UK based production duo Alex Rizzo and Elliot Ireland are better known as Skeewiff – a pairing whose cheeky humour and dancefloor production skills created a unique sound.  Essentially an electronic breakbeat act, they include elements of jazz, lounge and big band music into their style. The result is a contemporary, often instrumental music that is much used by Games, Film and TV producers (FIFA, NIKE etc) and consequently many Skeewiff tracks are subliminally familiar to a wide audience. They have also collaborated with 60's library legends like Hammond organist Alan Hawkshaw and remixed many similar acts like Lemon, Ursula 1000 and Amy Winehouse.

​

At the turn of the millennium Skeewiff had already tasted worldwide success under various musical monikers and their attention turned towards founding their own record label - Jalapeno Records. Primarily as a vehicle to house their new project and to champion like-minded acts producing high quality music they set about getting the house in order and preparing the first few releases.  Fast-forward almost twenty years and the label has evolved to be what it is today, a home to a host of talented Funk, Soul, Disco and Electronic artists with a worldwide reputation for quality.

​

The boys returned to Jalapeno for a special album of updated cover versions of some of their very favourite tunes. 2023 saw a selection of killer covers of tracks like Spanish Flea, Exclusive Blend, Amen Brother and Misirlou and saw the band back on the radio with 6 Music broadcasting a guest mix and receiving heavy support from Craig Charles. The 'Something Like That?' album brought all these singles together on one rather lovely limited edition violet vinyl LP.
