Funkier Sounds Episode 172 (Deep --> World --> Boogie --> Bangers)

This was my first one for a little while - personal and technological issues have been getting in the way once again. So it felt good to be back on for a full two hour mix! Started with a small tribute to the legend Jimmy Cliff, as the news of his passing broke a few hours before. Then into some moody and deep vibes for a while until I switched things up, we went to Africa for a while, slowed things down for some future funk, then cranked matters back up for some disco house stompers and a cheeky demo from myself. It’s good to be back!

Funkier Sounds Episode 171 (Assorted Funky Goodies)

I’ve been unable to do my show for the last few weeks, so I was very happy to be back on Twitch for a full two hour sesh. I had no plan, so I jumped in at mid-tempo and worked my way up gradually. We had disco, deep house and boogie amongst other bits, and it was fun!

Don't Call Me Dead - FREE DOWNLOAD

So I very nearly didn’t have a free download for you this month - I was working on something but it didn’t work out and I had to abandon it. Then a family holiday took me out of action for a bit and left me with just a few days to rustle something up. I managed to pull it out of the bag by smashing two random tracks together, and I think it’s actually not half bad. It’s a Lady Gaga track called Dead Dance (which I suppose could be tenuously spun as halloween-related?) mashed up with the vocal from Madison Avenue’s 1999 funky house smash Don’t Call Me Baby. It’s very straightforward but kind of works, and of course it’s a free download for ya…

Funkier Sounds Episode 170 (Mostly new finds)

Very happy to be back with a two hour session - my first for a little while. I’ve been downloading some new tunes recently so this was billed as a ‘new finds’ session, although it ended up being a bit of a mixed bag - some new bits, but interspersed with a few favourites from my collection. But a real mash up of styles and plenty of genre hopping!

Funkier Sounds Episode 169 (Slow Jams)

Just a one hour session this week as I slowly recover from being ill, but since it’s my first one in three weeks it felt like I had to do some sort of mix. Kept this one slow and slinky, around the 100BPM mark throughout, and managed to cover a good amount of ground in 60 minutes - with some P-Funk, some Hip Hop, some R&B and some sexy disco vibes.
