Skeewiff - Put Your Hands Together (2018)

Out digitally on November 16th via Pedigree Cuts. Featuring The Brand New Heavies and Baby Bam (Jungle Brothers)

Founders of the legendary Jalapeño records, the home of their first releases - Skeewiff have blazed a trail in the field of Breakbeat and funk for over 20 years. ‘Put Your Hands Together’ brings together some of their key collaborators of recent years to make up an exquisitely produced and supremely groovy collection.

Fans of the groove maestros won't be strangers to the red herring (but darned cute) cover image - but seconds into track ’Starsky And June’ reveals a modern funksploitation classic featuring scene veterans The Brand New Heavies. ‘I Don’t Follow The Trend’ featuring Baby Bam (Jungle Brothers) from received numerous plays in the summer from Zoe Ball on her BBC R2 show and Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamaq on their BBC 6 music shows.

Other participants such as Freak Power’s Ashley Slater (via his Kitten And The Hip project) and piano genius Dan Hewson make this a record of such caliber that it plays out like this year’s prime crate digger compilation. It’s completely mind-blowing that this is the creme of an act’s output over a two year period and if mention of their co-conspirators isn’t enough - let that thought be your recommendation and hit play NOW!
