    Unlike its sister albums, the third album in the Real Crimes Series is much less determined. It’s at a loss. It’s in despair. It’s broken-hearted. With many more questions asked than any actual answers available … it waits in hope … but perhaps in vain. Is no news really good news? Only time will tell. Real Crimes : Missing Persons … absence makes the heart grow sadder …

    Being apart … well … as many of us have experienced … it can be tough. Friends missed, families separated and lovers distant. Sometimes life gets in the way of the people who are important to you. The connections you have with those you care about is where this album steps up … to support you on your journeys home.

  • Traditional

    Japan

    Wow! We think this could be The Funky Junkies’ first purely traditional album!?! No jokes, no nudges … no ‘wink wink, say no mores’! And what an album it is! In comparison to our Modern Japan album … this one is strictly Japanese and strictly traditional which swings and sways between heavy taiko action all the way through to light meditations. You’ll find soundtracks for folklores, mythical creatures, samurai warriors, rituals, celebrations, wars and deities! If it happens to be a Japanese tradition or happened to actually have happened in Japanese history … we got you covered! Traditional Japan … a strictly traditional Japanese collection.

  • Modern

    Japan

    Only The Funky Junkies would open a Japanese album with some beaty-block-rocking rock tracks! But it sort of sets the tone (and … of course … we are The Funky Junkies!). You see … these are big and bold tracks that take influences from the east and mix them INTO influences from the west! Let’s talk you through it. Rocky anthems, bright Future Bass, beats for cross-country travel, choons for the catwalks, cinematic wonders, sexy little numbers, jazzy dittys, a few quirky eccentricities … PHEW! All with (and without) Japanese elements. We know … we’re spoiling you! But listen … if it’s all a bit too ‘out there’ for you … never fear … Traditional Japan is waiting for you right next door! Modern Japan … it’s a colourful cross-genre celebration!

    Works

    Series

    There was no brief! We just created what we felt like creating! A crazy notion … but boy did we write some creative stuff! Split across four albums … from little sketches to wide canvased dramatic pieces … us Funky Junkies cut loose and freed ourselves despite being locked down for a year! It was glorious … and melancholy …. peaceful … and at times difficult. But that’s what true art should be! The Abstract Works Series …. music from the lockdowns.

    Atmospheric

    Those lockdowns of 2020/2021, huh? They seemed to affect all of us in different ways. At one point we weren’t even sure anybody would want great music anymore! But the Junkies continued to work on regardless. What else was there to do than to retreat into our separate studios and close the doors behind us?! The brief was simple. “There is no brief. Let your mind wander, set your spirit free.” And with our library constraints removed … we dreamed … we created … we flew … with the result being the first album in our Abstract Works Series. Abstract Works : Atmospheric … the perception of perspectives.

    Thematic

    So whilst us Junkies explored our minds and souls for the first instalment of our Abstract Works Series … for this album we introduced a little more movement and a little more theme. Arpeggiated patterns, subtle rhythms, delicate sequences … if it propelled us forward … then we were along for the ride! All we had to do was channel our “lockdown wanderlusts” straight into the music … to help keep us sane and hopeful! Abstract Works : Thematic … grace within motion.

    Time? Time during the lockdowns just sort of disappeared into the ether for us! Or lengthened … actually … perhaps it shortened? That’s the thing when The Funky Junkies get lost in composing tracks … time just becomes an illusion. For this release in our Abstract Works Series … we broke through the fabric of the space-time continuum to create a selection of inquisitive electronic-laden tracks that have no timestamps! So … um … yeah! Abstract Works : Electronic … when was the future?

    The fourth and final part to the Abstract Works Series is … well … let’s just say that like all abstract art …. some you will love, some you won’t … some you will understand, the rest might confuse you! But that’s what happens when you give no brief to us isolated Junkies … you get what you’re given! Beautifully abstruse with perplexing pianos, strangely enigmatic (yet difficult) melodies, mesmerisingly cryptic née inscrutable orchestras! So if you’re looking for something definitively different and you’re ready to be challenged … step inside! Abstract Works : Classic … Esoteric … meet Avant Garde.

Hyped-up orchestras bring the fury, thunderous drums bring the tension and choral voices bring the intensity within a whirlwind of tracks that have scores to settle … and are ready to do battle! Epic Dramatic Cinematic Sports … floodlit action for promos, trails and highlights!

    Let’s get one thing straight … This. Ain’t. Ritzy. Scratch the surface of Clubland … and you’ll find the roots of it all … the real deals. No Super Clubs, no VIP rooms, no swish limos to the venues, no superstar DJs. Originating from the streets, created for the streets …. spat out Drill and Grime, bass heavy House, pulsating Techno and clattering Drum n Bass. Filled with an illicit air of danger, excitement and atmospherics … from across the years and a city that embraced multicultural clubbing like no other. So jump on … tune in … and drop out. Inner City Journeys 1 … sounds from the underground.

    This album continues where its wingman Inner City Journeys 1 left off … zigzagging across time and space via old London Town’s now historic clubland scenes. Filled with the same illicit feels … and this time with hazy hints of glitz and dusky halcyon bliss. Old skool and retro, classic, atmospheric and nostalgic … this album takes you on an underground trip. So, yes … it’s fair to say that us Junkies miss our clubbing days …. but the nights out will continue as soon we’re allowed! For now … join us in the reminiscing!

    These are difficult times. Unprecedented they say. We’ve lived in a bubble for a very long time … and now … well … that bubble has burst. In the final instalment of our Documentary Hues series …the paranoia is palpable … the uncertainty is tangible. This album shines a darkness of the struggles, the worry, the problems we all are facing … (as if we needed them highlighting at all). Brooding, desolate, lonely … in many ways we wish this album didn’t need to exist. Documentary Hues (Grey Anxiety) … worryingly anxious pieces made for documentary filmmakers.

By keeping the melodies simple, the drums toned down and the production a little more naive, The Funky Junkies flirted evocatively with the 80s, gliding through sensual pop, eclectic ditties, cult tv cues, teen movie soundtracks … and made  sure that the whole thing stayed classy and sophisticated … natch!

    Quirky

    and

    Perculiar

    Surely you’ve worked out that The Funky Junkies are a bit odd by now? Freaky, deeky, weird and wonderful … mixed with some quirks, irks, fun and frolicks! That’s us! So it’s only natural that we put an album together that really mixes things up a little bit! Kooky, Quirky and Peculiar … ditties and oddities!

  • Full

    House

    Sometimes … you gotta play it cool! Here at The Funky Junkies we do like a good knees up … but every now and again we splash on the old Issey Miyake, get down to the classier joints in town and shake our collective booties to some shuffley, funky, deeper house cuts! Like this little lot! (Oh ok … there’s a couple of bangers in there too!) Full House … shuffling funky deals!

  • Gorgeously

    Guitary

    Who knew when they made the first acoustic guitar that six strings and some bits of wood would prove so versatile? From picking and plucking to warm gentle strumming, the guitar brings unique tones that connect to the soul. Add in some cool drums, produced electronica vibes, understated vocals, delicate harmonies and touches of the electric guitar … and us Junkies bring you an album of contemporary folk and guitar works. Gorgeously Guitary … bright, breezy and beautiful.

  • Things

    Happening

    Mysteriously

    So we got a bit freaky. A little bit weirded out. Heck, sometimes when making this one, we didn’t know what was gonna happen next! A bit like those first 20 seconds of a film trailer. The set up … the anticipation … the “something’s gonna happen but you just don’t have a clue” type moments. Things Happening Mysteriously is strange, sometimes wondrous … but mostly THAT moment at the start of the trailers!

  • Things

    Happening

    Epically

    Epic trailer music … but REALLY epic!!! Choirs, orchestras, big rises and huge falls! We’re talking battles in the olden days, aliens from the future … and everything in between! Lush strings, brass blasts and very large drums! You want to let your viewers know who’s the boss? Things Happening Epically …. that’s the one you need!

  • Things

    Happening

    Loudly!

    It’s big, it’s bold, it’s boomy … it’s those huge, massive in-your-face trailer tracks that thrill and fill the audience with excitement! Rolling drums, scary twists … what you think is going to happen … doesn’t! You think it will stop building? You’re wrong! You think it will stop scaring you? Na-ah-ahhhh … think again! Get ready for the ride … Things Happening Loudly … it does just that … turned up to 11 … no … wait ….. 12!

We also put together 10 carol renditions with a touch of Funky Junkies magic sprinkled in. Consider this an early, cosy Christmas present! Now then … what have you got for us? ;-) Kinda Christmassy … magical, festive, wintery, warm.

  • Retro

    Rewinds

    Once upon a time, The Junkies were looking through their old record collection when they suddenly thought “Cor … some of these choons are right ripe for some sampling, cutting, pasting and scratching!” So they took some vintage tracks, added some beats, did a bit of scratchin’ … and pressed record on the tape player. Old skool style! Retro Rewinds .. it’s Big Beat, Lounge, Electro Swing, Hip Hop and some Eclectic Sampledelia … PHEW!

  • Funky

    Cuts

    Somebody call a doctor! 27 cuts of the finest, funkiest tracks this side of 1976! Mmmmm-mmmn! Greasy bass lines, cheeky drum breaks, freaky brass … we got down, got dirty … the TFJ studio was SMOKING! Recorded straight to tape, us Junkies made it like it should be made … red raw … with bumps and bruises! Funky Cuts … so funky it hurts!

    Packer

    Those that know The Funky Junkies intimately will know we’re country girls at heart. So when we discovered the beautiful Americana of Emme Packer from a small farming community in Utah … we just had to get her music to a wider audience. Emme has a heartbreaking back story of her own which you can read about on her blog. Whilst she battles with that, we’ve promised we’ll do our job and get her songs heard by you. Love, loss, break ups and make ups … it’s all in there … just like our lives … and just like yours.

    Stuff

    Can we be serious for a moment? Lovely … then we’ll begin. Sublime and sophisticated, glassy and classy. Produced, particular, pretty and plush. We dimmed the lights when recording this one and kept them low when mixing it. Gorgeous grooves meet mellow melodies with hints of orchestras, trip hop, chill and organic acoustica all cuddling up alongside one another … and a few snooty things to boot. Nice. So sit back, relax and get the runner to order in a gourmet burger this time! Posh Stuff … keeping it classy.

    Ahhh … the hazy days of the 90’s. We remember them like it … no, hang on … we don’t remember them that well at all! Our Junky brain cells ain’t what they used to be. But we DO remember the music! Music that had riffs. Music that had melody. Music that made you wanna dance, mosh and sing-along! Oh well … at least we have One Direction to fill that gap now! Baggy, Britpop and Beyond … halcyon indie from the 90’s!

  • Totally

    Zen

    Here’s a fact … we love to party! But even The Junkies need some R&R from time to time! A good rub down, a piece of fruit … failing that six weeks in The Priory! So along our rehab travels we got inspired to write a tune or two. 34 chilled out vibes, keeping the new age dial set low and the holistic knob cranked all the way to the right! Totally Zen … relaxing drones, tones and soundscapes!

    If you’re anything like The Funky Junkies, you’ll be tightening your belt and swapping the Seychelles for the Seaside this year! So we rustled up 37 summery, guitary tracks (yeah … 37, baby … we don’t mess about you know!) to take along for the ride! With the Fun Button firmly taped down on the mixing desk, we made sure that we covered every eventuality! Seaside Rock … a bumper load of summer fun!

  • Beds,

    Don’t forget that all the tracks have lots of alternate versions for you to delve into. Screeching synth line getting in the way? Bin the Main Mix and use the Basic Mix! Vocals not needed. Lose them quick smart … and use the Bed Mix! It’s like Speed Dating but with choons instead of double-baggers. Not that we’ve ever been Speed Dating … ahem …

    Jams

    So the brief from the Boss Man Tim went something like this. “Right. Here’s an old drum kit, some guitars, a bass, a horn section, some breakbeats, a keyboard and sampler, a crate of dusty vinyl and a pair of decks. Get jammin’!’ Junkies enter studio. Junkies exit studio 79 minutes later with this little lot. Junkies smugly return to telly and KFC bucket. Funky Jams … sticky, lickin‘ fixes!

So using this new fangled interweb thing we can stay in touch everyday! Facebook, Twitter, Skype, MSN … we’re on them all! We can’t guarantee that we’ll be coherent 100% of the time (especially before 11am!) but we’ll try our best … ok?

  • Proper

    Soccer

    Footballers. They’re overpaid. They’re underworked. They’re non-stop shaggers! And you know what us Junkies say?! Nice work if you can get it! But glory don’t come easy. It takes trials, training, plenty of punditry and some big match moments. So until you’ve done your time and proved you’ve got real talent … get stuck in and give it some welly! Proper Soccer …  this ain’t no fantasy football …

  • Takeaway

    Menu

    lt’s a pretty simple concept. We love music. And we bloody LOVE takeaways. So we mashed the two together! We took some spicy flavas, the odd drum loop or ten, plenty of instruments from around the world and then cooked ‘em up into a taste explosion! Takeaway Menu … hot and spicy … with extra cheese!

  • Tech

    Heads

    Computers, the internet, broadband connections and (our personal favourite) website streaming. We love ‘em all! Yet every now and again disaster strikes. We’re talking crashes, disconnections, computer viruses and general technology woes. But don’t worry! Help is at hand! Pass the hammer and let The Funky Junkies have a crack at it! Tech Heads … smashed up electronica for shouting over!

  • BESPOKE

    Choons!

    All the Junkies are available for commissions, bespoke writing and composing to picture. And we can also remix our existing tracks, shorten them, make them longer, add vocals … well pretty much anything you need us to do really. We can even come to your office and do a little dance for the right price! Get on the blower or email the Junkies HQ and tell us what you need.

  • Freaky

    Africa

    Africa plus Library normally equals majestic soundtracks and tribal drumming. Oh dear … how boring! We’re The Funky Junkies … we don’t do normal and we don’t do boring! Our formula was quite different. Take a kicking track (dance, rock, funk, indie) then sample up a bunch of African vibes and slap them across the top! Mental or what?! Freaky Africa … welcome to the bizarre safari!

Flyers, free raves, hardcore, you know the score? The happy, smiley faces of a blissed out generation? Well here is Back In The Day … and it’s time to take it back …

    INFO

    ...

    The Master of The Funky Junkies Universe is a geezer called Tim Rushent. Along with being a part-time Ricky Gervais lookalike, Tim sits in the studio with the Junkies pushing the tracks that little bit further. This normally involves panning things around a lot, ordering in pizza, occasionally saying ‘Yeah, that sounds better” when we haven’t changed a thing and generally getting in the way.

  • Destination

    Exploration

    After listening to the completed CD of this album even we sat back in horror and said, “We’ve gone too far this time!” Swinging from the sublime to the ridiculous, this album will help you find new ways to ‘Have It‘ and new ways to ‘Chill’! So pack the choons into your rucksack and head off into the sunset! Destination Exploration … completely lose it on planet earth!
