FUNK ME ITS THURSDAY



DJ Center - Center’s Groove – Captain Planet Remix



Release Date: Out Now
Label: Bastard Jazz
Genre: Funk


About The Track: Just in time for summer, long-standing Brooklyn label Bastard Jazz Recordings is proud to bring you a little slice of sunshine from New York City's DJ Center. “Center's Groove”, a natural fit on Bastard Jazz, was taken from DJ Center's critically acclaimed debut album, Everything in Time LP, and was a standout favorite for the likes of the Huffingtonpost, Okayplayer.com, Bobbito, DJ Vadim and Nickodemus and received heavy rotation on KCRW in Los Angeles.

The original track itself is a beautiful midtempo piece of bossa-hop, complete soaring horns and easy tropical guitar vibes - perfect for getting those feet moving as the sun goes down over the BBQ grill. Bastard Jazz artist Captain Planet pulls “Center's Groove” towards the dancefloor even more with boomin' drums, samba whistles & cuicas, dirty synth bass, and funky Rhodes work that could have come straight from Bob James himself.

D-Funk/Philly Blunt – Let It Ride Ep
A freebee on this release: Philly Blunt – Funky Music



Release Date: 2011.08.22
Label: Grits N Gravy
Catalog# GNG004
Genre: Funk


About The EP: Following on from their previous collaboration, "Time To Move", Aussie breaks mangler D-Funk and Grits N Gravy label boss Philly Blunt reunite for "Let It Ride", a low-slung '80s funk-meets-soulful rap hybrid that smashes in hard with a slinky electro bassline and a swirling set of disco strings. Two new solo D-Funk beats also see the light of day - the equally head-nodding thrills of "Turn That Upside Down" and the Clash-sampling "Don't Ever Stop" - while Philly Blunt's excellent blues 'n' breaks-fest "Funky Music" also gets a well-earned release.

Nynfus Corporation – Coolio Returns
  

About The Track: Another freebee by Nynfus Corporation, this time using a Coolio sample. Good use of vocals with a wobbly & gritty bassline. Great production.

Label: Bombastic Jam
Catalog# Freebee
Genre: Ghetto Funk


About The Artist: This fresh name stands for 3 peeps who recently have appeared in the international scene, yet their local experiences go back further much behind. Vida G., Stefan and Clairvo, each of them having their own weekly club-night residencies in their hometown, Budapest, had been teasing the crowd for more than a decade now.

Coming from the crew of one of the local breakbeat heroes called AllNightBreakz, DJ Vida G. has been testing his funky influenced party-breaks and disco tracks for ages on venues such as Cinetrip, Sziget Fesztival, Volt Fesztival and also at internationally well known clubs like Corvintet
ő, Merlin Budapest or Instant where he was sharing the booth with acts like Herbaliser, Hybrid, Freeland, Krafty Kuts, A-Skillz, Pendulum, Kraak N Smaak or The Freestylers among many others. Besides playing out his tunes weekly and checking peeople’s reactions, he has also gained the knowledge of producing by making remixes for hungarian stars like Irie Maffia or Anima Sound System.

The threesome, separately having releases under their belts on labels such as Resense, Timewarp Music, V.I.M. Records and Breakbeat Paradise Recordings, with remixes on BigM Productions and Breaks.sk, have united now to step into the wolrd of ghetto-funk and funky-breakz.





Neon Steve – Movin On (recommend!!!)

  

About The Track: What can I say…this tune is awesome, dirty groove & great vocals….all in all a slick and funky production.

Release Date: 2011.09.12
Label: Punchout! Recordings
Catalog# HISCORE 800
Genre: Funk

About The Artist: Whether it be his fresh face, fresh beats or fresh attire, it's hard not to notice Neon Steve. Hailing from Victoria BC on Vancouver Island, Steve is quickly making his mark as one of the West Coast's top DJ's/Producers.

At the ripe age of 22, Steve's list of accomplishments has already grown to be quite impressive. Whether it be his infectious live act (that recently seen him take 1st place in the 2010 Hush DJ Challenge), or his ability of being able to craft ass-shaking tunes in the studio, it's no surprise he's had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the worlds top acts (artists such as A.Skillz, Rusko, Krafty Kuts, Boy 8 Bit, Nick Thayer, Parker, Pimpsoul, The Freestylers, MSTRKRFT, Freq Nasty, Fort Knox Five, Deekline, Farace, Mat the Alien, Busta, Stickybuds, J-Roc, and Ed 209 to name a few).

When Steve jumps behind the decks you can expect a high energy blend of everything from Disco to Drum and Bass. Matched with some precise cuts and clever personal edits a plenty, Steve has certainly developed his own brand of party rockin'. 2010 proved to be a successful year for Steve with a touring schedule that took him all around British Columbia and Alberta. He played some major festivals like Soundwave, VEMF, and Rifflandia, as well as some massive Club night's.

His production credits thus far boast remixes for Jpod's label (Swing Set Sounds), and Bass Bong records. On more than one occasion, a number of Steve's bootlegs quickly hit the top of the Hype Machine and Soundcloud charts - And this kid is only warming up. Off to a running start in 2011, Steve has already got a vinyl release on the notoriously popular Bombstrikes Label (UK), a release on Canada's own Punchout! label, also with a remix for Funk Weapons in the works. With support from the likes of Featurecast, Pimpsoul, Parker, Stickybuds, Busta, Slynk, etc, etc....

It's safe to say the future is indeed very bright for this young talent.. And they don't call him Neon Steve for nothing.

Strictly this is known as breakbeat but I feel it crosses enough over into the funk field to deem worthy of a post…plus it’s a banger!





JiggyJoe – Da Trumpets

"Da Trumpets" uses a trick used by dancehall freaks from Basement Jaxx to Dillon Francis - namely the slowly pitch-rising vocal, layered over a confident and punchy midtempo bass beat.

Release Date: 2011.08.29

Catalog# BBP-036
Genre: Breakbeat
