Slight re-tweak of the edit I did last november, added some vocals and edited the drum pattern slightly for a smoother edit. Hope you dig :)

Rhythm Makers - Monterey (DJ Blue Funk's 'Chemical Wash')

New music for a new year! Let's kick things off with a disco edit of the stellar funk/disco group L.T.D. Their cut "One On One" was the 1st cut on their fabulous disco album "Devotion" from 1979, but did not get a single release. I edited it in the vein of the classic disco era 12" edit and then created a shorter edit for the also customary 7" pressings made at the time. I hope y'all dig! Share, comment, like, and follow if you enjoy it! More music coming soon. Cheers, DJ Blue Funk.

One On One (DJ Blue Funk Disco Double Break 12" Edit)

Very excited to share this new remix I did with you! I got soul, but more so, I got the funk, so I re-themed this classic hip hop tune with the funk. Hope ya dig! Comment, like, repost, and follow :)

Edit: balanced L & R channels.

Eric B & Rakim - I Know You Got Soul (DJ Blue Funk 'I Got The Funk' Remix)

Van McCoy, the great disco producer, who swept the nation by storm with his hit single "the Hustle," made many great disco tracks... "Change with the Times" has an amazing drum break and instrumental breaks, so I chopped them up, boosted up the bass and extended out the intro so you can ride out the groove... Enjoy!

Van McCoy - Change With The Times (DJ Blue Funk Extended Groove)

As an aficionado of hip-hop, jazz, funk, and vinyl, I like to bring to you great tracks that comprise many of the elements that make up the distinct sound... the sound of the golden era. This funky yet pensive little break comes from Donald Byrd's highly acclaimed first jazz funk album... Enjoy! Share, like, repost, & comment!

More breaks coming soon... These Are The Breaks! 

Donald Byrd - Love's So Far Away (DJ Blue Funk's "Bluesy Break")

Featured on Maiden Voyage Radio show by DJ Mr. Lob @mr-lob

One of those lovely tracks I found through a hip hop track, the classic 87 tune: "I Know You Got Soul" by Eric B & Rakim. I felt this could use some extra DJ love, so I extended the groove in my somewhat usual manner. Hope you dig! Give it a like/repost!

I had to add samples onto the drums loops: if any DJs want the version without, please PM me.

You'll Like It Too (DJ Blue Funk's Extended Groove)

An edit of a moving track by United Future Organization. I focused on the beautiful rhodes and pensive feel of the track, adding in 1 verse of the song & filling the rest out with the instrumental. Rainy day, late night, chill out music. Let it move you and put you in touch with your soul. Peace. 

Nemurenai ("Tears On My Rhodes" Edit)

A little edit of a break heavy doobie track. This is my first rock edit, hope you dig. Share, comments, and likes are appreciated!

Jesus Is My Friend (DJ Blue Funk Edit)

Haven't done an edit in a really long time, but was really diggin this KC tune, so I gave it an extended intro & outro, added a rap break by the DPs, and extended some instrumental portions for a nice extended version of this wonderful sunny tune! Spread the love! Peace.

Ain't Nothin' Wrong (DJ Blue Funk's "Bugged Out" Edit)

Captain Johnny Hammond is at the keys and he is ready to take you outta-this-world with some spacey jazz funk... Cooked up with love and added space age goodness courtesy of the NASA soundcloud page @NASA.

Please leave a comment, repost, like if you dig! Cheers.

Countdown (DJ Blue Funk 'Outa-Space' Edit)

Rest in Beats Phife Dawg, we'll miss you. This is my small sombre tribute to you.

Stressed Out (Blue Funk "RIP Phife Dawg" Remix)

A true prime cut from the fantastic afro-cuban-funk band Mandrill. I worked very hard to get a proper rub of many of the elements comprising the JBs track "Straight Out The Jungle." Starting off with the classic breakbeat, the perfect scratch intro, the DJ'd bridge, and of course the fantastic bass, guitar, and horn riff from non other than Mandrill. 

I had to pitch up the version significantly for demo-purposes, so head on over to hearthis for the original version. Also, if any DJs want a copy, please contact me.

Cheers, funk, and blessings.

Original Version

Mango Meat (Imported Straight Out the Jungle)

First batch of edits from this summer are 2 stompin' disco joints, reconstructed & chopped for extra grooviness. First of the two is a dance classic that grooves with a funky keys-lick & a ferocious bass-breakdown that has been packin' the floors for years. While the music is splendid, I wanted a version with different vocals, so I took on the duty myself of creating a new version that will hopefully light up some dancefloors! The second tune is a recent, rather obscure find off of a TK subsidiary. This tune packs a big punch with a funky bass-line & some delicious percussion work, another big groove to boot. Unfortunately no great recordings were available (even the remaster) so I had to do with what I had. Cleaned it up the best I could, and chopped it up for maximum enjoyment! Hope you dig all the sounds coming your way. Thanks for the support.  

Never Stoppin' (Extended Club Edit)

I've been really enjoying this group lately as they have a nice afro-funk feel to their wide variety of covers & originals. This tune is something near and dear to my heart as one of the first funk pieces I heard & loved, and I think they did a fabulous job covering it! I love breaks, so I chopped the tune up a little & gave those drums some extra shine. Go give them a like over at https://soundcloud.com/funkallisto. cheers!

"It's all good baby-baby!" One of the crown jewels of golden era hip hop, the ultimate feel good summer jam of juicy, gets a dj blue funk disco treatment... I stumble upon the piano loop two years ago after finding a 45 of Andrea True Connection's "more more more" in a free record bin. I knew it would serve as a great base for an uptempo, feel good hip hop jam, so I thought Juicy would be a good choice for the vocals. Looped up some drums & grabbed the trumpet part as the bridge, a nod to the Herb Alpert sample in "Hypnotize." The sample source is a somewhat sleazy tune that I don't much care for, but staying true to the hip-hop idiom of "making something out a nothing," I found gold & flipped it into this jam. Hope you enjoy, "and if you don't know, now you know!"

A multi-track re-edit of Italian funk group @Funkallisto's "Saturday Night Dogs," the title track from their latest album. The original was a big album opener, so I took the editing duties to make it playable either as an opener or in the middle of a DJ set & created an alternate breakdown emphasizing the dirty bass groove & irresistible percussion pattern. Free DL for promo use, please go follow the group & buy their music!

Trio Ternura have been blowing up lately in the rare-groove / reissue scene with their classic "A Gira," but their catalog is filled with great tunes. Take this percussive jam, the title which translates to "I want to live in your smile." A celebratory ode to life, originally clocking in under 3 minutes was begging for an extension, so I chopped up the best bits & gave the track more room to breathe. Check out the upcoming release of the original on 45 by @mrbongo backed by Eliana Pittman's "Quem Vai Querer." PM me if you'd like a copy for your radio shows, mixtapes or DJ sets! Cheers.

Trio Ternura - Vou Morar No Teu Sórrisó (DJ Blue Funk Edit)

"Listen you all, we gonna tell you something you never heard before... the world Is yours & we gonna put it together."

Spanning 20 years from 1974 to 1994, from Rio de Janeiro to the Bronx, the timeless messages of Tim Maia & Nas combine for a storming track, inspiring everyone to carve out their own path & create a better world. Combining elements from the now classic "Racional Culture" & "The World Is Yours," this remix combines the best elements, with some extra drums added for maximum punch. If you dig the sounds, please consider passing it along to a friend & dropping me a comment!

Thanks! Peace, love, funk & soul: DJ Blue Funk

Nas - The World Is Yours (Rational Remix feat. Tim Maia)

A little mash up that came together while listening to Keep It Unreal by Mr. Scruff. Found the remix to Jazz (we've got) goes nicely over this classic late 90s trip hop production. Ruff ruff rugged!
