This week’s guest artist, Funkanizer (aka Mike Pal), comes to us all the way from Greece. Mike’s first foray into music was as a bass player and for the last three years he has been making his mark on the international Ghetto Funk scene from his native Athens. His latest EP, Groove Gigolos a co-production with S Strong on Scour Records, has been a huge success. And if you scour the Internet for quality bass driven music like we do, then you know Mike’s work is supported by some of best bass music blogs around including Ghetto Funk (Spinforth’s Scour), HongKongPingPong and Free Breaks Blog just to name a few. For his appearance in The Armory this week, Mike has all of the four major food groups well represented (ghetto funk, glitch hop, breakbeat and drum and bass) in this fabulous 55-minute mix set. Enjoy.

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.
