In 2003 Aniligital Music released our first 'All Your Beats' compilation. Featuring the very best funky left field beats from Tal M. Klein (then known as Trancenden), Skizzo Franick, and Cleo's Apartment (whose founder, Jazzcop now released music as solo project he calls Manned Missiles). The compilation was a hit and we came back three years later with an acclaimed second volume. Now, in 2010 'All Your Beats' is coming back featuring fresh new material from our core team of producers.
AYB v.3 kicks things off with Skizzo Franick whose recent remix for Ursula 1000's 'Star Machine' has just been released on Eighteenth Street Lounge records. His contribution to this compilation is 'Sydney Chainsaw Love', an original early 70's style Italo cinemadelica flavoured track that mixes Juno basslines with Sergio Mendes style horns. The song is a kitchen sink of funky flavors all tinged with Skiz's trademark swagger and tasty Fender Rhodes solos, his weapon of choice.
Next up is a classic never before released Tal M. Klein track! 'Listen!' is at its heart and old-fashioned funk breaks pleaser, equal parts Fifth Dimension, Joe Bataan, and Melvin Van Peebles with a mellow bass groove and disco lasers for the kids, it's a fun track to get the party started.
And the icing on the cake, arguably the funkiest man in Utah, Manned Missiles comes correct with an extended mix of his new track 'Chuckles Flavor' - an epic beatmaker's odyysey to the MPC swing. Filled with a generous helping of funky beats and deep grooves, it's all about the strut from start to finish.
