Sweat It Out!!

Locally-infamous deejay Ajax can be a given whole range of props for his relatively infant label 'Sweat It Out' and the talented names under its list. This homegrown label and those within are creating all kinds of dancefloor perspiration on both ozzy and international levels. This funk entity is fast growing and grooving its influence around the Australian dance scene and getting support from big international names. Boppers such as Act Yo Age, DCUP, Swick, Yolanda Be Cool and many more are slashing tracks under the same name as other more afro influenced Wax Motif and Killaqueenz. To give you a taste of the tunes that bring the heat and the label that endorses body-odour and perspiration here are a few ripping tracks, enjoy.
peace out!

Cuddle Up


For the 'i live under a musical and social barrier' demographic above is a dude who you should get familiar with. Kid Cudi is a rap sensation that owes his success to his audience and somewhat trip hop/electro influences. His style is real and its his choice of backing, mashing and collaboration that is special. At times uplifting and pumping and others times a more chilled and melancholy feel - his tracks have come a long way from his first mixtape 'A Kid names Cudi' to his ultra-successful album 'Man on the Moon'. Props to wikipedia who alerted me to the fact that his real name is Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi - hence 'Cudi'. This kid has a lot to offer and although i believe in supporting the scene i am still a broke teenager, however i managed to fork out for the album and was impressed with a collaboration list of Snoop Dog, MGMT, Ratatat and more you can see why his popular in and out of the scene. Below however is an old track of his in which he raps over one of my all time favourite tracks - 'Someone Great' by LCD Soundsystem. Enjoy and remember there is much more then just a Day N Night Pursuit of Happiness to this yank crossover.
peace out!

All up on the scene...Dipped in Vaseline


Just quickly to all of those who are not familiar with the white trash hip-hop stylings of the infamous Mickey Avalon then here are three important steps for a love and repulse towards the name and sound of Mickey Avalon.


  1. Get beyond the freestyling pay-out sensation of 'My Dick' and listen to some of his other music.


  2. If you are still not convinced or have no idea as to who this guy is then i think you should read this article - it's interesting for all outlining a story of success, dejection, failure and addiction

  3. If you are still not a fan of his rhymes which are obviously not exactly drunkfunk beats then at least appreciate that this ex heroin addict and semi male prostitute somehow is now the envy of many and can escape by calling God 'one sick mother fucker'


  4. if you are a fan or now a new fan then fork out mums credit card and get yourself down to The Forum on friday for his only sydney show.

...Out for The Boys!!


Hello Again. As my peeling counterpart recoils further into blogging procrastination i thought i would so what we at drunkfunk do best - share good tunes. So this post is about DCUP who apart from being one of my favourite Aussies at the moment is also another product of the 'Sweat It Out' label that has done nothing but hijack the oz music scene lately. This sydney kid has been busting out funk infused disco mixes lately that have left me with a little child's grin on my face. This grin is purely to do with the future of the Australian music scene and how some of these local dudes are getting worldwide recognition. DCUP's music style to me surrounds a stern negro version of John Travolta doing the monkey. However an idea is best drawn from listening to his jams. I have liked his tunes for a while now and i am sure that the following tracks will do the same for you. With the ability to 'turn a wedding into a warehouse party' this dude is definitely worth a listen. On that note he has new stuff out right now so head into stores - be it a virtual or physical store and cash in on the nu disco madness. As promised below are the funkadeliks.
peace out!
