Congo Tardis #1 is waving the flag for Tropical Bass in Australia! They are the first australian tropical / tribal soundsystem represented by the Melbourne based DJs and producers Ms Butt, Paz and Lewis CanCut. Their first offical Release, a 3-track EP with the appropriate title “Number One”, is out now, worldwide! To be honest, I really was looking forward for this, in my opinion it gives a very good overview of the variety of styles they play. There are elements of 3ball Guarachero, Cumbia, UK Funky, Kuduro, Dancehall, Bashment, Kwaito, Baile Funk, Afrobeat, Dub, Dubstep, House, Latin Funk and Disco, Soca, Swamp Funk, Krewe Beat. In other words: everything we call “tropical bass”. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy this.

This is the first very own Release of the french-german DJ and producer Duo Hat+Hoodie on Berlin based label Be Bonkerz, run by Leg-No and Chris De Luca. “Gimme Some” is a 3 track instrumental EP which fuses british music styles like UK Funky and Garage with south african Kwaito and angolan Kuduro.

Moveltraxx just released this sweet little EP from polish trio Hush Hush Pony. Baboo comes in the original version and two remixes from producers Brane and Spox. The track delivers a really nice uptempo UK Garage vibe with a certain touch of nostalgia through heavy vinyl sample use. Brane popped it up to a jumping 2Step banger while Spox went for a more dreamy midtempo version.
This one is for all the UK Funky fans! On Christmas Day, the UK based producer Trio Funkystepz dropped this free EP to say “thanks” for your support, so far.
The EP includes six great and unreleased Refixes, they did in the past.
Sorry, no previews available, you need to trust us in this case! It’s big…

Free Mixtape from the Birmingham based Rapper Trilla (Jermaine Trilloskii) featuring a couple of new Tunes and some great Remixes of his well known ones!

Pollinate Records is continuing its excellent Nectah EP series with volume 4, this time featuring UK producer Murlo. The preview reveals 4 tracks, partly quirky beats, partly highly danceable uptempo bangers, all jumping back and forth between Soca, Tropical and Funky. Notably outstanding is the Soca-joint “Transform” featuring Munich-based MC Doubla J. The EP is due to drop on November 21st.
As Murlo is notorious for his Dancehall and Soca remixes you should definitely not sleep on his freshly dropped take on one of the UK anthems in 2011, Stylo G’s “Call mi a yardie”. It’s available for free via Soundcloud and an absolute bouncer:
Two weeks after the Release of A.L.’s UK Funky banger “Tell Me”, they’ve dropped another Video for the Remix featuring Mercston, Stutta and Ghetts, all well-known names from the UK Grime and HipHop scene! In my opinion the most important UK Funky tune this year, so far!
