well, it might be frozen up north, but that doesn’t stop jussi-pekka to keep the jackers coming! our man from nokia has a long list of releases, and his first release for floppy funk is another cracker. “regression” is a magic old school slightly acid house track. “depression” is more modern and techno, keeping a deep edge. the “regression” remix courtesy of frankie (the man who keeps jackin and freakin with his franke label) is another fine crazy tune to go nuts!

yes, here he is again: tom ellis! the top funk jammer! the guy making the bounciest and sexiest basslines around! the man keeping the beats and bleeps coming! tom ellis represents the sound of floppy funk so well, as his tunes are funky, freaky, jackin yet smooth groovers. with releases on hartchef, frankie, moon harbour, morris/audio or his recent 12″ on minibar, tom ellis knows the score. this tribute to the leeds clubnight “twaddle” is a 4-track chunky dancefloor filler ep. may the funk be with you!

roar! the donks follow up the karaoke destroyer ep “sing along with” on floppy funk with another jackin 4-tracker. this time presented to you as a nutricious meal. hehu! “poing poing” is a deep bowl of rolling aquatic minimal house. seasoned with sharp-as-knives percussion, klonks, owl-like bleeps and the obvious cut-up biz, this is full-on for the mini (m-nus) heads. poing! next up is the main course, “hoppetoss”. a spicy tech dish that grooves totally in its own league. bim-ba-bam, a-a-ah, oh, that stupid noodling hook recalling “geht’s noch”. still hungry? flip for “acid boys horses girls” as the boys take on a beefy slab of acid house. slow, dirty and gritty, with just enough phat to make it succulent! nice. watch yourself for the freaky parts (features the demented vocals of martin donk). “bladen bus” is the busy little dessert that finishes off the ep. a cute, but brutal (whole grain), chicago house onslaught. loosen your belt and throw those funny fists in the air! till next time – eat your greens and party on boys, girls, and horses…

floppy funk keeps its freaky bleepy jackin style with new signing le k aka sylvain garcia from france. after his first solo release “hurluberlu” on the faboulous circus company label, le k is back in action with more ass shakin music. dirty beats and basslines, a jackin rhythm, crazy sounds: welcome to the raw funk! the titles say it all: johnny rotten disco balls, jack transmission, give me a k. quirkfunkhouserock? twistedfunkhouse? maximicrofunktech? le k is everything you need to get you party started! make sure you check out his amazing live set as soon as he’ll be playing around your house! vive le k!

with releases on hartchef, frankie, moon harbour, morris/audio or frankie, tom ellis is top funk jammer! his “rum scum” release is a special triple-layer deep-fill extravaganza of an ep! tom supplies the main ingredients, kicking things off on the a-side with bleeps, beats and basslines exploding into chunky dancefloor fillers. on the b-side, it’s fab frech producer skat (well know for his releases on karat) adding his deep and tricky flavour to “rum scum”! may the funk be with you!

hot on the heels of their debut ep for frankie (cpstyre), the swedish newcomers donk boys aka thomas jaldemark and martin abrahamsson presents four new hot trax on floppy funk! … so, gather your friends, treat yourselves to a couple of beers and sing along with donk boys’ karaoke smashers! knäck-pscht!

floppy funk welcomes a new talent: joe ellis! joe has been djing on the welsh party scene for years, and is a regular at trimsound and mindtours events playing a blend of original house music and minimal techno. joe’s been inspired by the music and djing skills of people like daniel bell, derek carter and chris carrier, along with welsh dj’s and producers like his brother tom ellis and electroinique audio. his “horses for courses” release is a journey into deep, minimalistic house, keeping a funky edge. the remixes from mossa and tom ellis&leif add a more clubby feel and make this 12″ is well rounded pack

now it’s time for guillaume to continue his quest for the ultimate ham bone funk recipe with his solo project: guillaume & the coutu dumonts! a special blend of funk, house, techno, gospel, swing, barbershop quartet and afro-beat! “boogie woogui”, his second solo output after his hartchef debut, presents two special tracks of sweet and hypnotic grooves that will make any dancefloor climb a few steps towards a better place. the funky basslines wrapped in warm and soulfull blanket of old bluesy samples will seduce even the grumpiest. this 12″ is completed by a matt john (perlon) remix which keeps the groove steady and focused on one goal: make you all dance, smile and wiggle! jump on our soul train and shake your ass…shake your ass!
