A very thoughtfully put together piece of music that will feature on Bloody Tadi’s upcoming EP, Cheen Cheen Bitches. It will be released on Busted Beats, which is a new sub-label of my pals Cold Busted. This lovely bit of Electro-Funk will be available on February 9th.
Oh look, it’s another Cold Busted release. Oh, and guess what? Yep, it’s as amazing as ever. This is everything I love about Hip-Hop instrumentals, and more. Cold Busted is still my favourite label in the world and this is just one of the many reasons why. You can have a Blue Peter badge if you guess the samples. Out February 2nd.
Public House is the brain child of Finnian Casey (soundcloud), and is a label that is set to blow the house scene apart with its bass driven funk infused tracks. His night Public House (named after the Label) boasts a concerted party ethic set to a backdrop of conscientiously made tunes featuring guest DJ appearances from the cream of underground Techno and House movement. The track below is a remix of my favourite Frank-N-Dank tune, Ma Dukes. As far as House music goes, this is as funky and good as it gets. Excited to see/hear what more they have to bring us in the near future.
Suff Daddy (Berlin) and Lefto (Brussels) have re-edited the Charles Earland classic, Coming To You Live, from 1980. Suff Daddy turns the song into a typical Suff jam with sick vocal samples, airhorns and micro korg licks. This is class.
Stones Throw are releasing an anthology of rare & unreleased 1982-1986 recordings from The J.B.’s drummer and creator of the Granddaddy of all House Records, Tony Cook. Here is the first track, featuring Dam-Funk.
Quincy Jones’ new album, Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, is definitely one of the more interesting LP’s of 2010. A couple of the tracks and features are absolutely awful, but there are a few gems on there and this one with Snoop Dogg is a little bit special. Got me really excited for Doggystyle 2.
Here is a new track taken from JK Soul’s upcoming album, Shadows, which is to be released November 17th on one of my favourite labels in the world; Cold Busted. With the Funk & Soul influences still evident; JK has ventured down the road of Dubstep. The results are mesmerising - get your ears around this.
You won’t hear many mixes as riveting as this 15-minute break marathon. It sports classic breaks looped against skits of music aficionados extolling the virtues of vinyl. Dusty, gritty, and so damn funky. Love this. Tracklist after the jump.

Another track from Cee-Lo’s upcoming album, Lady Killer. This guy never ceases to amaze me. Goodie Mob, Dungeon Family, Gnarls Barkley and Cee-Lo Green - no matter what name he is under; it is guaranteed to be music of the highest quality. After hearing this, I have a feeling that the album could be the best Soul/Funk release for years. I hope so anyway. Not gonna listen to any more leaks until the whole thing comes out. Until then, this will be on repeat.
