So it turns out George Fotiadis is a busy man. As the dood behind BASEMENT FREAKS (and THE SPANK! ) he's been one of the pioneers of ghetto funk. His wobbly, funk-infused, mid-tempo bits n bobs have been moving dance floors for over a hot minute, even winning a position on the Hollywood hills. The latest Freaks' long player, released on Jalapeno Records , takes off of where "Something Freaky" left. This album bypasses the big basslines, and instead wah wah wahs a mid-tempo break [...]
It's all beginning to make sense now. A few months back we heard THE SPANK ! 's moombah stomper remix of Timothy Wisdom's "Jiggle What You Got." I remember thinking to myself, who is this fellow? Some new talent signed to BOMBASTIC JAM ? At the time, I couldn't find any info on the fella. Turns out he's none other than the German funky breaks pioneer, BASEMENT FREAKS . In this side project, The Spank! delves into the realms of bass music, jumping from moombahton, dancehall, [...]
So, some mates and I are throwing our second swing party and it's going down this Saturday. The first one (last November) was easily the most rammed, all-locals show I've seen and was definitely one of the best shows I've played, let alone partied at. We're hoping the excitement continues, obviously. You can grab the details in the poster above but if you need more check the facebook event here . Roaring 2020s : electro swing, gypsy house, Balkan beats, Bulgarian basslines, breakbeat jive, presented by Memetic With Nathan Zhan, [...]
Some Manalogue funk favourites hit a milestone this year. To commemorate their tenth year of sewing the seeds of Funk, the FORT KNOX FIVE reached into their vaults and selected 15 of their favorite originals for a massive compilation. Don’t call this a greatest hits collection – though every track is indeed a great hit – this is a selection straight from the heart of the four men who created it. Seasoned, eclectic, traveled and varied, here are songs that span the musical globe. Elements of reggae, dub, hip hop, techno, rock, R&B, swing, [...]
Independent record labels are sprouting up all over the place - in location & style. And the ones that are doing it right not only have a choice selection in catalogue, but also take the time to artfully craft their image as they do their artists. Each of these 12 labels sport some of the most well respected producers & musicians that belong on this blog and create a culture with style around their music. On here I may point out a few that lack in proper online presence, but they are all doing [...]

Austin trio, LANCE HERBSTRONG , have maintained an element of funk in their tunes and at times accented it with a bit of ghetto. Their not ones to follow patterns either, releasing material as diverse as weedsmoke - they graft the guts from a spectrum of influences into something unexpected. Lance Herbstrong, are back at it again, fusing Xavier Rudd and a glitchy backbone with a history of space travel. ++++++++++ Lance Herbstrong Links: Lanceherbstrong.com Lance Herbstrong on SoundCloud [...]

![CASSIUS – 99 A.SKILLZ REMIX [FREE DOWNLOAD]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4779369_lg.jpg)
It's been a minute since we've seen a bootleg from A.SKILLZ . This time he takes a classic house tune (Cassius), which was built on a classic disco sample (Donna Summer), then dials in a bit of wobble and a subtle break. Much of the original is kept in tact, including the tempo which may sway some house aficionados or make this an ideal tune to bridge a variety of sets. Very good Mr. Mills. Carry on.
