Funkier Radio

After last episode's 6th birthday special, I was back with more funkier fun for episode 160! I had a slightly shorter bit of the show due to a longer guest mix, but I still crammed in all sorts - disco, nu-disco, boogie, hip hop, funk and of course a bit of weirdness. The guest mix this time was a real treat - 70 minutes of beats, breaks, funk & soul and hip hop from DJ Russkins. Russell is a fan of the show, and when he sent me this mix I knew it would fit the bill perfectly - it's a fast moving and fun trip through genres and eras, with loads of fun mashups and recognisable hooks. Been a while since I've had a guest mix quite like this, but i love it!

Funkier Sounds celebrated its 6th birthday with an hour of tunes from me and then an hour of tunes from a DJ and producer that I've been into forever. My hour was the usual mix - starting things mid-tempo and funky, bringing things down a notch and then cranking things a touch with a few promo goodies before the handover. In hour 2 I was dead chuffed to welcome none other than Fingerman. Gregg's a bit of a legend in the game, and someone who I looked up to loads before I got into producing. Love that I've put out a couple of bits on his annual Hot Digits compilations (eyes on this year!), love that we hung out at Glasto a few years back, and love that he's done a brilliant mix for my show! It's the expected level of lushness, launching straight in after the trademark spoken intro. Gets quite full on towards the end too, but always keeping it cool, well-mixed and very Fingerman. Bit shouts to Gregg for the mix - give him a follow, yeah? https://soundcloud.com/fingermanedit https://www.instagram.com/fingermandisco/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Balearic Skip - Mighty 2 Opolopo - Minneopolopolis 3 Dam Swindle, Tom Misch - Yes, No, Maybe (Sterac Electronics Remix) 4 Young Franco - Drop Your Love 5 Kazzey - Love Trouble (feat Laura Corini) 6 Mick Jessup - Take It Easy When You Get Down 7 BT Express - Give Up The Funk (CMAN Edit) 8 Patrice Rushen - Number One (12' Version) 9 Monkey Boots - Impossible Need 10 DJ “S” - Groove On 11 Chuggin Edits - Ooo This Love 12 Ben Jamin - Dance - Hot Gorilla Records 13 Dee-Bunk - Go Again 14 Parliament - Funkin' For Fun 15 David Morales - Boriqua 16 Jaegerossa - Lay It Down 17 Get Down (Young Pulse -Make U Mine- retouch) 18 Enrique Iturralde - The Pump 19 Shabi - Back To You 20 Nico Cortazzo - Lady Soul 21 Dusky - Skin Deep FINGERMAN GUEST MIX Roxanne Shante - Live On Stage (House Mix) Fingerman & Chewy Rubs - Party Dude Shabi - Ghetto Beats Kenny Summit - The Cookout Motor City Drum Ensemble - Raw Cuts 1 Soul Of Hex feat Motion Parallax - Face Down Felipe Gordon - Profundo Alma Negra - The Vibe Luke Solomon - Fire You Up (Body Edit) Robot 84 - The Weekend (Vocal Edit) Liam Dunning - Just For You Andy Bach - D.A.N.C.E Q-Burns Abstract Message - Mess Of Afros (Glen Underground Remix) Riva Starr - How It Feels Dj Falcon - Together (Sgt Slick Rework)

No guest mix this time, so I kindly stepped in to supply the whole 120 minutes of grooves. We kicked off with some lovely soul a'la Aretha and Marvin, then went into some low tempo boogie, some weirdness, some African vibes, more weirdness, and via a few stop offs along the way we ended up with some beautiful, lesser known disco. I had fun!

My hour started off nice and funky, quickly built up the tempo to cram in a few promos, and ended up with a few dusty disco belters north of 130BPM. Fun times! I was lucky to snag a very special guest for the second hour. French DJ, singer, composer, multi instrumentalist, producer and audio engineer David Baluteau AKA Joi N'Juno. He's another one of my favourite producers, specialising in funky, danceable tunes with African influences. His mix is bloody brilliant - lots of tropical sunshine sounds, some solid nu-disco and housed up worldwide oddities, with a few of his own in there, including a bit of unreleased stuff. Loved every minute of this one, and I hope you enjoy it too.

The first half of this episode of Funkier Sounds was very much a Southport Weekender affair, thanks to me making my second visit there last weekend. It was, with one exception, all tracks I'd heard there, so after a little warm up it was more or less wall to wall soulful house with a splash of gospel house for good measure. I ended my hour with something brand new from me, that will be available for a free download later this week. For hour 2 it was time to hand over to Alessandro Oliveira, a DJ and radio host from Brazil. Alessandro has kindly invited me to be on his show, and I'll be his guest this week! Alessandro's mix is a brilliant disco house selection, but not that slightly annoying type of jacking disco house - this is refined, beefed up interpretations of classics, with a few lesser known gems in there too. It really is very good! Huge thanks to Alessandro for the mix - give him a follow… https://www.instagram.com/discodanceradioshow/ https://soundcloud.com/discodanceradioshow …and keep an eye out for my mix for his show, dropping soon!

To celebrate the fact that I'm off to Southport Weekender this weekend, I decided to put together a little minimix of some of the sort of vibes I might be hearing over the weekend. It's soulful, bumpy house music with lots of funky basslines and skippy US Garage-style percussion. This sort of music nourishes my soul, I hope you like the mix! WATCH ON YOUTUBE... https://youtu.be/Vzmxf2T8_4I TRACKLIST 1 Cultured Pearls, Hoff - Mother Earth (Hoff's Optimistic House Edit) 2 Wez Whynt - You Will Know (Soullab Spiritual Vocal Mix) 3 Khubos - Let The Beat Ride 4 Stacy Kidd - Body Jerkin (feat Peven Everett) 5 Jamie Lewis - For You (feat.

This month's freebie is my own version of a track I absolutely love. Most people know The Brothers Johnson for the classic and very good track Stomp, but the true heads among us know that The Real Thing is where it's really at. The original slaps plenty already with its dramatic strings and falsetto vocal, but I've beefed things up a couple of notches and added some breakdowns for dramatic effect. I'm so pleased with how this one has come out, and I'd love for you to download and enjoy. And yes, of course I kept the sax solo!

My hour of Episode 155 was, once again, a bit of a tribute to geniuses that have sadly left us recently. After bidding farewell to Gwen McCrae and Roberta Flack last show, I did the same this time for the great Roy Ayers, Angie Stone and Yam Who? of Midnight Riot. I opened the show with his remix of my own track that came out on MR a couple of years back, and fitted in a few from him and Roy, and one from Angie too. Come on 2025 - stop it! Hour two was very special this time. I brought you a guest mix from a very talented producer who caught my ear late last year - Bralan Arias from Bogota, Colombia. His mix is almost all his own stuff, and almost all of it is unreleased. It's an absolute treat - loads of his trademark jazzy house sounds, some cheeky samples, plenty of Rhodes, some acid… and things pick up a fair bit towards the end. If this is the standard of his unreleased music this guy is seriously going places… give him a follow right now! https://soundcloud.com/bralanarias https://www.instagram.com/bralanarias HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Even Funkier - Don't Go Nowhere (Yam Who?

Here's episode 2 of my new series, a fifteen minute mini-showcase of a genre, sub-genre, vibe or theme close to my heart. This time we've got a quarter of an hour of sleazy, low-slung, squidgy late night fonk for your earholes from the likes of XL Middleton, Buscrates, Dam Funk, Opolopo and Dabeull. Stanky!

Keeping things international with the latest Funkier Session with a mix from Ferry Funky, a Dutch DJ based in Manila. This mix is awesome, and perfectly captures an ideal Funkier Sessions vibe - a sublime unison of hip hop and funk, picking up the pace and veering into disco territory later on. Wonderful stuff! Please give Ferry a follow - https://soundcloud.com/ferryfunky https://www.instagram.com/ferryfunky

This episode was part tribute to two legendary women who have sadly left us recently - Roberta Flack and Gwen McCrae. Two tracks from each in my hour, and what wonderful tracks they are too. I also played a load of new promos in the second half, and ended on a bloody classic. Hour two was the second guest mix appearance from my good Danish friend and boss of Discoholics Anonymous Recordings, Ken Avalon - AKA Discoholic Ken. Ken's a top guy and his record label has quietly become one of the very best out there, and one I've released a few tracks on. Ken's mix is slinky disco vibes, keeping the tempo down around 110 for the duration, and there's another Gewn McCrae track in there too, which is lovely. Huge thanks to Ken for the sweet mix, and check out Discoholics Anonymous here - https://www.discoanon.com/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Roberta Flack - Feel Like Makin' Love [The Reflex Revision] 2 Quintus Project - Night Flight 3 HOLDTight - Late Night Flight 4 Belohnungszentrum - Dance On The Groove 5 LS Movement Band - Move 6 Gwen McCrae - Funky Sensation (mikeandtess edit 4 Friends) 7 Soulkitchen Cookin' Crew - Space Princess 8 Brothers Johnson - Get The Funk Out Ma Face 9 Tasha Thomas - Hot Buttered Boogie 10 Frankfurt Funk - Jheri Curls 11 Bruno Borlone & Boogie Mike - Brick House 12 Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway - Back Together Again 13 Gwen McCrae - Damn Right It's Good 14 Jaegerossa - Richards Gear 15 Solid Ground (Brian Tappert For The Heads Remix) 16 Justnique - Tocco Illimitato 17 Mannix - No No No (Muzungu Sunset mix) 18 Paris Cesvette & Muzikman Edition feat.

My hour was one of those unpredictable affairs when I'd just bought a load of music and was playing exclusively from that - a bucket of assorted tracks that were new to me, although not necessarily new new. Big basslines gave way to cosmic chug, and it mostly hung together surprisingly well! Hour 2 was a really fun new mix from Flick C, who recently did a mix for my Funkier Sessions series and has now returned for a radio slot. Big, big tunes in this one - from Jamiroquai to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, pumped up versions of Curtis Mayfield and Michael McDonald and a whole lot more, you're in for a high energy hour!

Most of my hour was taken up by mellow, deep electronic grooves, gradually cranking things up to squeeze in a couple of new bits from me right at the end. Hour 2 was all about my very special guest Mannix, boss of Dafia Records. He's treated us to a very fine mix of disco, nu-disco and classy, jazzy house vibes, with a few from him and a few nice edits of tracks you should know. Truly lovely stuff!

I kept things bubbling around the 100 BPM mark for quite a while this time, because it felt good… then I picked things up with a little tribute to Sam from Sam & Dave who has sadly left us, a few promos, some disco, a few slightly more banging bits and some jazzy goodness to round things off. My guest this time was Stewart Birch, a wicked producer and DJ from up North. His set is full of big, fun disco and funky tunes, and is very enjoyable indeed. Thanks to Stewart for the mix, give him a follow if you don't mind - https://soundcloud.com/stewartbirch https://www.instagram.com/stewart_birch/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Charles Wright - Express Yourself [The Reflex Revision] 2 Don't Tell It - JMMSTR 3 Lumidee - Never Leave You 4 Gil Scott-Heron - Shut 'Um Down 5 Shalvoy - Voodoo In The Back 6 Delfonic - Take The Heat Rework 7 DiCE_NZ - Taxi 8 Rabzooz - The Funk Go Round 9 Sade - Love U More (Mr Leigh Edit) 10 The Boogie Man, Sipho Gumede - Jika Jika 11 Sam And Dave - Soul Sister Brown Sugar 12 The Trammps - Can We Come Together Joey Negro Philly Dub Excursion 13 The Types - All You Ever Wanted To Know About Love (FunkyDeps Re-Edit) 14 Carol Ray Band - Let's Let Our Love Thaw Out 15 Sgt Slick - Everybody Dance 16 Josh Ludlow - Ya Late! 17 Tentendo, R.ICO - Ride 18 Tech Support - 5 Years 19 Bralan Arias - life is like jamming 20 Mellow Man - Jazz Not Jazz 21 Claude VonStroke feat.

A deep and slightly moody hour of simmering grooves from me this time, with not much chat to interrupt the flow. The tunes felt strong though, and I had a nice time mixing it. For hour 2 it was over to Kate Knox AKA My Mate Kate, who mixed up a storming, upbeat hour of funky bangers. Lots of fun this one, massive thanks to Kate for the top mix!

My hour was a nice mix of slow ones, funky ones, lesser known ones and banging ones, with a little tribute to the late Quincy Jones to start. For the second hour I handed things over to Pete Lynch from Derry in Ireland for a frankly excellent guest mix - the first half was all slinky, loopy chuggers, picking up to some more lively disco vibes towards the end. Really enjoyed this one!

Opened my hour with another new (and free) one from me, then moved through flavours of disco, funk and various other delights- hitting soulful, exotic and jazzy notes along the way. In the second hour I handed over to Kellit for a very special all vinyl set. Kellit is label curator for the fab Disco Exotic, a wicked producer of chunky tunes, a great DJ and a very lovely bloke. His mix is high on the BPMs, full of bumpy, old school sounds and is a lot of fun. Give him a follow, and check out some of his tunes too - https://soundcloud.com/kellit1 HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Curtis Mayfield - Tripping Out (Even Funkier Edit) 2 Chris Grubizna - Feel the Jam 3 Conway Temple - Love Lights (12 Disco-Funk Extended Mix) 4 Rumple-Stilts-Skin - I Think I Want To Dance With You 5 Mystic Merlin - Mr. Magician 6 Studio Rio - Bill Withers - Lovely Day 7 James Brown - Stone To The Bone 8 Johnnie Taylor - Love Is Better In The AM 9 Giovanni Damico - Tropica (feat.

My hour was OK this time, but unhelpfully my decks crashed! Doesn't happen often but it happened this time, so we had a little bit of awkward silence while I did a quick reboot. I could've edited it out but I decided to keep it in… it's live radio, baby - it is what it is! Once we were back in action these was time for some funk, disco and boogie, a bit of housier stuff and a lovely epic finish. For the second hour I was thrilled to hand proceedings over to Phonk D - talented producer, DJ, label head and owner of a mighty fine moustache. Dirk came to my attention about 6 years ago with his awesome First Choice edit that was being played everywhere for a while, and which I played in the first hour of this show. His mix is a wonderful meander through mellower vibes taking in the likes of Mr Scruff, cranking up the pace a little bit towards the end. A very nice mix it is too!

I kicked off hour 1 with my new (and free) Etta James edit (grab it here - https://soundcloud.com/evenfunkier/night-people), and also dropped a new one from my good friend Pete Ellison (grab that one here - https://www.traxsource.com/track/12760183/get-down-to-james-brown-original-mix) as I darted through the genres with some vintage funk, hip hop, deep and dusty house and a few disco belters to finish. I then handed over to the talented producer, in demand remixer, co-head of Hot Gorilla records and all round top guy Andy Buchan for the guest mix. Andy takes us on a varied, interesting and sometimes slightly mad journey through his musical mind, with heavy 90s influences but some newer sounds too. Loved this one!

Episode 142 of Funkier Sounds is dedicated to the memory of Danielle Moore from Crazy P. I played a good few tracks featuring her divine vocals in the first hour, and did my best to put together a set of the sort of deep, sleazy, low-slung disco that Crazy P do so well. For hour 2 it felt like the only right thing to do was to replay the guest mix she did for me earlier this year. I was so thrilled when she finally sent me this mix, and super proud to put it out on my little show. Loads of the songs in it have since made it into my collection - a marker of her impeccable taste, and it's quite emotional to hear those voice drops she so kindly put in again. Like so many others I'll really miss her - she's gone way too soon. But let's bask in the warm glow of a Danielle Moore DJ set and remember her fondly as a kind soul and a true star. ❤️ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Crazy P - Never Gonna Reach Me (Hot Toddy mix) 2 Even Funkier - Get On Down 3 RTSAK - Give It Up (Benedek Remix) 4 Crazy P - SOS 5 Situation, Andre Espeut - What Is Going On?

In the first hour of this show I played a mixed bag of bits I've downloaded reasonably recently. Still having all sorts of computer issues but I've managed to get them on a USB at least. Nice mix of vibes - some quite chilled and balearic stuff building towards a few soulful house numbers. I didn't manage to get a guest for hour 2, so I thought why don't I do a mix of my own stuff? So that's what I did - there's 23 of my edits, originals, remixes, rejigs and collabs crammed in! I've seen other people play sets of just their own stuff and honestly never thought I'd be in a position to do so, and you know what? It was a whole lot of fun! From some of my earliest experiments to a new release, it's a festival of Funkier!

I started this episode in a bit of a grumpy mood because rekordbox/ Mac issues meant that all of latest downloads that I was so looking forward to playing remained trapped on my Mac and not my USB. But I soon cheered up as I picked out some choice cuts from the 8,000 or so tracks that were on the stick. A mixed bag as always but keeping things more on the disco side of things for a lot of it… …and for good reason, as my guest this time was none other than Tatiana - part of The Disco Express. TDE are one of my favourite labels, and they should be one of your favourite labels too. And Tatiana is an expert selector, who put together a superb mix for your listening pleasure. Tatiana is a London-based DJ, audio producer, and music journalist. Her sound moves smoothly between disco, high-energy italo, and soulful house, all underpinned by funky basslines to keep you moving on the dance floor. She has played the likes of E1, 25 Paul Street, Colour Factory, Night Tales, Oslo Hackney, XOYO, and POW Brixton, and at festivals such as El Dorado, Queen's Yard Summer Party, Access The Festival, and Brixton Disco Festival, as well as regular gigs in Berlin at venues such as the iconic KitKatClub, Bulbul, Klunkerkranich, and Crack Bellmer. In 2024, she made her Paris debut at Les Bains, and has just returned from playing her first run of gigs in Tokyo in the spring. She is part of the team behind The Disco Express - an East London label & event series renowned for hosting the world's biggest names in disco. She's active behind the scenes booking line-ups, managing events, and helping with the day-to-day running of the label. Hue thanks to Tatiana for the mix, you know what to do! https://www.instagram.com/tanya.dudnikova/ https://soundcloud.com/tanya-dudnikova-212647695 HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Late Night Workshop feat.

I opened this episode with my new one - the opening track on the forthcoming Summer Sizzlers compilation from The Discography Lessons…. And also played a few more tracks from the comp throughout, interspersed with my usual unpredictable blend of genres. For hour 2 I handed over to DJ and producer Josh Chamberlain from Hertfordshire UK for a tasty house mix. At times spacey, dubby, garagey, deep and techy, and weighing in at a reasonably hefty 128BPM, this ones a good one to lock into and groove. Big thanks to Josh for a lovely mix, and do make sure you say hi to him on the socials… https://www.instagram.com/joshchamberlainn/ https://soundcloud.com/josh-chamberlain-56527649 HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Even Funkier - Sax On The Beach 2 Sébastien Tellier - Venezia (Tiger & Woods Remix) 3 Bele Boum Bap - Mizik Se Travay Nou 4 The O'Jays - Give The People What They Want (mikeandtess Edit) 5 Edwin Birdsong - Goldmine 6 The Disclosure Project - Halocline 7 Temu - Funkadophilus & The Brass Operator (An Ode to Bootsy) 8 Steve Gadd - Together Forever 9 Commodores - The Bump edit 10 Ben Jamin - Hold On Me - Hot Gorilla Records 11 Soul Central - The Destroyer (JARC Remix) 12 Gil Scott-Heron - Gun 13 Day Paget - Paradise 14 Ain't Nobody (Extended Mix) 15 Ben Banjo Field - Feel Your Touch 16 Gigi Croccante - Well Pretty Much Get Down Tonite 17 Mark Whites - For The Vibe 18 Pete Maude - Sweetest Taboo (do what you feel mix) 19 Curtis Mayfield - What Is My Woman For?

I was back live on NDC after taking a little Glasto recovery break two weeks ago, and I had a lovely time mixing up funky nuggets old and new. Then in hour 2 I was thrilled to present a guest mix from the man responsible for a good few of my favourite edits of the last few years, DJ Laurel from Warsaw. He's had releases on a load of excellent labels, and this mix showcased his skill at selecting the best in nu-disco and funky goodness. Really enjoyed this one!

I didn't do this one live due to Glastonbury taking over my life once again, but I still found time beforehand to knock up a nice mix of funky bits and bobs. But this one's all about my guest - one of my favourite producers and someone I've had the pleasure of remixing, Solazz! Oscar has put together a treat of a mix - nu-disco but of the highest order, seriously classy stuff. You're going to want to check this one out!

I pretty much just did a straight DJ mix this time instead of jumping around the BPMs the whole time like I so often do - worked my way up from a cool 110BPM to a frisky 128BPM to sneak in some joyous UK Garage towards the end. My guest this time was Gavin Macdonagh, otherwise known as Gamadon. Gavin didn't hold back with his guest appearance, cramming a huge amount into a one hour mix. It's a high powered affair, with disco, pumping disco house and jacked up funk, and it's a whole lotta fun! You can find and follow Gamadon in the following places… https://soundcloud.com/gamadon https://www.instagram.com/gamadonofficial/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Ross Fitz - I Miss Your Love ('85 Mix) 2 Crazy P - Never Gonna Reach Me (Hot Toddy mix) 3 William Stuckey - Country People (Flying Mojito Bros Refito)_PN 4 Djeneba Seck - Nata Furu 5 Jacques Renault - Get Down 6 Dusty Springfield - Spooky (Jayl Funk Edit) 7 Brothers Johnson - Brother Man (SLY Edit) 8 Sound Support - Europe 9 Wajatta - Slippin' 10 Chewy Rubs - Afro Disco 11 Soft House Company - What U Need 12 Grey/Hawks - Now I'm Fine 13 Mindchime - Soul Freedom 14 Glenn Underground - Urban Ensemble (Original Mix) 15 David Walters - Soul Tropical (La Fine Equipe Extended Remix) 16 Rare Essence - Disco Fever 17 Jhelisa & Sunship - Friendly Pressure (Into The Sunshine Mix) 18 Mo'Funk/ Roland Clark - Bring Together GAMADON GUEST MIX 1.

After last fortnight's special 5th birthday show, I was back with another cracker of a guest mix for you, from Liverpool-based DJ and producer Ben Jamin. Ben's had releases on loads of labels including Discography Lessons, Discoholics Anonymous and Hot Digits, and is a real master of the slow mo edit. He's also a brilliant DJ, and has been kind enough to play some of my slower stuff in his mixes. His mix, of course, starts slow at a sub 100BPM simmer and gradually cranks up, moving through a variety of disco, soulful and worldy sounds. A very tasty mix! Show Ben some of that good love please… https://soundcloud.com/ben_jamin_edits https://www.instagram.com/_benjaminmusic HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 2 Robby Hunter Band - Que Paso 3 Boscoe - He Keeps you (Belabouche edit) 4 Leroy Burgess, The Reflex - Heavenly (The Reflex Revision) 5 Stages feat.

My little show has turned five! Five years ago, just days before my second child was due to be born, I for some reason decided it was a good time to start a radio show. And so that's what I did - the show was called Funkier Radio and it wasn't a real radio show, because I prerecorded it and just put it up on Soundcloud. But now it's live, on a real radio station and has been renamed Funkier Sounds. Over the years I've had some brilliant guests including The Reflex, Michael Gray, Danielle Moore, loads of less known but still brilliant DJs and a whole load of my friends, and for this celebratory episode I brought you another very special guest. My guest was Sam Redmore, a DJ and producer who I've loved for a few years now. Someone on the more funk & soul side of the sounds I'm into rather than the house and disco side, Sam was the perfect selector to help me mark the fifth birthday. Sam's mix is brimming with funky delights - funk and soul originals and reworks, some hip hop stuff, some jazzy stuff, some of his own stuff… a fast moving, funky and really enjoyable mix! Big thanks to Sam, and please show him some internet lovin' - https://soundcloud.com/samredmore https://www.instagram.com/sam_redmore/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 FMAC - Listen To The Wind Blow (V's edit) 2 The Allergies - Every Trick In The Book 3 A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation 4 Lo Fidelity Allstars - Deep Ellum...

I started this fortnight's show with something brand new and unreleased from me, then wobbled around the tempos as usual. Largely kept quiet as I keep getting mic feedback and haven't been able to sort it out yet. Ended my hour with a nice trio of obscure disco gems up at around 130bpm, in preparation for my guest! My guest was Abby Daze, a multi-genre DJ from London. Abby's mix went in quick and didn't let up, keeping the energy high and the mixing fast throughout. But she packed a ton of good stuff into this decidedly peak time set. Massive thanks to Abby, and give her a follow on Insta… https://www.instagram.com/djabbydaze/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST RAH Band - Messages From the Stars (Even Funkier Edit) Howard Johnson & XL Middleton - Can't Get Away From Your Love (Boogie Mix) Toulouse - C'est Toujours Comme Ça L'amour (SLY Edit) Waiting in the Wings (East Coast Love Affair Mix) Bold Parade - Proxy 17 Concept Neuf - The Path (Sofrito edit) Mike Salta - Hey Moloko Dj Laurel - Don't Stop The Music Bootsy Collins - The Pinocchio Theory The Bar-Kays - Holy Ghost Melgado & Mena - Ave'w Lanmou Dames Brown, Waajeed - Glory (Kelly G- Shelter Stomp Club Mix) Dirtytwo - Embrace Bralan Arias - Being Aware Lee Wilson - We Chase The Sun (Mirko - Meex Remix) Manuel Kane - Disco Visions (Scruscru Remix) Leon Dahl - Delve In The Dell Mark Whites - La Rumba Flapjackers, J.

I had a nice time during my hour, playing a selection of disco and funk oldies, with a few promos in the second hour. Good to be back in business with my laptop fixed and my setup in its new and improved location - excuse a bit of feedback on the mic as i'm still getting everything just right. My guest this time was FunkSupply, a DJ from Portsmouth on the South coast of England. I had the pleasure of meeting him on a dancefloor in East London a couple of weeks back watching Young Pulse, and I can confirm he's a nice bloke. His mix is nice too - a pulsing, high energy mix of disco and disco house with tracks from the likes of Jamiroquai and Shapeshifters. Big thanks to FunkSupply for supplying the funk for this one, and make sure you check him out on t'interweb… https://soundcloud.com/funksupply https://www.instagram.com/funksupply/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Martin L.

Episode 130 nearly didn't happen - a few days after Episode 129 my mac broke in what seemed like a fairly conclusive manner, and I only just got it fixed in time. Had that not happened I could have played the tunes but would have had no way of broadcasting live, so it would've had to be a prerecord. In the end the show was able to go ahead as normal, but without any of the usual promos or new bits as I've been fully out of action in that regard. But I had fun delving into the depths of my USB to bring you a nice variety of funky goodness, including some African-flavoured beats from my recent Radio 1001 set, some hip hop and lots of the usual funk forward flavours. Then my guest in hour 2 continued the funky goodness. Si Kemp treated us to an hour of divine disco flavours, starting slow and slinky and and not increasing the tempo too much throughout - keeping things nice and classy throughout… just how I like it. A very high quality set, which I hope you enjoy.

The guest mix was a bit longer this time so my bit was shorter than usual, but I still found time to cram in a ton of the good stuff. Then it was over to my guest for an hour and 12 of top notch tunes. My guest this time was Ravy, a DJ from Bangalore, India. He's played parties for Dynamite Disco Club supporting the likes of Moodena, and his mix is a lovely journey through high quality house and disco house flavours, with a nice afro twist towards the end. Show Ravy some support… https://soundcloud.com/ravy_krn https://www.instagram.com/ravy.krn/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST # Track Title 1 Groovemasta - Your Love 2 Vagabundo Club Social - Mr. Mista 3 Bralan Arias - Jazzy Chato 4 Carlo Sine - Nobody Groove - Julian Sanza Remix 5 J-Felix - Future (Are We Living-) feat.

This one's all about the guest mix really so I won't talk too much about my hour, except that I premiered a new edit that I'm quite pleased with and which will be out soon! Anyway, on to that guest mix. Bit of a special one that has been in the works for ages and I wasn't sure would ever happen… but here it is! It's my massive honour to bring you an exclusive guest mix from none other than Danielle Moore of Crazy P. Crazy P are one of my absolute favourite acts, and they've been doing the business for literally decades now. They're one of the world's most in demand disco outfits… although with their unique take on the sound, calling them ‘disco' is doing them a bit of a disservice. I've had the privilege of witnessing them do their thing a couple of times and they put on a hell of a show, led by Danielle's wonderful voice and stage presence. I was totally trying my luck when I reached out to Danielle on Instagram to ask for a mix, but bless her she replied, she's absolutely lovely, we've been chatting a bit and she sent me this monster of a mix. Full of the sort of deep, low slung, after hours disco that Crazy P are known for, it's an absolutely impeccable selection, ending on a Crazy P classic. Possibly the biggest guest I've had on my show to date, and definitely one of the finest mixes ever to grace my little show. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!

I went in at a high tempo for this episode, slowed things right down then built it back up - all in the course of 40 minutes. It was a shorter set for me this time, because my guest mix was an hour and 20. Doing the honours this time was Chris Allen AKA Mr Feel Good. His mix is bloody brilliant - a wide ranging trip with influences of disco, house, funk, hip hop, pop, jacking and a whole lot more. Wonderful stuff! https://www.mixcloud.com/chris-allen50/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 MJ Cole / Elizabeth Troy - Crazy Love 2 BDK - Love Vibration 3 Even Funkier - Billy's Secret (Demo) 4 Shalvoy - You-re Not My Man 5 Patrick Cowley - Primitive World (Hifi Sean Mix) 6 Tour Maubourg, Ismael Ndir - Opening Theme 7 Ray Frazier & the Shades of Madness - Gonna Get Your Love 8 Kaidi Tatham - Two Tens Madam 9 Dabeull - DX7 (feat.

Episode 126 was another enjoyable one - I had a lovely time in hour one, mixing up all sorts of weirdness. Decided to start slow-ish and build up rather than jump around the BPM, so we go from moody Afro influences up to pumping disco, with a couple of brand spanking new bits from me in there. Quite smooth mixing from me for once, except at one point I hit the wrong button and completely stopped the music… but I don't think anyone noticed! Hour 2 was bloody good! We were treated to an hour of disco delights from Loughborough-based party starting duo DiscoJam. True to their name, this was a wonderfully put together and expertly mixed journey through disco and nu-disco sounds with a great mix of favourites, lesser-known cuts and a few surprises. Well worth a listen, and if you find yourself near Loughborough you should probably get yourself down to one of their parties! https://www.instagram.com/discojam.lboro/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Ebo Taylor - Odofo Nyi Akyiri Biara (Chillum Trio Afrobass Flip) 2 Beatconductor - Marrakech 3 Haute Pression - Pil Ou Face 4 Soulkitchen Cookin' Crew - Space Princess 5 Fatnotronic & In Flagranti - Botoque 6 Supertaste, Lazywax - Spins (Lazywax Remix) 7 George Clinton - Do Fries Go With That Shake (Know What I'm Sayin' remix/Explicit) 8 Dam-Funk, Ekkah - What's Up 9 B The Family - Just Want To Love Ya 10 Discotron - Slicker Than Your Average 11 Rose Royce - R.R.

Show two of 2024 felt like a good one. My selection was mainly oldish stuff, taking in vintage funk and disco, filthy basement club vibes, garage, hip hop, house, a little balearic tangent and a couple of new bits from myself. In hour two it was my great pleasure to welcome Rose Corps on to the show. Rose's mix is wonderfully eclectic, which is exactly what I try to make my show - so her mix fitted in beautifully. It's one of those lovely mixes where you never know what's around the corner, every track's a surprise. Less worrying about genre… more vibe!

Kicking off 2024 with a full two hours of me, since the guest mix I had planned didn't arrive in time. So it was me for hour 1 with a selection of stuff I've recently added to my collection, then me again in hour 2 with a mix I did for Empire Radio a couple of months back on a mostly afro-inspired, jazzy tip.

This first hour of this episode was about two things - firstly the Discoholics Anonymous 4 compilation, that I'm featuring on alongside a load of amazing producers. I played my track and some of the other, much better tracks on there. The second focus was celebrating the music of the late, great Amp Fiddler, who we sadly lost recently. His tracks have been regulars in my shows and mixes, and I played three of his funkiest in this episode as a little tribute. RIP, you funky soul. In hour 2 I handed over to Fray Bentos, a DJ and producer who I've been following for a while. He's released on loads of labels that I've been on like Hot Gorilla, Discoholics Anonymous and Hot Digits, and always brings the funky vibes. He's proved that in style here with an excellent mix - starting slow and moving through the gears very nicely. It's mostly classic funk vibes, but with a bit of a disco-tastic finish. I bloody loved it!

Took my time this episode, mixing in 23 mostly old tunes over the course of an hour and a quarter. Finished with some nice hidden disco gems. My guest this time was Guy Mitchell, who also goes by the name The Funky Soul Guy. His 45 minute guest mix showed us why - a fast moving stomp through some very nicely mixed disco house belters. Big thanks to Guy, and please give him a follow on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/guymitchelldj/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Manuel Costela - Catching Up Ur Smile 2 Situation - Let's Dance 3 Kornum - Don't Go Away 4 Drop Out Orchestra - Tunga Stenar (Monsieur Van Pratt Remix) 5 Jamiroquai - Too Young To Die (Pete Le Freq Refreq) 6 Tarantulaz - Stop The World 7 Hanna - Shimmer 8 HOLDTight - Late Night Flight 9 RLP - Do You Believe That Love Will Never Do Without You? 10 112, Notorious Big - Only You 11 Erykah Badu - Appletree 12 FF Edits - Do For Love 13 DJ Laurel - 4 More 14 The Gimmicks - Visst är du kär 15 Pete Whiteley - Superfly 16 Grey And Hanks - Dancin' (Joshua Mooney Edit) 17 Mystic Jungle - Get Down On It 18 Mahogany - My Chance To Dance 19 Kwick - Split Decision 20 The Bar Kays - Boogie Body Land (SLY Edit) 21 Persnickety All Stars - One Hundred & Nine 22 Eloise Whitaker - Don't turn your back on love (SLY Edit) 23 Jakob Mäder - Plugin Party

Started this one at a quick old tempo to cram in a few new bits from me, then took things down, then up, then down again - for that is the Funkier sounds way. All sorts of genres covered too… for that is the Funkeir Sounds way! Anyway, hour 2 was a lovely treat - I welcomed Ben Adams AKA GMGN. UK born but based out in Boston these days, I've been a fan of Ben's mixes and productions for a while now. He was the guest when I stood in for Pete Ellison's Friday lunchtime show a while back and his mix was a proper journey, and that's what prompted me to ask him to be on my show. Well, he's delivered another fantastic journey, starting things off slow and slinky, moving through the funky gears, even sneaking in one of mine along the way. Show Ben some considerable love - https://www.instagram.com/gmgndjs/ https://soundcloud.com/gmgndjs HOUR 1 TRACKLIST Even Funkier - Shiny Love Life O'Bryan - I'm Freaky Shook - Hotline Even Funkier - Mariah's Booty Spookey - Friends (sddp) edit) Reel People, Angie Stone - Don't Stop The Music (Art Of Tones Modern Disco Mix) Change - Love 4 Love Average White Band - A Love of Your Own (Juan Chousa & Kanike Remix) I Gemin - Private Life HDC - I got the groove (DiCE_NZ's Stole Tha Groove Rmx) FF Edits - Sweet Lovin (Quick Edit) Manzel - Space Funk Risk Assessment, Sebb Junior - Hurt Me (Sebb Junior Club Mix) Tony Humphries - Work Is Work (Her Wet Shoes TV) Soulmain - Bailoteo Bosq & Kaleta - Meji Meji Apparel Wax - MINI002A Dayton - Krackity-Krack Herb Alpert - Rise Pastor T.L.

My hour in this episode was mostly made up of stuff I've recently downloaded. I love these episodes because you never know where they're going to go next, and there were plenty of twists and turns as I flipped through the genres and gradually cranked up the pace. Hour two was a high energy affair, with a mighty fine guest mix from Matthew Marshall, AKA Marshall (UK). Matt brought us some high grade disco, french touch and jackin' for an hour of big, bold and tasty beats. Show Marshall some love if you will - https://soundcloud.com/marshall2017 https://www.instagram.com/marshall_uk_black_riot_records/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Afrodesia - Desert Storm 2 XL Middleton - Love When It Comes Down To It 3 Parliament - Unfunky UFO 4 Those Guys From Athens - Human 5 Even Funkier - Touch My Bumper 6 Moon B - Anything 7 Crackazat - Do You Think About Me 8 Alex Blex - Nice move, Peter- (Yuksek Remix) 9 Saucy Lady - Why 10 Lord Funk - Sexy Body 11 Rudi'Kastic - Mama Said 12 Nebraska, Part 1 - A Weekend On My Own (Time Has Come (Part 1)) 13 Polo & Pan X Red Axes - Mumia (Polo & Pan Remix) 14 Manuel Kane, Mo-Cream - Nightvision (Mo-Cream Remix) 15 T-Markakis, Demarkus Lewis - The Record (Demarkus Lewis Remix) 16 Tom Jones - Venus (Sam Shelley Funky Breaks Edit) 17 Sunlightsquare, Atjazz - Oyelo (Atjazz Love Soul Remix) 18 Risk Assessment, Sebb Junior - Hurt Me (Sebb Junior Club Mix) 19 Luis Radio - Reaching Out 20 Roy Of The Ravers - Emotinium MARSHALL (UK) GUEST MIX Marshall (UK)'s Guest Mix (Even Funkier Radio Show) Nov 2023 T.Markakis & Drago - Darkest Hours (Large Music) Dave Leatherman, Bruce Nolan & HP Vince - Loads Of Love (2nd Time Around) Dim Zach - Touch Me (Electric Friends Music) Magnolia Ft Elliot Chapman - Deep Inside My Soul (Disco Express) Ten City - That's The Way Love Is (Soul Avengerz Extended Mix)(Ultra Records) Dave Kurtis - Bang In You (Original Mix)(Tasty Recordings) Vaudafunk - Promenade (Frappé Records) Light Boy - Step Back (Untidy Trax) Moon Rocket, Corrado Rizza, Black Connection - Give Me Rhythm (Full Mix Extended)(Moon Rocket Music) Kano - I'm Ready (Mousse T's Extended Club Remix)(Fulltime Production) Da Lukas & Suki Soul - Ain't Coming Down (Midnight Riot)

Excuse a couple of technical gremlins in the first bit of this show, happens to the best of us. Anyway, once I got the mic sorted I was up and running with a slightly rebranded show - now called Funkier Sounds. I was all over the place in my bit of the show, covering obscure disco, red hot edits, soulful house, weird funky bits, and since our guest mix this time was only 45 mins I used my extra 15 mins to simmer down with some divine slow jams. The guest mix was totally worth waiting for though, as I was lucky enough to bring you a mix from one of the best DJs in London at the moment, Sarahtonin. I've seen Sarah a couple of times warming things up expertly for Low Life, and I'll be seeing her again on Saturday. Her mix was short but very sweet - starting with African vibes and working up through chugging, percussive rare disco and wonderful versions of slightly familiar tunes. Big thanks to Sarah - give her a big friendly follow please! https://soundcloud.com/sarahtonindj https://www.instagram.com/sarahtonin_dj/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 The Joubert Singers - Stand on the Word 2 Electric Soul - Here Come One 3 Soulkitchen Cookin' Crew - Space Princess 4 Tony Johns - Kocaine 5 Ronaldo Reseda - E Novamente Mas Que Nada (OOFT!

Just me on my own this time, as I didn't get anyone to do the guest mix in time. I was mixing live for the first hour, then I handed over to… well, myself, for a mix that I recorded a few weeks back for a competition. I didn't win, but I didn't want it to go unheard by the rest of the world so it seemed a good opportunity to get it out there. Lots of older music across both hours, but a new one from me as well in hour 1. Big thanks to me for an average guest mix! If you'd like to do a better job of a mix then please get in touch - I'm always on the lookout for talented, funky DJs!

I bloody enjoyed this episode! As usual I crammed in a few promos alongside the eclectic mix in hour 1. In a departure from my usual ways, I slowed things right down in the last 15 mins… to make way for my guest this fortnight, J-Felix, who started his guest mix with a generous slab of hip hop. I saw J-Felix DJ earlier this summer at a day festival in Crystal Palace Park which was headlined by Sister Sledge. I really enjoyed listening to his eclectic, funky selections in the sunshine, so decided to invite him on for a guest mix. He's put together a wonderful mix that would suit a sunny day. It's mostly hip hop, and that's just fine with me. But the pace picks up in the second half - still some hip hop flavours, but some boogie funk and the like too. A bit different to many of the guest mixes I've had on recently, but all the better for it. Don't forget to give J-Felix a follow on the usual platforms, and check out his project The Mint Experiment! https://soundcloud.com/j-felix https://www.instagram.com/jfelixmusicuk/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4C0wCCOXzZcOvdwdg4x8I4?si=Ouz6juhdTSKJfrUBycqUyQ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Los Danieles_Gallos de medianoche (Ilya Santana Balearic version) 2 Dee Edwards - Put Your Love On The Line (OOFT! 2021 Edit) 3 Young Pulse - Got To Be A Shame 4 The Fatback Band - I Found Love 5 Take Control (Demo) 6 Saltywax - Ride On 7 Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep (Sam Redmore Mix) 8 Crackazat - Fire Drift 9 Benjamin Long - African Summer 10 Gee Lane - Neon Beach 11 CHEWY RUBS - LOVE HILLS 12 Funkybeat - Never Go Back 13 Bauhouse - Make Me Feel So Good 14 Aretha Franklin - A Rose Is Still a Rose 15 Erykah Badu - Appletree 16 A.D.O.R. - One For The Trouble 17 112, Notorious Big - Only You 18 Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard

Back live on NDC for this episode after my holidays, and started off fast paced with my new vinyl release that's out on Moiss Music now. I soon slowed things back down for some slinky and funky grooves, then picked it back up to bring you brand new music from Discoholics Anonymous, Lisztomania… and an exclusive copy of the first ever edit from last fortnight's guest - The Funk Assassin! The second hour featured a guest mix from London based DJ Dan Cluskey, who has very kindly put together a lovely mix of disco and house vibes. Dan is a passionate music lover who I keep bumping intoin places like Sushi Samba and Gala Festival, and he's a bit of a Kerri Chandler superfan. Surprisingly there's no Kerri in this mix, but lots of smooth uptempo funky vibes from the likes of Dave Lee and Jamie 3:26. Dan's recently launched an event in London which is excellently named Disco Sauce - https://www.instagram.com/discosaucemusic/ Also give Dan a follow please - https://www.instagram.com/dancluskeydj/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Even Funkier - Dance With Your Feet 2 Daisuke Miyamoto - Lucifer 3 Harry Romero - Revolt (Extended Mix) 4 Sylvester - All I Need 5 Ben Jamin - Handle 6 James Brown - Talkin' Loud And Sayin' Nothing 7 Stevie Wonder - Sir Duke 8 Silk - Midnight Dancer 9 Laura Branigan - Self Control (The Funk Assassin's Out Of Control Edit) 10 Kokomo - Feelin' Good (SLY Edit) 11 Parliament - Getten' To Know You (Young Pulse Retouch) 12 Fray Bentos - Dance 4 Love [Discoholics Anonymous Recordings] 13 Jaegerossa - Richards Gear 14 Full Intention - Sky's the Limit 15 Justnique - Tinder_PN 16 Borka & The Gang - We Move 17 Mirko & Meex - Mine (Club Mix) 18 Joi N'Juno - Mamayeho (Extended Mix) DAN CLUSKEY GUEST MIX 1 Light Star (COEO Edit) COEO (Razor N Tape) 2 Give Me Your Love (Dave Lee Edit) - Luke Delite, Michelle Weeks, (The Disco Express) 3 I Appreciate (Disco Edit) - Nick The Record 4 Earl Montana - Jamie 3:26, Danou P (3:26 Records) 5 Record Business - Tiptoes Tapes (SlothBoogie) 6 Century - DJ Meme (Big Love) 7 Remedy feat.

This one was a cheeky prerecord when it went out on NDC, as I was away on my holidays! Started things off pretty banging this time, then slowed down, then sped back up. A few new bits from me in there too. In the second hour I handed over proceedings to The Funk Assassin, who gives us a lovely funky mix featuring Cerrone, Alan Dixon, Folamour, Purple Disco Machine and more. Tasty vibes! Please show him some love as per usual guys - he has his own show called The Word Is Love, which is well worth a listen… https://soundcloud.com/thefunkassassin https://www.instagram.com/the_funk_assassin HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 The Mauskovic Dance Band - Down in the Basement 2 Even Funkier - if the music is good (Demo) 3 Justnique - This Feeling 4 Will Sonic - Distant Reflection 5 Even Funkier - Dance With Your Feet 6 Jamiroquai - Love Foolosophy 7 LS Movement Band - Move 8 Space Ranger - Galactic Spice 9 Psychic Mirrors - The Bells of Saint Christopher 10 Moloko - Fun for Me 11 Syrup - Connection 12 Fonzi Thornton - I'll Change My Game 13 Simplex Motive Feat.

Oooh, this episode was a fun one. For the first hour I started slow and picked up the pace in chunks, getting rather damn funky for a while. The second half hour was almost all new promos, with some rather delicious selections… but never going above 120BPM. In hour 2 I was thrilled to welcome Nova Funk back to the Funkier Radio controls. Nova Funk guested on my show a few years back under a different name, shortly after I recorded a mix for their series. That mix was one of the first guest mixes I ever did, and it meant a great deal to me back then. The Nova Funk mix series is still ongoing with occasional mixes, and well worth a listen as there are some brilliant, unique selectors in there. The consistent high quality makes it one of my favourite mix series to this day. This time Dan's treated us to some of his favourite Disco House selections. But not that big, brash, sometimes a bit stupid sort of disco house - these are refined cuts, true to the Nova Funk ethos of offering something a bit classy. But he still builds things up nicely into a mix that bangs in the last 20 minutes or so (with a lovely little surprise for me in the last track!). A wonderful addition to the Funkier Radio series! I highly recommend checking out Nova Funk if you haven't already done so… https://soundcloud.com/nova-funk https://www.instagram.com/nova_funkmusic/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Shirley Bassey - Light My Fire [The Reflex Revision] 2 The J.B.'s - Use Me (SLY Edit) 3 A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again 4 Cameo - I'll Be With You 5 78 Edits - Get Down Baby 6 Synthesiz - Serious Funk 7 E.

In the second hour of this fortnight's show it was my pleasure to welcome Jade Edwards, a talented young DJ from Liverpool. I met Jade recently when DJing up in Manchester for the Good Custard lads. Jade was on just before me and really impressed me with her tune selection, mixing skills and energy behind the decks. I just had to invite her on for a mix, and we're treated to a fantastic hour of high energy belters. Huge thanks to Jade, be sure to show her some love! https://soundcloud.com/jade-edwardss https://www.instagram.com/jadedwards.dj/ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Jank - Comes Back In The Room 2 DJ Laurel - Hang On 3 Fingerman - Burnin' Sanders 4 George Clinton - Knee Deep (Deep As A Mutha Funker remix) 5 Times Square - You're Hot 6 James Brown - People Get Up & Drive Your Funky Soul (SLY Edit) 7 Ben Jamin - Extra Extra 8 Loose Ends - A Little Spice 9 Eboni Band - Sing a Happy Song (Shake It Down) 10 Felipe Avelar - Funky Lowdown 11 Chewy Rubs - Get Going 12 Pete Whiteley - Maybe 13 The Players Association - Turn The Music Up! 14 Brooklyn Baby, Shortcut - Let your Body Move 15 Ben & Sadar - Electronic Frequencies 16 Scruscru - Fiesta 24/7 17 Dan Be, Bernardo Mota - Makes Me Happy

I was pleased to be able to drop a few of my newly finished, as yet unsigned creations in this show, been a bit of a quiet patch on the production front for a while so it's nice to get some stuff finished at last. Widely changing BPMs once again in my hour, plus a little technical hitch near the end that I partially edited out. My guest for the second hour was DJ E9. E9 is a versatile producer and DJ based in Frankfurt, Germany. He is resident at several radio stations across UK and Europe, playing Funky, Jazzy, and Deep House, and his latest release hit the Beatport Top 100 Melodic House Charts earlier this year. Stephan has treated us to a ‘Gnarly House' special, full of pumping tunes and housey reworks of familiar tunes.

Between me and my guest we covered a pleasing 42 tracks in two hours on this episode, with 20 quick fire bangers from me in the first 60 minutes - leaning heavily on some stuff I've downloaded very recently but spanning the ages as usual. My guest this time comes from Rotterdam. Lenzz is a Dutch DJ who has his own long-running show Lenzzie's Nu-Grooves. He's been a frequent supporter of my tracks - something that I'm really grateful for. And what's more he's really impressed me with his recent guest mix appearances on other shows I like such as Feel Good Fridays, Disco Waltons Sunday Service and Spin City. He also happens to be a lovely guy who I had the pleasure of meeting at ADE last year. So I just had to invite him on the show, and he's impressed once again with a whirlwind selection of no fewer than 22 very fine funky tunes, including a couple of mine and an edit from him! This one's a real treat. Show Lenzz some love and check out his show - https://soundcloud.com/lenzz HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Blondie - Rapture (Luxxury Edit) 2 Planet Jumper - This Could Always Be the End of Things 3 Chuck Brown - Funky Stuff (SLY Edit) 4 Luxar - Found A Way 5 Even Funkier - So Precious 6 One Way - Cutie Pie Album Version 7 Phil Gerus - Don't You Know I Need You 8 Greg Phillinganes - Only You 9 Francky Vincent - Déconstipation 10 Woolfy - AEROPLANE (Dub Dub Mix) 11 JKriv - JKriv - Barefoot Boogie 12 Jack Matter - Peanut Butter 13 Delfonic - Hanging Tough 14 Grey And Hanks - Dancin' (Joshua Mooney Edit) 15 Chewy Rubs & North Laine - Games In The Street 16 Brooklyn Baby, Shortcut - Let your Body Move 17 HP Vince - Hey Boy Hey Girl 18 Small Talk - Loves The Way 19 Frits Wentink - Double Man 20 Ben Banjo Field - The Church Of Funk LENZZ GUEST MIX Brother Julian - Kay Watt Javaroo - Javaroo (LNG Edit) Kermit - The Funker Mijangos (Disco Incorporated Remix) Jo Paciello - The Big Sun (DanRos Remix) Luis Radio - Unity De La Soul - Ring Ring Ring (Sebb Junior Edit) Punky Wash - Jolies Songes Mothers Favorite Child - Purple Funk (Opolopo Remix) Akeem Raphael - Funky Prince Solazz - Lover's Boogie (Even Funkier Remix) Q-Burn's Abstract Message - Mess of Afros (Glenn Underground Remix) Le Babar - Good Time Tonight (Rafael Yapudjian, Herbert Medeiros Extended Remix) Lego Edit - P-Man Sourires - Pampasosa (De Gama Re-Groove) Big Moses - Brighter Days (Jerome Sydenham Remix) Even Funkier - Dance Off, Bro Melchyor A - Get It (Melchyor A's Touch Version) Nadyne Rush - Scratchy (Musta Remix) Angelos - Cuba Libre (Mijangos Afro Latino Remix) Musta - El matador Matalo! - Abeja Shit Hot Soundsystem - Woah (Da Gama Re-Built)

The usual mix of oldies and newsies in the first hour, working up to some new bits that have found their way into my collection. No chat this week due to technical issues, so none of my voice ruining the excellent tracks for once. It was my pleasure to hand things over to Lyle Sutherland for the second hour. Lyle is, like myself, on the line up for Westival later this summer, and it's going to be excellent! I'm truly excited to be a small part of what really does look like an amazing little festival with a whole load of top talent. I strongly suggest checking it out and maybe grabbing a ticket - https://www.westival.wales/. Lyle's put together an excellent mix for us, lots of nice, funky sounds drawing on some eclectic sources. Please show him some love! https://soundcloud.com/sutherland1995 HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Maribou State featuring Holly Walker - Midas 2 ClubDisco - Jaboatao 3 Dexter Wansel - Life On Mars 4 Brother To Brother - Chance With You (Pete Le Freq Refreq) 5 Tina Winson - Pacific Dream (Boogietraxx Summer Bug Edit) 6 Jehan - Pop Corn 7 Future (Are We Living-) feat.
