PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 21st, 2010 / Underdogs Promotions.
Johnny Pluse Transmutes ‘nufunk’ With His Monkey Business!
Back with a bang and with more breakbeat bombs than you can shake a stick at, Trim’s premier export and diplomat of sonic sound, Johnny Pluse’s second album; ‘How Much For The Monkey’, finally hits the planet in July 2010. Over two years in the hard drive, ‘How Much For The Monkey’ is a testament to the pioneering player that is; JOHNNY PLUSE!
Having spent his existence in the lab; Pluse, the beat alchemist has conjured a bigger and bolder nufunk sound that incorporates a diverse assortment of appearances from XFM DJ Eddy Temple Morris and Tom Bellamy aka Losers, Folk Singer Gerry Tully and the gun-slinger, Billy Ray Fay. Songs such as ‘Sick, Sore & Sorry’ and ‘Market Street Hustle’ are Cockney-Trim donations, while ‘Rubber Gangsta’ and ‘Introduce Yo Self’ carpet bomb the living room (or wherever you listen to this) in true breakbeat style. ‘How Much For The Monkey’ is not only a funk-fueled orgy of bass, breaks and brass, but is an insane tour of duty by the maestro.
THANKS to JOHNNY PLUSE, the world of ‘nufunk’ will never be the same again. Find out how much the monkey costs for yourself, when he is finally released on July 7th, 2010 via Breakdown Records (www.myspace.com/breakdownireland). Get your Monkey, Get Your Monkey, Uh Uh Uh!

WHAT THEY SAID …
“A real mixed bag of sample-tastic, uplifting electronica “ – Eddy Temple Morris (The Remix, Xfm).
“Thanks to Johnny Pluse, the world of Nu Funk will never be the same again. Find out how much the monkey costs for yourself; you wont be disappointed” – Adam Fogarty (Breakonomics, RTE Pulse).
“Johnny Pluse has long since been one of the more original and exciting Irish producers and his overdue debut album is one of the year’s best dancefloor jams” – Mark Kavanagh (ClubMix, The Star).
“Released on July 7th on Breakdown Records, the album ‘How Much For The Monkey’ is straight banging! From the old-school live funk stylings of ‘Funky Time’ and the ska-hop bounce of ‘Market Street Hustle’ to the tearout JB funk of ‘Pleasure Town’ and the trip-hop shuffle of ‘How Ya’ – these are 11 tracks made of purest wine. Managing to be varied without ever leaving the dancefloor, the grooves on this record are strong and the beats are crisp. Do yourself a favour and seek this out” – www.nufunk.net
