit packs. How awesome are Shaka Loves You? Imagine if you’d led a full and balanced life, punched a bear, snorted a line off of Mary Poppins’ ass, wrestled a crocodile, tamed it, became it’s friend and guardian, formed a successful and syndicated crime fighting duo with it, then, finally at the end of your days were actually killed by Brick from Anchorman with a trident and the last three words you ever heard on this planet were ‘I Love Lamp” quietly whispered into your ear, just for you alone to hear. Then you were given a full viking burial and your burning longship was gently pushed into the harbour by a team of Elvis lookalikes – THAT’s how awesome ‘Shaka Loves You’ are!

Welcome to The Scour Я0M0R! Pop your clothes on the side please, i’m just going to lift your wallet and get your credit card details, I’ve spent the last six hours and forty minutes trying to get the ‘R’ turned around. I started with a knife, it slipped and I gashed my hand, I used mirrors but with all the blood it slipped from my hand and nicked an artery, in a fit of pique I went at the keyboard with a flathead hammer, raging at the screen like a monkey with a bone from 2001 A Space Odessey. My flatmate broke my door down and called in an ambulance, I’ve just got back from A&E and am all good to go, except i’m tightly tucked into a straight jacket and am typing this onto a keyboard that could politely be described as looking like it was owned by the doctor from the human centipede with a chuppa chop lolly sellotaped on to the end of each elbow! Your credit card is just in case Apple care won’t cover it. Sexy tune fella! 113bpm ▼

Heh, I mostly write these blurbs as I hear the tunes for the first time, I had to delete this one and start again because I went in all ‘jaunty big guns’, and this tune by Sine Sickness is not about that in any way at all. Sometimes – you may have noticed – I can get a bit carried away, but this track deserves nothing but utter respect, it has a plain beauty that makes me want to mind my manners and hold doors open for it. Big Love x 125bpm ▼

Budge over Will Smith, I think you’ll find it’s Grant Lazlo who is Legend. This is the kind of Zombie movie someone should make, no one’s done dancing zombies since the Thriller video – it’s time for a dancing’ zombie/undead return! By the power of Greyskull! 130bpm ▼

Wood’n'Soo go all dramatic! And we love it! Chilled Bass thank you very much indeed. The musical equivalent of getting a massage by a blind Chinese wise woman. All deep and chakra freeing, mmmmm, yeah. On a lighter note, the wav form looks like the skeleton of a fish, a bass perhaps? Who knows, but it’s fishy and it’s bassey and it’s chakra-y and just damn fine. Tight lines! 150bpm ▼

Welcome to The Scour……..Featurecast? We can confirm that in, :ahem: clears throat, loses weight, changes colour of skin, grows taller, gets mad skills, releases an album, gets grammy, stars in a film, wins Bafta, becomes a millionaire, makes a line of clothes, releases 10 more albums, marries Beyonce, makes and sells own scent, becomes a gruffillionaire, steps up to the mic and says in my best Jay-Z accent “99 Scours and Lee Mintram ain’t (been in) one” Put a ring on it! 176bpm ▼

Jungle Boogie and Bass? yes! As weird and wonderful as The Snoop Lion documentary! Warm welcome to The Scour Pragmatik! Pop your clothes on the side, we’ll be with you as soon as we’ve got our fingers out of this Chinese puzzle doll, who knew they gripped so hard? South west Bassfunk crew member Pragmatik demands pants to be thrown at him, we played with the Bassfunk crew last month – not like with the doll – he made it very clear all our pants belonged to him, commando and swinging free like three Baloo bears, who were we to argue. Bare necessities! ALTERNATIVE DOWNLOAD LINK REQUESTED/AVAILABLE ON SOUNDCLOUD/IN TRACK DESCRIPTION 188bpm ▼

This remix by Ageless is wonderfully menacing, it could have been played in any scene from Full Metal Jacket…ummm, i’ll pick the scene where they ‘soap’ the big fella. Future classic this one, don’t judge it straight away, let this one play a few times and seep into your pours like some kind of L’Oreal ladies skin cream, because you’re worth it. It’ WILL become essential on your player x 96bpm ▼

Look at the time, it’s Curveball o’clock already. Welcome to The Scour Running Numbers! We’re lucky enough to be playing with these rapscallions on the 15th February at The famed Watering Hole in Perranporth – extremely excited about that, but more importantly, they are wonderful people, and they’re all getting married to each other and we love them dearly! Thank you for your time. Next time is Scour 100 – please bring cake! 150bpm ▼

Hello Metha! Congratulations on 10 years of Be Massive.First of all, please introduce yourself in 5 sentences.

My name is Metha, and I am a Hungarian DJ and producer.I have been a DJ for 11 years, and I have organized three party series in Budapest. Be Massive, No Disco, We Need Underground. My biggest event was in November —Be Massive—in which I celebrated 10 years in the party scene in Budapest. I always like a colorful style—my style is tech funk, which means high quality style mixes like techno, tech-house, break . . . so when I am playing I like to mix the styles.I am proud that I placed second at a DJ contest in Ibiza where DJ’s from 16 countries competed.

I read your profile, that you already played in Slovkia, when and where was it?

Yes, I played at Érsekujvar with JHz and Sikztah about 7 years ago.

From my view of the breakbeat scene, in Hungary there is a bigger party scene. You are doing big parties with well-known foreign DJs, do you think that the club scene in Hungary is more supported by sponsors, clubs, etc.?

So the clubs don’t have special sponsors. The organizing teams (like me) do. Burn was a very good sponsor for me and helped me make a Be Massive Boat party. They gave me a high quality butterfly sound system, and, of course, Burn drinks. Adidas Originals is also my sponsor. They provided me with stylish clothes, and footwear to wear during my gigs. In Hungary, the break scene is much smaller than 5 years ago. But that is another story . . .

Did you ever hear about Wave magazine? Is it in Hungary or some other similar magazine about electronic/dance music?

No!

Your debut release as a producer was on the Slovak label breaks.sk and we can say it was successful as it was reviewed by mixmag. How long are you producing? Which software are you using?

I have been producing for about 7 months, and Kid Panel helped me. I used Ableton. The track was almost ready, but I still lacked something . . . so that’s why it took me a long time . . . but I found it! I am very proud of this track!

Recently, I heard some house tunes from you. In the future, do you want to focus on techfunk/breaks sound or do you want to release all kinds of music? What do you think is better for producers? To focus on one style or do different styles of music?

Good question . . . now I make techfunk/break/techno styles, and I am working on some techno and warehouse stuff, too. I had a release in deep style, but I think if I want to make a strong brand I have to focus on my exact own sound style which is dark and deep. If every release is a different style, it is not good for my producer brand.
For example, Elite Force does very well. When he makes breaks, he uses the Elite Force name and If he make deep and techy, He Use Own name aka Simon Shackleton. When he does the warehouse style he uses the Zodiac Cartel name. He is a famous DJ so for him it works good.

The Be Massive party is one of the biggest/famous underground parties in Hungary. Why did you decide to run this party?

When I started I would like to build something of my own—my own flyers, my own style, and I did not want to compromise my style for anybody.

Was it hard in the beginning?

Yes, of course, and hard now, too. When I started 10 years before , I played every Thursday at a very small club, and the people didn’t like electronic music. After this place, I played three times a week all night long, and I learned a lot of things to make a good party.

Do you have a problem with attendance?

It is a new generation problem. A lot of party people don’t want to listen to the DJ set. They only want to hear what they know. Ten years before DJ’s were the music selectors. If I wanted to hear something new, I had to go to a party or vinyl shop. Now everything is on the Internet—sometimes even before the release.


Was it hard to build a successful party brand?

Very hard. Lots of big and strong brands were out there and they had to quit the party scene because not enough people want to the parties.
If you choose a “bad guest” or make a bad party, there is no more chance. So it is very stressful. I always want to bring something new. I don’t care about the big name, if he is not a productive producer or they music that I don’t like.
So our guests are always active, and I like then music.. It is difficult to find the balance for the crowd and my “style”. I have to believe that, what I like, people will like it, too. And if enough people trust my style, we will be good. The last 10 years it worked—so I am optimistic!

Could you recommend me some Hungarian artists who are on fire at the moment, who is the best Hungarian DJ and producer at the moment for you?

I am not being conceited but I like my style more than the others. But I do like Fine Cut Bodies, Kid Panel, and Lucky 23 is a very good talent and producer, too. I don’t really have a favorite so that’s why I am playing music and have my own event . . . because I like what I do.

Also someone from the international scene? Who is doing now the best music for you? Do you have some favorite producer or DJ’s?

Oh yes . . . my favorite dj is Elite Force, and I really like his produced work. I also like Mike Hulme and James Zabiella. I like Adam Beyer’s easier techno sets, and also the Drumcode label. One of my favorite producers now is Oliver Huntemann. I really like his last 3-4 tracks.. I liked his style 5 years agon then for 3 years I didn’t feel his all releases to much. Now I like him again 100%. My other favorites are Pig and Dan and Sam Paganini, too. They were my Be Massive guests last year. They are very good guys, good producers + dj’s too.

What is your daily job? Are you doing something else or is being a dj/producer your main job?

I’m working at a casting agency. I am a casting director, photographer, and cameraman. I don’t have as much time as I would like to make music.

What is your greatest achievement in music? Or is there something you want to achieve in the future?

My greatest achievement I played on the Arena stage at Balaton Sound festival this summer.Also getting second plan at the dj contest in Ibiza.My Be Massive event which is 10 years old + having my own stage & night at Balaton Sound in 2012 with Elite Force and Mike Hulme with sponsored by BURN.I’m verry proud about I play with UNKLE with James Lavelle in Manchester (thanks Lowdown c Dirty crew)…of course produce my own tracks :)

I would like to do the kind of music that is in my head. I want to develop a lot and later it would be nice to travel the world playing music! Anything else you want to say to Slovak readers?

Australian DJ Roxright recorded this set LIVE from "New Dimensions" on New Years Eve 2013. The party was held at what us Australians like to call a "Doof", like an illegal UK rave but held in the bushland rather than a warehouse. Apparently it was a mad night with an epic setting basically in the middle of nowhere and a line up of local talent.

Jon Kennedy is a drummer, dj and music producer who has long been spreading his passion for beats, bass lines and luscious melodies through his dj sets, radio shows and productions and following on from his Corporeal album release in mid-2013, he has just released a collection of remixes from the album on his own Jon Kennedy Federation label. The original album was an eclectic blend of genre bending trip hop and down tempo type grooves that in my opinion held ground with some of the biggest albums of the genre (did someone say Endtroducing) and on the remix front we again find vast arrays of genres present which should come as no surprise when you see the list of artists that are on offer.

The chilled trip hop feel is still ever present, particularly in Cartier Saucier, Exhibitor and Marc Mac’s offerings and there are also Jazz and Hip hop vibes abound on the mixes supplied by Sinuz, Oliver Lowe, Dj Flux & friends and Head Chamber, the latter being a head nodding remix of Pronounce Your Shit which has a sound very reminiscent of old school Gramatik that doesn’t disappoint. Things delve down and deep on the tunes from Marcus Intalex & Trevino,  Evirgen, Lopez & Undercover 83 and Phillip T.B.C whilst the tempo gets jacked all the way to max with Rolaz’s remix of Flow, N3GUS’s version of Bossa No Var  and JFB’s take on Live My Life all of which are gritty DnB numbers that still manage to capture the essence of the original tune, a testament to the genre jumping feel of the entire album.

Corporeal Remixed is a sublime collection of varied styles, vibes and tempos that, with the Jon Kennedy sound as a backbone, gives continuity to the album as a whole and makes for a thoroughly unique and enjoyable listening experience. Many of the tracks would also easily make the transition to the club setting but in my opinion the album needs to be listened to as a whole to get the full appreciation of its quality, a definite must have.

Jon Kennedy – Corporeal Remixed

The big news on the live front is that White Mink are returning to London with a quarterly residence at Village Underground. They’re kicking off on 8th Feb with an all star lineup of Bart & Baker, Kid Kasino, Nick Hollywood, Chris Tofu and many more. If you’re in the capital it’s got to be the place to be.

Of course up here we’re getting ready for our next Electro Swing Ball. If you wondering what I keep going on about, check out our latest promo video here:

Finally make sure you check out Free Breaks Blogs new sample pack Beat Juice Vol. 1. With over 500 expertly crafted original breaks loops this is a must for any producer, remixer and DJ.

Free Music Oh my god I got excited when this turned up on my soundcloud feed. The Phantom has become such a classic in the swing world, and any excuse to play it again has to be a good thing. Plenty of festivals are going to be hit by this beauty this summer!

This freebie from Cee-Roo is supremely funky and will fit nicely into many a set.

Grant Lazlo has been celebrating the festive season by being really generous. He’s given away a tasty remix of Stevie Wonders Superstition, three tracks off his album, and one older track. The quality of all of them is really good and if you like these check out his album here.

Check out this swinging mashup with loads of soul! Quality Tomahawk stuff:

And another… on a slightly strange swing tip that I’m struggling to explain…

New Releases Kiss Me Yesterday – Downtown Stoned EP Vienna’s Kiss Me Yesterday seem to be going from strength to strength and they’ve come through with another strong EP with remixes by Swingbot, Extra Medium, incontroL and Lord Justice. It’s available for 5 Euros from bandcamp.

Jamie Berry & Jazzotron – Kiss Me Jamie Berry is back with a release with Jazzotron called Kiss Me. It’s a bit slower than his usual releases but definitely worth a look.

Electric Swing Circus – Bella Belle (Remix Competition Winners Preview) It’s not available until late February, but if you fancy knowing who won the Electric Swing Circus’ remix competition here’s the 5 winning entries. They’re all sounding really good and will no doubt be heard a lot this summer.

This has sneaked in at the end because I don’t want to forget this! Sound Nomaden has been reaching even further back into the dusty reaches of time with this remix of Antonin Dvorak (1841 – 1904). Sound Nomaden is hoping to get it released in March.

DJ Mixes Shout out to the Boomtown Kaptin for this rather fine selection mixing up all the best swinging cover versions:

Big Swing Soundsystem Got It Covered by Big Swing Soundsystem on Mixcloud

The hardest working man in the DJ world is back with another of his Hookz & Swings Mixtapes. Check out the tracklist on this baby!

Rather like this mix from Menage Quad – in particular love being reminded about the Funk Hunters tasty remix of Sam & Dave:

Phos Toni sneaks in at the end with an all vinyl mixtape (pretty impressive in this day and age)

That’s it for this week. If you’ve got anything you’d like included in future roundups hit me up on soundcloud. To find out more about my own events check out the Electro Swing Ball.
