Track 4 from my Party Weapons series. Weapon A Brings you a pounding dancefloor Breaks / 4x4 track designed for the club, where people just want to lose themselves and just go for it. Built around the classic Apache loop, additional elements are drawn from the Mighty Dub Katz and the end result should give you a little smile and a feeling of needing to pump ya fists to the beat. This one also comes with 90s Jump Up DnB inspired VIP for added variety.

Weapon V is a homage to cut n paste with a modern take on the 80s classic Pump Up The Volume. There is a 7" edit version of this one too. Released Friday October 25th! This is the third track from my Party Weapons compilation album, look out for more tracks soon! https://crashparty.bandcamp.com/track/weapon-v

The dust has finally settled after Shindig Festival 2024 and reality has returned. Leading up to the festival I spent most of my free time writing / producing and crafting this set of unheard music only to have the cruel fates of festivals decide that a power cut less then half way into my set was to end the hard work I had put in. Gutted does not cover how I felt when it happened, but shit happens. All I could do was pack up and make way for the next DJ and hope that the power was restored for their set as the show must go on. No one was to blame, just a rubbish situation made worse as this was due to be my first real set IRL since before lockdown (yep, 4 odd years in the making). Alas it was not to be. I've now recorded the whole set, as it was meant to be for your listening enjoyment. A little background to this set, it was part of the Global Funk Fam Takeover of the Ghetto Funk Nightclub at Shindig Festival. The sets were 20mins long to fit in all the DJs that came together from across the globe, hence this being more of a showcase set of some of the music I have coming out this year. Due to the length of the sets I decided to go for a Cut n Paste inspired set of never heard before music from me for the first half, and then the second half was longer tracks. During the my set the Kurnel MC was due to join me on stage to perform the final track with live vocals, for this recording I have use the acapella from the track. Should you want the authentic, real life version of this... Stand in a muddy puddle, poor a watering can of water on your head and then stop the playback about 8mins in and you would be close to what it was like at the time (minus the tent of smiling happy folks that were enjoying the music until it stopped). https://www.crashparty.co.uk/links.html

rash Party unleashes his debut album, hot on the heels of the first two EPs 'Sounds Like This' and 'Get Up (Let's Go)'. Sit yourselves down and take a trip with Crash into his musical journey from the mid 90s, as a teenager, getting into the musical wonder of what is known as Big Beat, through to today where Funk Edits and Bootleg Breaks have brought the idea and feeling of Big Beat to a modern audience. Crash has drawn inspiration from the classic producers and labels of the 90s that made Big Beat special for him, but in his own production style. The album keeps it varied from the head nodding album opener 'Branded No.1', through to the euphoric, hands in the air anthem in waiting 'Get Together'. The Pop friendly 'What'cha Waiting For?' gets you humming along and the Cut 'n' Paste inspired 'Supersonic Frequency' gets your toes tapping. Northern Soul inspired tracks 'Get Up (Lets Go)' and first EP, 'Sounds Like This', dare you to sit still while listening to these cuts. 'Right On' is written straight for the dancefloor where Funk meets pounding Beats and Rave sensibilities. 'Got 'Em This Time' and 'I Know' are dancefloor sirens as they call the crowd to let their hair down and get crazy in equal amounts. Wrapping up the album is 'Manifesto', which is the track that Crash has had planned longest, combining Hawaiian influences with Acid 303 lines and some classic vocals wrapped in the Big Beats and energy that the album revolves around. Inspired by the sounds and vibe of the Big Beat era... Everything Happens For A Reason.
