BBP171: VA – Swing That Funk Vol. 3

It’s that time to get your swinging jazz pants on, and get down to Swing That Funk Vol.3.

In keeping with tradition, have we got 7 tracks all with that swing/jazz influence. With a range of genres including Breaks, Electro House, Glitch Hop, Hip Hop and Funk, this release gives you all a taste of how sing and jazz can be used by all.

Kicking off this sweet EP, is Mr. Ours with what can only be described as an absolute banger. It’s got that head nod feel, that will blow your socks off with the first drop, and keep you jumping from start to finish. It’s a difficult one to follow, but Swim INC brings it big with his funky glitch number, with a bit of a jazzy country feel, to make sure that dancefloor keeps filled. Changing up the styles, Basschimp has delivered a real Hip Hop number, surrounded with a vintage sound, keeping you captivated by the lyrical flows of Enel, and the soulful voice of Pandicat. If you want your music with jazz and rock’n’roll, then Fredy High is the man. Horns and saxes fill this track up, with some sweet vocals flowing over.

Changing the tempo up again, it’s time for Skank Spinatra to get your feet moving again. This couldn’t be any more swing if you tried. A real bass heavy swing house number, with jazzy stabs, and an awesome bassline to boot.  Getting back on the glitch tip, we have new and upcoming artists Bright Idea and Funkinright teaming up to provide a super funky Jazz glitch bumber. With smooth synths, a funky guitar and big bad bass, these guys have done a top job. Finishing the release off os label stablemates Funkin’ Basstards who come with what can only be described as pure Swing Hop. Boom Bap, smooth bass and jazz all over, this is the perfect track to round off Swing That Funk Vol. 3.
