Skeewiff - Ghetto Latin

Howdy guys, here is the freshest release by UK funky breaks "legend" Skeewiff. Lately Alex Rizzo the man behind the scenes has dedicated himself to Remix a lot of old vintage genres and styles fom all around the globe. His latest album is called "Ghetto Latin" and this is what he says about it:
".. born from a love of all things latin & Dance. It is a Skee-Journey through the archives... from the 18th Century Waltz, 19th Century Polka, Rumbas, Tangos, Bossas and Sambas. If it has historically got butts shaking... we’re all over it."
Check it out if you like heavy basslines, funky breaks, cumbia riddims and latin vibes!

Restless Leg Syndrome - Dabkeh

Hey folks, today I want to introduce to you the "Restless Leg Syndrome" based in Austria. Their brand new EP called "Dabkeh" is a great mixture of Breaks and Scratches combined with arabian percussions and samples from traditional mediterranean music. The concept behind the joint-venture consisting of d.b.h and the two turntable wizards Chrisfader and Testa is quite simple: Take a specific genre of music, sample and flip it into danceable beats. In the case of their second EP, named after a popular Mediterranean form of line-dancing, the subject of the musical explorations is the Arab world. The three guys from RLS spent quite some time mining old vinyl or cassettes to create the tracks on this EP, in the hopes of getting some wild Dabkeh moves started on dancefloors worldwide!
