Description of Featurecast One Step Re-Edit

Summer anthems alert! Featurecast turns his hand at re-working the Aretha classic into an uplifting hip hop flavoured joint that brings smiles for miles. On the flip, the Loot Beggar mashes up Miss Winehouse and Alton Ellis into a spaced out jazz/reggae future classic.

Title:Around The Block EP
Label:Jalapeno Records
BAM ! POW ?!! and other comic book type exclamations meet the news that one of the baddest brothers on the breaks and bass scene has put pen to paper and signed to Jalapeno Records.

Featurecast (Lee Mintram to his mum) has an album on the way with a serious seasoning of top vocalists including Greg Blackman (a mainstay of the album), high flying UK bluesman John Turrell, Hospital Records D&B vocalist of choice Pat Fulgoni, plus MC Alaska, C Reid and Pugz Atom dropping urban science whenever and wherever required.

Prior to signing to Jalapeno, Featurecast has released on a variety of happening labels like Bomb Strikes, Good Groove and Catskills as well as Funk Weapons in the US and the burgeoning Ghetto Funk label in the UK. One of his early productions was even snapped up by Apple to promote the IPOD ' yep those ads with the silhouettes dancing round ' that was our boy.

His DJ sets are the stuff of legend and he regularly tours North America and Australia where his brand of bass fuelled turntablism is in serious demand. Featurecast has crafted his own unique sound combining amazing pinpoint scratching whilst effortlessly cutting between Funk, Hip-Hop, Breaks, Dubstep and Drum & Bass. He's dazzled the crowds of some of the biggest festivals and venues around the globe with Canada's legendary Shambhala festival being the scene of one of his biggest triumphs.

Featurecast has shared productions duties on previous releases with legends of the bass scene like Krafty Kuts and house heavyweight James Zabiela (who credits Lee with teaching him to scratch) as well as remixing everyone from Aretha Franklin to Finley Quaye.

Basically his whole life has been building towards this album and now his time has come.

First out of the gates from the new material is 'Around The Block EP'. A big beating, ghetto funkin' bad ass slice of bass and breaks business.

Lead track Around The Block features MC Alaska who is fresh from a hot collaboration with The Freestylers. C. Reid provides the science on two more tracks while soul man Greg Blackman rounds the ep off in style, already picking up radio plaudits from Craig Charles on his 6 Music Funk show for this track.

The next instalment in the Dubplate series sees another mysterious producer step up to the plate. Stubby Dials frankly takes liberties with Colman Brothers' brand spanking new dance floor jazz cut "Mr. DG", chopping up its trademark horns, and adding some familiar sounding beat-box, tough drums and familiar vocals over the top.

Mysterious Danish producer Holtoug takes a couple of soulful favourites and maximizes their dance floor potential on 7-inches of wax!

"Preacher Man" chops up the original guitar hook, brushes and bass-line, adding a little 4/4 kick, percussion and those oh so classic vocals to make a very timely party season banger!

"Express Yourself" combines sliced and diced horns, squelchy synth bass, a serious back-beat with original funk fuelled vocals making this cheeky edit one that’s sure to work on any dance floor worth its salt.
