For Pretty Pastoral Piano, we wandered a little further from the beaten path … through wildflower meadows, quiet woodland and the soft changing light of the seasons. Gentle, expressive piano framed by warm strings and subtle orchestration. Beautiful waltzes and reflective themes, romantic without becoming sentimental, nostalgic without dwelling on the past. Long summer evenings, mellow autumn days and half remembered places … Pretty Pastoral Piano … warm, tender, gently cinematic.
-
The Cats held us to ransom and made us make their clap back album, Groovy Cats … as they didn't appreciate our very funky Funky Dogs album! But we couldn't let it lie … so here's OUR clap back! WATCH THIS VIDEO about the real maestro masterminds behind the music … and the amazing, super talented, very funny and unbelievably handsome (and modest) Boss Man Tim! (Oh alright … and the Groovy Cats too! 😉)
-
The Funky Dogs?! Oh puuulease. They've had their little walkies. Now sit. Stay. Good mutts. While they were busy chasing their tails, we perched ourselves on the mixing desk. One slow blink and the Junkies knew exactly what we wanted. Purring basslines, silky grooves, late night Rhodes and beats so laid back they're practically horizontal. No zoomies. No chaos. Dogs fetch sticks. Cats curate… vibes. Groovy Cats … cool kitty confidence.
-
Our new TFJ album is what happens when you let the dogs IN! Zoomie puppy energy, zappy happy vibes and zany crazy fun … oh, to be a canine! Chasing squirrels, rolling in the mud, strutting through the park soaking up the admiration? It all comes bounding towards you, covered in crate dug samples, funky basslines, tight rockin' breakbeats and barky brass action! If dogs could DJ, these are the choons they'd play! Funky Dogs … pure pooch energy!

There's a staple routine for budding composers … a cup of tea, a slice of toast … and jamming until a fully fledged track emerges from the ether. That's the spirit behind our new label, Tea, Toast & Jams. Homemade music by real people … played, recorded, programmed, felt … not synthesised by algorithms. Created, not generated. These artists deserve to be heard, not hidden. You decide what resonates … and even question … "But is it art?"
-
Tea, Toast & Jams' debut release comes from Lisa Marini, a London based singer, songwriter and producer blending intimate folk vibes with subtle jazz tinges. A visual artist and live music curator, her vocals bring warm hues and shadowy light. Acoustic guitar, subtle bass, light piano and brushed drums frame songs of connection, reflection and the quiet aching beauty of unrequited love. Honest and handcrafted, Songs Past Midnight is grace and elegance personified.
-
Newcastle producer Harvey Mason weaves light, rhythm and memory into lush electronic landscapes on his Tea, Toast & Jams release Halfway to Somewhere.

-
Granada born, Liverpool based producer and guitarist José Ibáñez rolls out a low slung, swaggering fusion of rock guitars, metal riffs and grimy grooves on his Tea, Toast & Jams collection Burnouts, Bloods and Brotherhoods. Heavy amped guitars, pounding drums and filthy bass lines forged for the open road … back road bars and midnight rides. Churning like gravel on asphalt, roaring like V twins at sunset. Saddle up before it leaves you in the dust!
-
Lumen Fold, the collective of Richard Smithson, Peter Cottriall and Christopher Chambers, capture the vast stillness of northern light on The Long Dawn. Inspired by Nordic landscapes and elemental quiet, distant voices and emotive vocals meet delicate piano, shimmering chimes, earthy strings and reverberant drums.

-
Project 10 is the Miami collaboration between producer Edgar Vargas and vocalist Jamie Rae, a duo who craft pop gems from the first take. Their debut TTJ album, Lust. Love. Rejection., dives into the thrill and fallout of modern romance … the heat, the games, the mixed signals and the heartbreak hangovers. Glossy production, sharp hooks and Jamie's playful, no nonsense vocals … flirty bangers, sultry grooves and late night slow burners. Bold and addictive!
-
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls… gather 'round for Barry Thompson's Mr Thompson and His Riff-Raff Ragtime Revue!

Perfect for advertisements and children's entertainments, the Revue arrives with a wink and cheer.
-
Canadian singer songwriter and producer Marty Zylstra brings his melodic, feel good style to this Tea, Toast & Jams release.

-
North Carolina composer producer Carlos Pacheco and friends bring a loose limbed, groove first spirit to this funky Tea, Toast & Jams release.

-
British composer James Rogers presents Dreaming In Real Time for Tea, Toast & Jams, a light, intimate collection of modern instrumental music shaped by delicate piano, tender guitars, gentle synth textures, soft percussion and quietly expressive strings and harp.

Warm yet understated, each piece balances fragile beauty with a soft sense of forward movement.
-
Italian composer producer Enzo Orefice drifts into Paris with a raised eyebrow and a suitcase of mischief on Ces Riffs N’étaient Pas Censés Exister… Et Pourtant…? This delightfully off kilter Tea, Toast & Jams release leans into quirky French folk, where wheezing accordions, lyrical fiddles and nimble guitars waltz through café corner rhythms. With gypsy jazz phrasing and Montmartre charm, the album balances theatrical flair with melodic wit, celebrating riffs that perhaps shouldn't exist, yet insist on doing so.
-
Marcel Anicic, Eric Passmore and Andrew Johnston step forward as White Doors to confess all on their raucous album Cold Gun Confessions, delivering ten raw, AM radio charged blasts of Chicago inspired blues steeped in smoky clubs and swagger of fire powered classic '70s rock.

Echoes of classic singer songwriter craftsmanship meet the relaxed glow of open skies and long drives ahead, soft evening light and stories shared along the way.
-
Thomas Mountjoy explores tone, colour and movement on this TTJ release Floating In The Colourfield. Crafting textural electronica built on evolving synthwave palettes and subtle rhythmic movement and beats, these tracks hover between abstract interest and gentle propulsion, where shimmering tones, darker pulsing sequences and delicate sonic details create a feeling of tentative exploration. Inspired by experimental electronic traditions, Thomas shapes his tracks like shifting colour fields, lightly layered and darkly immersive.
-
Elgin Mehmetali and Evren Ali of Tales Of Sound And Silence bring us their album Gods For The Weekend! Upfront, anthemic, grunge influenced indie rock, drenched in fuzz, feedback, loud/quiet tension and steeped in the grit of noisy guitars and bold, pumping rhythm sections. Driving drums, muscular bass lines, searing guitar work, impassioned vocals, jagged riffs and chant ready choruses blend frenetic bursts of distortion and weighty mid tempo grooves. This TTJ release holds nothing back, lets the amps redline! You have been warned!
-
David Lol Perry's project The Ayahuasca Sessions is an abstract ambient exploration of the shared inner landscapes described across ayahuasca, yage and hoasca ceremonies. Built on recurring witness motifs … serpents, jaguars, ancestral presences, sentient geometries and guiding intelligences … the music returns to these visions through looping forms, slow evolution and immersive tone, offering a hypnotic, introspective journey shaped by continuity and symbolism.
-
The Junkies love a bit of Christmas, and last year that spirit carried us through candlelit concerts across the UK … from village halls and school stages to churches, social clubs and cider barns. We headed straight into the TFJ Barn Studio with guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddle, sleigh bells and woolly jumpers ready. Folk, country and Celtic traditions blended into something warm and intimate. A Very Rustic Christmas is the wonderfully earthy result … acoustic, heartfelt and joyfully festive.
-
Inspired by wartime essays and poetry, this evocative and fragile collection of delicate yet frayed orchestra led pieces capture the echoes of the battlefield … and the results of its aftermaths, memories and legacies. Survivors recount their harrowing tales, the fallen are solemnly honoured, the spectres of trauma are relived in haunting detail. Yet amid the darkness, glimmers of hope emerge as a future is rebuilt from the ruins. In war, there are no true victors, only lessons to be heeded. Beautifully Devastating Wartorn Cues … give peace a chance.
-

Playfully Percussive … innocently lovely, quirky and cute!
-
Our planet is a breathtaking blend of magnificence, majesty, and delicate beauty. Inspired by its wonders, the Junkies have crafted these subtle, subdued soundtracks that capture the spirit of unspoilt terrains.

Widescreen Wonders of the World … beautiful, cinematic, wondrous, awe inspiring.

We know what you're wondering.

-
Oh yeah … we should announce this we guess. Us Funky Junkies crossed 3500 individual titles with our latest releases! Whatever way you slice it, that's a lot of briefing, composing, mixing, mastering, editing, creative descriptions, metadataing, contracts, registrations, website hosting (over 27000 individual tracks with all those remixes, and let's not talk about the stems!) for our little team, all whilst we try and have a social life and a good work / life balance.
-
And then came Autumn! The third instalment in TFJs Country Folk Series is nostalgic, reflective and at times even a little sentimental. But never fear, this album is also peppered with celebratory moments too! Golden Americana and amber country while away the hours as the sun lowers over post summer beauty and abundant harvests. So prepare for winter, but first let's enjoy these wondrous months! Country Folk : Autumn … rustic living and #vanlife!
-

-
The final part to the Junkies' Country Folk Series shimmers, sparkles, shines and feels bloody freezing! That's right, it's Winter! Perfect for soundtracking snowy scenes (obviously!) but also for those quieter moments inside as we hibernate away from the elements and cook, read, relax and celebrate the season. Chilly and crisp yet sometimes warm and glowing, this is Country Folk : Winter … countryside living and #vanlife.
-
Oh là là! The Funky Junkies went to France! We sought out the finest gypsy jazz, swing and hot club style jazz we could find! Chuggy guitars, subtle double bass, shuffling brushed kits, upbeat clarinets, swaying accordions and energetic fiddles, flowing like French rivers towards the coastlines! Be it travel, holidays, the food, the wine or romance, our little jaunt away gave us enough inspiration to create Jazz Manouche … gypsy jazz and swing travels from France!
-
A few albums back, us Junkies released Gripping Drones. It, was, dark. And the Universe doesn't like that. We knew we had to redress the balance. So what is the opposite of darkness? Light! This album is about finding your way, whether you're spiritual, methodical or analytical … sometimes you need help, support and guidance. Atmospheric, ambient and delicate drones help clear your path, uplift your soul and bring you hope. Healing Drones … they're coming to save you …
-
Ok … let's do this. It's time to get your freak on! The first part of our Indie Intensities Series is a little bit rude and a very bit naughty! But before you avert your eyes, come and explore your voyeuristic side with us! Each track turns on the intensity, pushes the right buttons of filth, gets you excited and deals with you there and then! Sleazy Indie … feel good about being bad!

-
The first instalment of our Real Crimes Series gets straight down to the nitty gritty! Deep diving down into the sciencey stuff, this collection of tracks tests, traces and gets stuck in. Sample, decode, analyse … and you'll find the clues. It might be a dirty job but someone's gotta do it, right?! Real Crimes : Forensics … something is always left behind …
-
For the second album in TFJ's Real Crimes Series we put on our best grubby detective coats and got looking for answers! Documents piled up on the desk, search warrants were obtained and evidence was sifted through thoroughly! Even the cleverest criminals can make the most obvious mistakes sometimes! Real Crimes : Investigation … nothing matters but the facts …
-
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 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 …
-
The fourth and final part of the Real Crimes Series has its sights trained on everyone, watching and waiting for the corruption and criminality to be committed! Spying, stakeouts, CCTV … Big Brother sees you! So be good, and let him concentrate on the bad guys! Real Crimes : Surveillance … our security is their highest priority …
-
Being apart … 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. This is where this album steps up to support you on your journeys home. Beautifully subtle electronics meet bittersweet and earthy acoustics to envelop, caress and hold each other in love and light. Intricate Connections … connect and reconnect with the ones you love.
-
Slow and creeping, blinding and suffocating, very dangerous and very disturbing and very murderous! These drones are fear personified. Distorted, filtered, metallic, poisonous, gaseous … your inner fears are about to be realised. Whether it's radiation and poisons, desolate landscapes, antisocial personality disorders, serial killers, phobias or mental health issues … be afraid, because these are Gripping Drones … and they're coming to get you …
-
Wow! We think this could be The Funky Junkies' first purely traditional album! No jokes, no nudges … no 'wink wink, say no mores'! In comparison to our Modern Japan album, this one is strictly Japanese and strictly traditional, swinging and swaying between heavy taiko action through to light meditations. Soundtracks for folklores, mythical creatures, samurai warriors, rituals, celebrations, wars and deities! Traditional Japan … a strictly traditional Japanese collection.
-
Only The Funky Junkies would open a Japanese album with some beaty block rocking rock tracks! These are big and bold tracks that take influences from the east and mix them INTO influences from the west! Rocky anthems, bright Future Bass, beats for cross country travel, choons for the catwalks, cinematic wonders, sexy little numbers, jazzy dittys and quirky eccentricities! If it's all a bit too 'out there', Traditional Japan is waiting right next door! Modern Japan … a colourful cross genre celebration!
-
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.
-
Those lockdowns of 2020/2021, huh? They seemed to affect all of us in different ways. The Junkies continued to work on regardless, retreating into our separate studios and closing the doors behind us! The brief was simple. 'There is no brief. Let your mind wander, set your spirit free.' With our library constraints removed … we dreamed, we created, we flew, resulting in the first album in our Abstract Works Series. Abstract Works : Atmospheric … the perception of perspectives.
-
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, we were along for the ride! All we had to do was channel our "lockdown wanderlusts" straight into the music to keep us sane and hopeful! Abstract Works : Thematic … grace within motion.
-
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 inquisitive electronic laden tracks with no timestamps! 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! That's what happens when you give no brief to us isolated Junkies, you get what you're given! Beautifully abstruse with perplexing pianos, enigmatic melodies and inscrutable orchestras! If you're looking for something definitively different and ready to be challenged … step inside! Abstract Works : Classic … Esoteric meet Avant Garde.
-
The bigger the sport, the brighter the lights! For this album, the Junkies threw the big switches so that every throw across the field, every tackle on the pitch, every roar of the stadium … every single thrilling moment was fully captured! Hyped up orchestras bring the fury, thunderous drums bring the tension and choral voices bring the intensity within tracks that have scores to settle! 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 real deals. No Super Clubs, no VIP rooms, no superstar DJs. Originating from the streets, created for the streets, it spat out Drill and Grime, bass heavy House, pulsating Techno and clattering Drum n Bass. Filled with illicit danger, excitement and atmospherics from a city that embraced multicultural clubbing like no other. 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, retro, classic, atmospheric and nostalgic, this album takes you on an underground trip. Join us in the reminiscing! Inner City Journeys 2, more sounds from the underground.
-
The saying goes "If it were easy then everybody would be doing it!" That's why they don't, and that's why you are gonna give it a try! Life has a habit of testing your mettle, and that's what our Reality Tensions Series is all about! At times it might feel like it's all hanging by a thread … but stare fear in the face, and get focusing on the goals ahead! Reality Tensions : Stress Tests … stretch the limits …
-
Don't worry! A little pressure can be good for you! The task might seem daunting, but dig deep and you'll find that you've got this! Yes, it will be difficult, yes, you're gonna have to stay on your toes, and yes, you'll have to apply all the skills you've learnt thus far. But trust us, we're the Junkies, we know a thing or two about flying by the seats of our pants! Reality Tensions : Under Pressure … keep keeping on …
-
You know that bit in reality telly competitions where a task has to be completed, time is running out and the judges keep reminding them, so the tension builds and the contestant starts to panic? That's what this album's tracks are for! The Funky Junkies set themselves the task of raising the tension with strings and drums at tempos suggesting time is of the essence! Reality Tensions : Racing Against Time … feel the urgent …
-
Yes, we will agree. Things have gone a bit sideways. And yes, not just sideways but pear shaped too. It's hard to stay positive sometimes. But somewhere between despair and joy is hope. And as we look to the future, we all need to hope. This first release in our Documentary Hues series reminds us that things do turn towards something better, and time does heal eventually. Documentary Hues (Amber Hope) … beautifully optimistic pieces made for documentary filmmakers.
-
Ok, the second instalment of our Documentary Hues series is a toughie, no matter what's going on in the world right now. It's probably best you don't listen to this album for leisure, unless you're wanting a good cry. But if you're looking to set scenes of sadness, this album is just what you'll need. Somber pianos meet achingly sorrowful strings and tasteful atmospherics to tell those human stories that have to be told. Documentary Hues (Blue Melancholy) … heartbreaking pieces made for documentary filmmakers.
-
These are difficult times. Unprecedented they say. We've lived in a bubble for a very long time, and now that bubble has burst. In the final instalment of our Documentary Hues series, the paranoia is palpable, the uncertainty tangible. This album shines a darkness on the struggles, the worry, the problems we all are facing. 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.
-
The Funky Junkies … we're lovers, not fighters! But when it comes to the beats … we like them to pack a punch. So here's the big challenge we set ourselves … beefy beats without the anger. Nothing too gnarly, nothing too noisy … just plenty of the old ooofff and ooomph! Squashy grooves, phat synth basses, chunky breaks … this album jumps, pumps and thumps! There's also some uplifting cuts too! So for when the going gets tough … Big Hitters … punchy beats, bass and breaks!
-
Compared to its companion Sophisticated Synthage Part 1 (Futuristic) … this album flips the script and turns things upside down. 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 kept the whole thing classy and sophisticated, natch! Sophisticated Synthage – Part 2 (Retrograde) … synths all the way from the past.
-
We do love some tweaking … so with this album us Junkies gently massaged the more refined vibes from our beautiful synths. From the Juno to the Prophet, the Liberation to the DX7, the Odyssey to the 303 … we dusted away the dirt and looked for the gorgeous patches. By filtering the wave shapes and softening the edges … we captured something rather special and … well … sophisticated! Sophisticated Synthage Part 1 (Futuristic) … synths all the way from the future.
-
Roll up, roll up! May The Funky Junkies introduce to you … (drum roll please …) The Happy Tracks Series! Split across four albums … we've got those happy clappy things, a load of perky bits, loads of the sweet and lovely stuff … and some silly kiddy choons to round it all off! Basically … if you need folky acoustic happiness … you'll never need to look elsewhere! We've gone and done the lot! Check 'em, out today!
-
We've always said it … The Funky Junkies are here to make you happy … very happy! Come on … you can do it! Turn that frown upside down! Don't be such a cynic … you look better with a smile on that lovely face of yours! Feels good, huh? And so does this album! Uplifting little folky tunes that are bright, breezy and brilliantly easy going! Nice! Super Happy Clappy Tracks … smiley acoustic folk!
-

Cheeky chappies, silly billies, funky … um … junkies … this one has the lot! The last in our Happy Tracks series of albums really doesn't take itself very seriously at all! In fact … you could say it's taking a little more than the mickey! But it's all harmless fun … with a splash of wonky, a touch of plonky … a little bit slapstick to complete its schtick! So … get those practical jokes at the ready! Super Grinny Mini Tracks … kiddy acoustic folk!
-
Rise and shine, Campers! That's right … it's time to get up and at 'em! Us Junkies might love a lie in … but there's musical works to be made! And here's some we made earlier! The first instalment from our Happy Tracks series featuring peppy choons of sunny guitars mixed with a smidgen of indie and pop! So let's get this show on the road and let the smiles commence! Super Smirky Perky Tracks … upbeat acoustic folk!
-
Plinky Plonky. When you hear those words … you simply know what you're going to get! So we won't bore you with the details! Suffice to say that the Junkies filled this album up with more reality plink than you can shake a doco plonk at! Pizzi strings, pretty pianos, dinky orchestras and donky marimbas … all recorded live and direct to lovely warm tape! It was that easy! Simply Plinky Plonky … floaty strings and other things!
-
Forget the blockbusters. You want kudos? You go arty! These tracks are directed for those moments when you need something that feels more personal, independent and a little … well … arthouse. Feathery strings entwined with powdery pianos to soundtrack the love, the loss, the regret and the wonderment of life. So relax … us Junkies made sure that your every colour graded shot will count! Filmic Fluffiness … for arthouse cinema and drama.
-
Following on from its zingy sister album Fresh Underscores … this collection of 30 tracks takes things a little softer and a little smoother. Frothy, creamy, dreamy servings gently mixed and mastered by the Junkies to politely sit in the background yet still provide plenty of sensory pleasure! So grab a spoon … and dive in! Sweet Underscores … deliciously understated!
-
We know what it's like … you've always got a thirst on … a thirst for great underscores that is! Well … voilà!

In this world of doom and gloom, there are actually people out there who want to do good, change the world, walk on the sunny side of the street and make the world a better place! It's a crazy notion, huh?! Us Junkies, like you, actually agree with that ethos … and so we decided to send these good people some support via the power of music! Inspiringly Uplifting … the sky is the limit.

We're at it again with the funky shiz! Here's how us Funky Junkies do it.

Fire up the turntable, throw down Funky Grooves, put the needle on the record … and party! Funky Grooves … it's the Fun in the Funky!

Winning Indie – The Rematch … 37 Stadium Anthems!
-
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!
-
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! (Oh ok … there's a couple of bangers in there too!) Full House … shuffling funky deals!
-
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 electric guitar … Gorgeously Guitary … bright, breezy and beautiful.
-
Block the street! Jack the power! Set up that sound system! Mr DJ … spin 'em! Light that BBQ … we got chicken to grill! Beatboxers … you're on! Crack that fire hydrant … girls … it's bikini time! And you'll find us Junkies in the middle of the mayhem! Tip Top Drop Top Hip Hop is where we at … bringing the summer block party starters!
-
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!
-
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!
-
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? Think again! Things Happening Loudly … it does just that … turned up to 11 … no … wait … 12!
-
Curious questions, quirky answers … somehow we'll get to the bottom of all this! We just have to probe, change tack, ask the right thing at the wrong time, think laterally and view from a stranger angle! Inquisitive Documentary Textures complements our Light and Dark versions of the 'Textures' albums and fills some gaps you still need answers for! Inquisitive Documentary Textures … it's All The Questions.
-
Flashes of light, moments of hope, good luck feelings and uplifting scenes, shots and stories! Light Documentary Textures feels like a bunch of subtle joy and happiness … mixed in with a little tender heartbreak. They say it's always darkest just before dawn. Well … The Funky Junkies have just brought you the dawn! We'll help you through the day! Light Documentary Textures … it's All The Up Feels!
-
There's a lot of bad news out there. Dark Documentary Textures covers the sombre, the sad and the mad. From far corners through to close to home … we have a lot to deal with, a lot to sort out. Keep reporting the bad news … hopefully it will help us all collectively make things better and get change happening. Dark Documentary Textures … All The Down Feels.
-
Cities … big places with so many people living so many varied lives! In contrast to the Night Hours Edition, this Urbanistica album captures moments through the day and turns them into music. Day Hours Edition soundtracks the success, the enjoyment and those little sparks of excitement that come with the sun lit hours of living in the city! Urbanistica (Day Hours Edition) … 24 City Moments. 24 City Lives.
-
As a city changes from day to night, so does its energy. Unlike its sister album, Urbanistica (Day Hours Edition), the Night Hours Edition becomes moodier, more mysterious and a little bit magical. Pulsing beats, subtle grooves, eclectic electronica … and as always with city life … the odd surprise too! Lovers, night owls and insomniacs unite … The Funky Junkies have soundtracked your evening! Urbanistica (Night Hours Edition) … 24 City Moments. 24 City Lives.
-
We know, we know … "Already?!", you cry! But hear us out. It's called Kinda Christmassy … as in 'not Overtly Christmassy' … so don't shudder … embrace! 25 twinkling tracks of uplifting warmth and shivery beauty via wondrous solo piano tracks and delicate orchestral pieces. We also put together 10 carol renditions with a touch of Funky Junkies magic sprinkled in. Kinda Christmassy … magical, festive, wintery, warm.
-
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!
-
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!
-

-
Yo … Brazil ain't all mankinis and feathers y'know?! No, no, no! Chilled out bars, street life culture, cool cafes, tucked away record shops … you know there's even a massive rainforest?

Gorgeous piano and touches of strings played exquisitely by the Junkies, with rhythm, pathos, love, class, regret and questions unanswered. You'll have the punters crying in the aisles in no time! Piano. For Film. … delicate themes and underscores.
-
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. Love, loss, break ups and make ups … it's all in there … just like our lives, and just like yours.

Check 'em out!
-
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. Posh Stuff … keeping it classy.
-
No one can stop it! The rise of E.D.M. keeps, um, rising! Of course us Brits did it all 25 years ago, but things have changed a lot since then! Look, we're not talking subtle here, ok? Expect the ruff, the epic, the cheeky, the deep. There are some lighter choons in the middle but overall this one is havin' it … large … BIG STYLE! Watch ya bass bins! Phat Bangers … explosive electronic dance music!
-
Life. It's difficult enough without searching for music! What you want is to find it! So boys and girls, we made The Choon Finder! It's pretty simple. We stayed away from those over complicated search systems and steered clear of the 'oh so groovy' ones too! We made it eeeeasy!

-
We've built our bunker, we've stocked up on supplies … The Junkies know the end of the world is coming! Do you? We're not talking meteors and aliens … we're talking bankers, governments, the Illuminati, man! They're out to get us, they're out to get you, we know it! So let's have it … time the 1% get the message. We The People! It's a Conspiracy … and the truth will out!
-
Dinner parties. One minute you're passing around the After Eight mints … and the next minute you're removing your best mate's wife's bra! We've all been there! So at TFJ we had a rummage through some drawers and came across some tunes we bashed out years ago! Swingtastic! Put your keys in the bowl … and pray you don't get Mr Watts from number 35! The Swingers Party … it's sex in the suburbs!
-
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, melody, and made you wanna dance, mosh and sing along! Oh well … at least we have One Direction now! Baggy, Britpop and Beyond … halcyon indie from the 90's!
-
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 low and the holistic knob cranked all the way right! Totally Zen … relaxing drones, tones and soundscapes!
-
All of our tracks download with underscores and alternative mixes. But if you need one of the tracks tweaked then get on the blower and let us know! We can either get it changed in our state of the art 1980s studio or supply you with the stems and you can be all Superstar DJ yourself! Limo from the airport and champagne on ice not included!
-
Ok … we're bang on it here! We're talking blood, sweat, tears. We're talking no pain no gain and plenty of training. We're talking like … no Greggs' Cheese Pasties for a whole month! But if you want to be the best then dedication is what you need! Powerful beats, bouncing bass lines, meaty guitars and lots of endorphin fun! Bring. It. On. Energy Buzz … fully charged and ready to go!
-
Sometimes, us Junkies like to do something Posh. For Subtle Little Things we lost the beats and those banging bass lines and pulled out a brand new Alba microphone to capture some truly beautiful music! Halcyon countryside holidays, chilling out with friends in the park and delicately fragile moments. And you thought we didn't have it in us?! Pfff! Subtle Little Things … warm, smiley, touchy feely.
-
So here's the deal. Use our music and get free stuff … it's as simple as that. Some would call them bribes, others would call them incentives … we call them KICKBACKS! If you can prove that you've slipped some of our funky vibes into your productions, or given us a good idea, then you may just get something extra funky from the Junkies!
-
Everyone knows by now that The Funky Junkies are the rock stars of library. Just the other week Trucker Trash was out until 1am and had to get the night bus all the way back to East Dulwich! So … who you gonna turn to if you want some 'fist in the air' indie rock anthems fit for a sports stadium or two?! Well … it's obviously gonna be us innit! Winning Indie … plugged in stadium anthems!
-
We plugged a ZX Spectrum into an Atari into an Amstrad into a BBC Micro Computer into a Speak 'n' Spell into an Akai S900 into a handheld Donkey Kong game into a copy of Space Invaders into a vocoder synth into a guitar amp. Then we typed into the ZX Spectrum >10 PRINT 'THE FUNKY JUNKIES ARE SKILL' >20 GOT0 10. Then we hit record on the tape machine! 8 Bit Trips … addicted to bytes!
-
Aliens. If you know anything about us then you'll know that we'd be believers! But after years of sending telepathic messages to the E.T.'s … they still haven't come to get us! Enough is enough. Time to go find them ourselves! So grab your Space Raiders (only 20p!), fasten your seatbelts and join us on The Funky Junkies' magical mystery tour to the stars! Other Worlds … it's like … really spaced out, man!
-
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 …
-
Natural this, no colourings that, free from preservatives … blah de bloody blah! Where's the fun in eating all that rubbish? No wonder kids today look so ill all the time! What they need is the staple diet what made us Junkies the fine figures we are today! Sugar. Colourings. Fat. Flavourings. Preservatives! Those things make you feel good 'innit!? Cranked Kids … 100% artificial everything!
-
Right then. Take one tall, skinny, 180 Degrees, Half Caff Macchiato. Add a touch of caramel and a sprinkle of grated chocolate. Take a seat. Roll up a Colombian Doobie. Light it. Order a couple of space cakes and chow down. Come on … we're all adults here! You thought we meant coffeeshop as in Starbucks? You do know we're called The Funky Junkies right?! Coffeeshop Vibes … 27 mellow flavours!
-
So the brief from the Boss Man Tim went something like this. '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!
-
No Junky is an island as the saying goes. We might be massive show offs giving it the big one but we also like to listen to you from time to time! 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 we'll be coherent 100% of the time (especially before 11am!) but we'll try our best … ok?
-
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 …
-
Think you've got what it takes to be one of The Funky Junkies? We'll be the judge of that! Get over to Soundcloud and send us your demos. We'll either have a right laugh at your expense or we'll offer you a lucrative recording contract … all the peanuts you can eat!

lt's a pretty simple concept. We love music. And we bloody LOVE takeaways. So we mashed the two together!

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!

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.
