The Cast-A-Blast label from Athens, Greece is dynamite with its explosive mix of hip-hop, funk & breaks, the records are impossible to find in France, though... Here's a selection of a some supacool records, especially the excellent album from DJ/producers Palov et Mishkin, rather close to what G.A.M.M. has been releasing...

Palov & Mishkin - Think Twice (CD/Cast-A-Blast)
Selectively combines heavy guitar funk, south American flavors, block breaks and exotic soul with tropicalismo in a playful mash down of styles and genres - More info on ParisDJs.com

The Ottawa Bros. - Duck Soup (CD/Cast-A-Blast)
Crusty blend of percussive breaks, afrobeat grooves, cinematic scapes and even the occasional psychedelisized swing to pseudo funky/rocky/jazzy flavors - More info on ParisDJs.com

Blend aka Mishkin - Sudden Death (CD/Cast-A-Blast)
An album with the philosophy of a mixtape, done with a mpc sampler, a big stack of records, loads of spoken words on vinyl, a turntable, a microphone and MCs
