It's been a busy month for Pure Phunk!

Firstly, the exclusive pre-release copies of Pronobozo's latest tune "Future Fix" are available now in the Web Store. The response we've received for this tune has been great and we're more then thrilled with the current success of Pure Phunk Digital. The mission to deliver quality 'not-quite-dance floor' tunes is well under way.

Secondly, the 10th vinyl release for Pure Phunk Recordings hits the shelves just before Christmas! Just in time for all the festive holiday parties and more importantly: NEW YEARS EVE! The response on this release has been quite positive from a wider spectrum of DJ's then originally anticipated. Check out some of the reactions HERE. We're still very much excited to be able to work with such a legend like Maestro. We think the excitement really shows through in the remixes. Check them out!

And finally, Pure Phunk figurehead D-Monic has started up a weekly podcast aptly titled: The Pure Phunk Podcast. Each and every week D-Monic will deliver a fresh and exclusive mix of whatever he feels like playing. Check out more info on the podcasts HERE

There are some big announcements coming soon. Stay tuned!

It's been too long since there's been a news update. We apologize for that, but we've been busy here at Pure Phunk HQ planning for what will be a CARAZY 2006!

SMARTBOMB Repress
We've given into demands and are repressing our best release to date. 'Boombox/Smartbomb' got the most press and the most play of any of our releases and even got noticed by the mighty Plump DJ's, as they licensed it to appear on their latest mixed album 'Saturday Night Lotion'. More copies will be available in stores everywhere shortly, and you'll be able to get a copy here at the Pure Phunk Web Store.

Coming this May is the next step in the progression of Canadian breaks. Pure Phunk continues on the path of innovation and proudly launches our new 'digital-only' division of the label: PURE PHUNK DIGITAL

This new digital label will be an extension of our existing label, except the focus will be on breaks… dancefloor or otherwise. There are many facets to breaks and we're going to deliver them to you for your listening pleasure. Dancefloor tunes, down tempo tunes, hip-hop party tunes, and all points in between.

We are forever moving forward in our quest to bring breaks to the masses. Our first release will be the resurrection of a breaks producer that was ahead of his time: Demon Killa. Soundclips and track info to come.

Keep an eye and an ear out in June for info on how you can obtain these new tunes.

Following the groundbreaking success of ‘A Plump Night Out’ and 2003’s ‘Eargasm’ the Plump DJs are back with 70 minutes of the highest quality blistering breaks. With 11 original tracks and 2 remixes, Andy Gardner and Lee Rous have also called upon some of the scene’s biggest names such as Myagi, Soul Of Man, The Drumattic Twins, Lee Coombs and Italian sensation Madox to bolster this already heavyweight package.

'Smartbomb' by Sole Claw is one of 4 non-Plump tunes on the mix. We're vary excited for the launch of this album at the end of June.

Finally, after a long wait, Pure Phunk Recordings T-Shirts are now available to the public!

Available in 2 colours: Dark Blue, and White. Both colours are printed on Ultra Heavyweight Cotton.

Available Sizes: S, M, L, XL

DJ D-Monic launched Pure Phunk Recordings back in 2003 in an effort to not only develop the local Breaks & Canadian Electronic Dance music market but to give developing local talent a shot at International recognition. With a roster that includes: Sole Claw, Influenza, Dislexik, Spence & Pronobozo this up start indie is seriously committed to breaking new talent. "Pure Phunk Recordings was already expanding at an amazing rate for an upstart indie label that produced music for a very niche market. With the additional strength of the top breaks label in the country and the collective power of the 2Wars Label Group, we are now a force that demands to be heard on a global scale. We will bring Canadian Electronic Dance Music to the forefront!"
