With releases on Hartchef, Frankie, Moon Harbour, Morris/Audio or Frankie, Tom Ellis is top funk jammer! His “Rum scum” release is a special triple-layer deep-fill extravaganza of an EP! Tom supplies the main ingredients, kicking things off on the A-side with bleeps, beats and basslines exploding into chunky dancefloor fillers. On the B-side, it’s fab frech producer Skat (well know for his releases on Karat) adding his deep and tricky flavour to “Rum scum"! May the funk be with you!

De:Bug (GER): “Gibt es wirklich erst 14 Floppy Funk Platten? Das ist überraschend. Die Tracks der neuen Platte von Tom Ellis jedenfalls legen die Latte für tuschelnd perlende Housemusik mit jazzigem Funk noch einmal um einiges höher und der Titeltrack klingt fast erstickt trocken, und kickt trotzdem wie Hölle. Aber auch "Approach" ist ein Meisterwerk reduzierter Schnodderigkeit und aus dem Nichts geschüttelten Überfunks. Die Rückseite mit dem Skat Mix von "Rum Scum" überzeugt zwar, ist mir aber etwas zu nah am Orginal. bleed•••• ”

Italoboys(Mothership/Four Musi: “veryvery nice, both versions, I love this label ”

Jamie Jones (Crosstown Rebels: “I really like the Skat mix of this. I am a fan of Tom Ellis, but I prefer the housier sound that they were doing on trimsound a few years ago. But this is still cool.”
