Sleazy McQueen is no stranger to the dance scene with releases on Pilot, Eight-Tracks, Greenhouse, Chillin, House Arrest, and DAE. His tracks have been charted from everyone from Mark Farina, DJ Heather, Jimpster, and Prins Thomas to name a few. 2009 is looking like a big year for him with upcoming release on Banaza, Bearfunk, Hairy Claw, and Chillin.
DJ Cole Medina producer of legend and mystery has released music that house/disco djs the world over know and cherish on his own label, House Arrest, as well as American Standard, Hairy Claw and Internasjonal.
B-Team started out in 1997 doing funky house and breaks as the All Good Funk Alliance, they were signed to several labels including Toko, Aroma, Hi-Phen, Maxi and Dadhouse. Around 2000 they started a label called Funk Weapons and started to take on a different sound, which incorporated more of a funk and breaks sound. The B-Team is about taking the house groove one step closer to the funky goodness that P-Funk, Rick James and Prince built.
Nick Chacona has built quite a name for himself over the past few years. His 2003 release “Band Practice” was a sought after track that was played by the likes of DJ Harvey, Rub & Tug, and Prins Thomas. He’s had releases on labels such as 2020 Vision, Buzzin Fly, Bearfunk, and Prin’s Thomas’s Internasjonal. He also runs his own label, Hector Works with partner in crime Anthony Mansfield.
The release is out now exclusively on Beatport!
Vinyl Release will be shipping July 23rd to all your favorite record stores!

“Quite a daring release for Boston’s Headtunes who so far have stayed close to more traditional deep and tech house. Never one to be constrained by boundaries, Sleazy McQueen turns in a slow-tempo dub cut, assisted by Q-Burns and DJ iTek on ragga vocals. Cole Medina and Nick Chacona provide the house versions with acid and techy rubs respectively but it’s actually the funky breaks version by B-Team which catches my ears most.”
DMC UPDATE
Sleazy McQueen Ft. DJ Itek & Q-Burns Abstract Message 'Big Times, Big Tings' (Headtunes)
Prolific Sleazy takes a nice, hot bath in a billowing reggae-house groovescape, circled by dub efx and the odd masturbating gopher in fluorescent bikini briefs, topped by toasting and ragga rants. The Boston label makes it a strong package with funked remixes from Cole Medina, Nick Chacona and B-Team. This last one's a hoot as the chaps formerly known as All Good Funk Alliance strike up deep house drama before injecting acid and strings then - killer stroke - it turns into Jaydee's 'Plastic Dreams'! 4/5
