FUNK RIGHT OFF

work playlist

December 2022

5 years ago I decided to put together a mix of chilled beats & laidback grooves, I had no idea it would be so well received. After careful planning, selections & timing I decided it was time to compile another volume in the series. The first mix was one of my favourite mixes, combining all the music I love listening to old & new. With volume 2 I wanted to keep the magic of the first one.. Laidback kick & enjoy the vibe of Eclectic Relaxation Volume 2.

Eclectic Relaxation Volume 2 Mixtape

Here is my 'Trunk of Funk' mix and interview that I was invited to do from the Funk & Soul national treasure and hardest working man in showbiz - Craig Charles for his Saturday Night Funk and Soul show on BBC6 Music.
It went out at the end of January 2022 and features a few of my favourite producers and friends in the music world including Mighty Mouse, Shaka Loves You and Young Pulse. My own track 'Jimmy's Groove' is also featured in the mix which is now available to download from Bandcamp.

Sweet Harmony

Liquid 'Sweet Harmony' (Kry Wolf remix) Annie Mac BBC Radio 1 premiere

The next instalment of my Golden Era Podcast series is here, Including an interview with Legendary British Funk act Cymande. These are Funk tracks from the 60's - 70's which are my personal favourites and inspired me to do what I do today. Funk is a style, genre a way of life that has been the biggest influence in my career. In this mix it takes in everything that I love about how Funk can be Latin, Jazz, Folk, Rock but if it's Funky then it can fit under that bracket !!

A Golden Era Of Funk Podcast

So after months of careful preparation and hours of digging I bring to you the final instalment of my Golden Era Hip Hop series Vol 3. This mix I spent longer on and rather than give you interviews with legends of the scene I have delivered an extra 15 minutes of classics. It has been one of my favorite pieces of work compiling these mixes and no expense is spared into finding all those hidden gems. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did compiling my own personal favourites 🙏

Golden Era Of Hip Hop Vol.3 Podcast

For this mix I wanted to give everyone a little look into music from all genres that has been a major part of my life since the day I played my first record. Making DJ mixes is something I don’t take lightly, this mix once again took the best part of 3/4 months to put together and I loved every minute. Taking influences from Disco, Hip Hop, Funk, Breaks, Acid Jazz & House I wanted to showcase a taste of the incredible tunes that have made me love the Funky side of Things !!!

Funky Side Of Things Vol.1

James Brown for me is the biggest influence in my career!
The first record I ever owned was A James Brown 7”  on People Records "Breakin Bread".

I started collecting all things James Brown related and simply became obsessed with the JB groove. He really was an incredible character but unfortunately passed away in 2006 on Christmas Day, so I felt this was the perfect time to pay tribute to the Godfather of Soul & Funk. This mix encompasses a mixture of James Brown and his Funky People: Fred Wesley, Marva Whitney, Lyn Collins, Hank Ballard, Maceo Parker, The JB’s and more. Without doubt the hardest working man in show business, he toured the world constantly with his band and dancers, performed to millions bringing the Funk to the masses. Who would think back in the 60’s & 70’s that his music would be sampled and be the backbone of Hip Hop,music. The influence his music has had on so many peoples lives is extraordinary and without James Brown and his Funky people I don’t think Hip Hop and even Dance music would be the same. Thank you James RIP the original Funk Soul Brother!

A Tribute To James Brown Podcast Vol. 1
