(7"/Digital) Jack To Phono JTP027/JTP027D, 2011-10-17

Don't say Boca's back; he's never been away. Scott "Boca 45" Hendy is the Bristol UK beatsmith who's been at the forefront of funky breakbeat music for well over a decade. With three solo artist albums in the bag, Pitch Sounds, Vertigo Sounds and Bombonera Sounds for labels Jalapeno, Grand Central and Unique, dancefloor devastating collabos with DJ Andy Smith as Dynamo Productions, and The Beekeepers project with rising star Parker, now has never been a better time to catch a Boca 45 fever. Return Of The Original Dance Freaks parts 1 & 2 sees Boca's debut on Jack To Phono Recordings. Boca here pays homage to legendary Japaneese label Major Force (with artwork to match) and supplies a Disco/Hip Hop/Cut and Shut/Dancefloor monster which will keep floors shaking into 2012 and way beyond. His love of disco, soul, funk and hip-hop jumps out of anything he touches, and it's easy to make comparisons to fellow sample-slayers like Cut Chemist, RJD2, DJ Format and DJ Shadow.

(Digital) Jack To Phono JTP026D, 2011-10-10

What has emerged is a striking mix of psych/hip hop cut together to sound like an encyclopedia of contemporary music. 2010's Contaminated Waters weaved itself through various genres of music from golden era hip-hop to rock, via revered break beats, dub, and classic guitar riffs. Here on this fresh new EP for 2011 Scott Hendy has managed to construct another heavy nugget from the files with Cosmic Dust. The track is Bass and Beat heavy, but has riffs which Hendrix would had been proud of and all round winner which should work on dance floors and radios alike. It's accompanied by remixes from Bristol rising star DJ Parker and Jack To Phono label mates Phase 5 Stereo. The almost classic Contaminated Waters Part 4 is also included within the EP with the Acid Washed video by award winning film Director John Minton and HOT brand new remixes from Ben One turning out a Flying Lotus-inspired mix and Tom Eno has taken the same track back to a mid 70's rock steady number. A super varied quality package from Jack To Phono HQ.

Tombee is back with his 4th release on Jack to Phono with Strike Up The Band. Hailiing from Newcastle (home of the Brown) DJ, producer and film-maker Tombee often describes his sound as Folk-Hop. The definition of Folk music, if you look it up, is music handed down from generation to generation, which when considering the beats interwoven and flipped here, kinda makes sense... This time Tombee teams up with Mr Konfuze & Lunatic, Tom Eno and Winter North Atlantic to create one eclectic download and remix package! Supporters of Tombee's music include DJs Smoove, Djouls, Shepdog, Parker and Mr Goju.

His sound has been turning heads with hefty praise from heavyweight DJs & tastemakers alike including BBC Radio 1's Rob Da Bank and Hôtel Costes, who featured his track Tijuana on one of their compilations.

When Mr. James Bright and Tom Eno are left alone for too long, a little something special tends to happen. Following the successful release of their debut solo records, Big Sounds From Small Spaces (Tape Club Records) and Barnstormer (Jack To Phono), the pair have joined forces to cultivate their own unique breed of garden-space-funk. Emerging from the shed as Tickler Tea and Magic Fuzz, the duo have traded in their cowboy boots for moon boots, and have developed a rich new sound which brings them to the forefront of the funk/glitchop era. Following recent live sessions for the BBC, this momentary lapse from their traditional country-hispanic-pop-folk is bound to excite those in the beat-world. Featuring remixes by Fear of Theydon (Sunday Best Recordings), Dogtanion (Tape Club Records), The Shakedown is released worldwide digitally and on limited 7' via Tape Club Records/Jack-To-Phono.
