Q Tip - Breathe & Stop (Dj XS Indigo Funk Edit)

Been uploading our back catalogue of mixes to the new 'Funky Vibes UK' channel and came across this bad boy that never saw the light of day after getting featured on the disco mix a while back.
My take on the classic from the awesome Hot Chocolate up for the download and ready to make it into your sets.

Don't forget we're slowly getting all the mixes over on our new channel with the edits on here so take time to check out our 'Funky Vibes UK' (https://soundcloud.com/fvuk) channel as it'll be getting all the new mixes from myself as well as all the fantastic guests we have lined up - Peace!

Hot Chocolate - Heaven Is In The Back Seat Of My Cadillac (Dj XS Back Seat Edit)

Big track for me over the last year or so obviously championed by Craig Charles amongst others, so thought it was high time I got it up for the  FREE WAV Download - https://hypeddit.com/link/z4nuum

Featured this on my new Summer Vibes Mix over on our Mixtape channel - https://soundcloud.com/fvuk/dj-xs-london-summer-vibes-mix-2018-part-1-head-noddin

Was looking to get some 90s vibes in on the mix as that era encapsulates the summer feeling more than most in my mind and as always wanted to add a few exclusives so ended up putting together this badboy full of 90s throwback warmth.

Obviously working over Andrew Weatherall's 90s anthem 'Loaded' as well as some vocals from the Jungle Brothers with a nod to the Urban Takeover version released back in '98.

Up for the Free DL for my Soundcloud peeps for a short time only so grab it whilst you can!

Jungle Brothers - True Blue (Dj XS Loaded Rework)

Everyone seems to be back into a bit of sax these days and lets face it, if you're pimping the sax, you gotta be pimping Maceo.

Couple of guaranteed party starters from Maceo, Fred Wesley & the gang. Actually managed to get this down from around 15 minutes at one point; been working for me on many a dancefloor for a few years now and thought it was time to share it with you lovely people.

11 minutes of funky fun - no super rare 1920s Peruvian trip hop on this one, just a couple of solid-well known party starters funked to the max by some of the greats of our time!

Also works well btw if you need a toilet break during a set!

Don't forget you can stay up to date with all my monthly mixes & the awesome guest mixes first over on our Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/funkyvibesuk

if those are you things. Peace XS!

Maceo Parker - Soul Power & Pass The Peas (Dj XS 'Eleven Minutes Of Fun' Edit)

I actually did this edit a few years ago for one of my online mixes and George Kelly has kindly given me  the green light to release it in connection with Chopshop Records 10th Birthday Celebration over the weekend.

Lots of freebies being released this weekend so keep your eyes peeled for the Chopshop Thumbnail pasted over Soundcloud and be sure to take a listen and see what funky offerings are available.

Chopshop Music celebrates a decade of music ! It was in 2009 when George Kelly AKA DJ Butcher released on vinyl 'Chopshop Music Volume 1' and set for a journey that this year reaches the milestone of 10 years. To celebrate, Chopshop gathered some of the finest artists to release a totally free compilation through soundcloud as a token of appreciation to all the fans and supporters of the label. Downloads can be found individually on each artist soundcloud page and later in full through a link via the Chopshop page. Artists Including Cordycep, DJ XS, Ronny Hammond, Dave Gerrard, S.Nolla, HP Vince, Vaudafunk, Tom Drummond, DJ Agent 86 and of course George Kelly.  Here is to Chopshop Music!

George Kelly - Satisfacton (Dj XS Wishful Edit)

Lots of requests for this one ever since I featured a version on my critically acclaimed 90s themed mix uploaded to Youtube back in July. Unfortunately I didn't win any awards for the mix or secure that elusive world tour so it's back to Soundcloud I'm afraid and all you lovely people.

Anyway, with it being the festive season and this being a bit of a party classic, thought I'd offer it up for the Free DL.

Awesome original of course, and lets face it, if you're not vibing on the Stereo MCs, Deelite & Skeelo then we're really going to have to stop meeting like this.

Have a great Christmas peeps - XS

Stereo MCs - Step Up (Dj XS Delightful Edit)

Few requests for this one after I featured it on one of my classic lockdown mixes earlier in the year of on the 'FVUK' Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96qCMDCNOIQ

Simple stuff, bit of re-drumming, tweaking and a chopping as you'd expect. Classic vibes in'it!

Dj XS - Gloria's Party (Funk Nuggets EP)

Definitely one of my favourite tracks of all time, famously sampled in another one of my favourite tracks of all time, 'Hey Mr. Dj' by Zhane.

Obviously a super well known track but I never really found a re-edit of this that I felt did it justice so finally got round to having a crack myself. 

Killer track, killer vibe, if you're not feeling this one then we can't be friend!

Out now as part of the 'Funk Nuggets EP' over on Bandcamp - Enjoy
