I recorded this episode live at the end of one of the hottest days of all time here in London, so it only seemed right to start off with some sultry summer bubblers. Instead of the usual jumping around the BPMs i started very slowly and worked my way up steadily, so we went from a smooth and hazy chug to something a bit more lively by the end of the hour. Bit less heavy on the promos this time as I was focussing on summery tracks, plus some stuff I actually paid for recently. It was a really fun mix that ended up flowing pretty well, despite me almost melting whilst standing at the decks. Us Brits aren’t built for this heat! 

For the second hour I was very excited to hand over to one of my favourite DJs, Briak from France. Every mix I’ve heard from Briak has been a masterclass in track selection and mixing, and this one’s no different. There are no fewer than 24 brilliant tracks crammed into this hour long mix, with global and afro inspired rhythms, many shades of disco, some housier stuff, all blended together perfectly into one sublime journey. It’s such a good mix, honestly one of my favourites so far on the show. 

Briak is also a very talented producer and a very nice man! Make sure check out his Soundcloud and show him some considerable love -

Funkier Radio Episode 86 - Briak Guest Mix

This week's special guest is Goozer, a talented DJ who has been a keen follower of the show in recent months. He always plays a lovely uplifting set, and is the perfect vibe for my show ;-)

** GOOZER BIO **
Goozer first fell in love with the house music scene back in the mid '90s as a teenager when his older brother brought home 2 cassettes for me to listen to. The first one was Ministry Of Sound - Sessions 5 by The Masters At Work and the second was Kerri Chandler's Mix The Vibe 'Chaos On King Street'. He was blown away by all of these new songs and artists that he'd never heard before and instantly wanted to know more about this genre of music.

He was quickly introduced to the likes of Tony Humphries, Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Joey Negro, DJ Spen, Todd Terry, Larry Levan, Blaze, CJ Mackintosh Etc. and never looked back.

He bought my first set of Technics 1210's at the age of 16 and built up huge vinyl collection where he would create mix tapes for his friends. A few years later he started DJ'ing in a few bars and clubs all around the Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham area as well as doing boat parties up and down the River Wear.



The Technics and Vinyl collection have now sadly gone, and he is mixing digitally.  He is prolific in recording DJ mixes, and you can find a huge number of quality sets via his soundcloud page

More recently he has been a guest DJ on Black Light Disco and The Disco Waltons Sunday Service

Fast and Furious(ish) Disco Mix

When I first heard Better by Nimino, I couldn’t stop listening.
There was something about that choir — emotional, deep and pure — that completely pulled me in.
I wanted to give it more space, more warmth, and turn it into something you can truly feel.

This is my take on Better — slow, melodic, and full of emotion.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I loved creating it.

— Rob Lee
