Tom Caruana - Penguin Strut

Genre: Funk / Breaks / Hip-Hop Instrumental
Year Released: 2025

Description:

“Penguin Strut” is a standout cut from producer Tom Caruana — a vibrant, sample-rich instrumental that blends funk, jazz, and Hip-Hop aesthetics with Caruana’s signature collage-style production approach.

Built on tight drum loops, playful horn stabs, and layered percussion, the track feels like a lost ’70s library-funk gem filtered through a modern beatmaker’s sensibility. Its quirky rhythms and upbeat groove have made it a favourite among DJs looking for dancefloor-friendly instrumental funk with Hip-Hop roots.

A perfect example of contemporary producers creating music deeply informed by the breakbeat tradition, “Penguin Strut” slots comfortably beside the classic 45s that inspired it.
