60 minutes of my current favorite NU Disco and Funky House tracks

Spring Forward

Saturday afternoon session with some classic house tracks

Y2K era San Francisco bay area nostalgia  

This sparks joy

LUXURIOUS

Recorded live at the Condado Ocean Club in San Juan, Puerto Rico in celebration of my wife - along with her squad, the Foxy Five - birthdays.

FOXY FIVE

Randomly discovered a folder of Breakz tracks I had completely forgotten about, and then it occurred to me that it has been a *very* long time since I posted a new Breakz mix

Besides, who doesn't love summertime breakbeats?

Enjoy

Summer Breakz

This is some of the lingua franca 
of the funk business
And people come 
from miles around
With an almost religious devotion 
to 
get 
on 
down

Sunny Season Nu Funk

Recorded January 2010 at Rumblemunk Studios. I know this because it was written on the CD sleeve; shout out to Christoph for his thorough documentation. 

I like this mix because its fairly accurate representation of the style and vibe of this time. This was an exclusive mix for a popular DJ website at the time, and the project had a very tight deadline (or maybe I had procrastinated too long?) So, no time to overthink the playlist sequence, just hit record and go for it. After a gentle reminder of the impending due date, I went to the studio that evening and got it on the first take.

Fast It Backwards Vol 1

Hey ya know what? I love Drum & Bass, and think it's high time for a proper Atmospheric Jump Up Liquid Drum & Bass rinse out. So, here's a mix for you all. Please Enjoy! 

Liquid Tension Experience

Hello and welcome to the next edition of the Fast It Backwards series. This was recorded between That Thing In The Desert and the Love Parade in San Francisco. And, I believe, is an all vinyl mix. It still blows my mind that we used to take vinyl out to the desert. Crazy times, indeed...

Fast It Backwards vol 2

Inspired by this years Breakfast Of Champions, this is a set of fresh new Breakz tracks 

Lucky Breakz

This was recorded live at Shine in San Francisco in the late mid aughts, and yes this is an all vinyl mix. As this event was a cordial and convivial celebration for the 3 year anniversary of their monthly "FIX" party; and keeping in mind I was slotted deeper in the line up; the mixing is kinda loose. The wobbles and warbles are apart of vinyl beat matching and I feel like I'm making a lot of excuses. The imperfections give an authentic sound to the mix. 

Enjoy

Fast It Backwards - volume 3 (recorded live)

Hello and welcome to my latest Nu Funk mix! It's serving day party vibes, it's sunsets, it's summertime, it's blissed out golden haze. And it's hella funky. Enjoy! 

Fixed Gear Funk

Recording live at the Nu Funk Boutique last year some time.  I wanna say April?  May?  I dunno.  It is a live recording so it's got a few volume swings.  Which is part of the fun...

Live from the Nu Funk Boutique

Just discovered this mix buried in a mislabeled folder on a storage drive from a long time ago.  Like the others, it's all an all vinyl mix.  I don't think this got much distribution when it was first recorded, so I thought it should get posted here.  Enjoy...

The Lost Sessions

Industrie Funkatronique

"His DNA is a blueprint for a modern day Archangel..."

Rising out of the 90's Drum 'n Bass scene in San Francisco, Smoove quickly became a fixture on the underground Breakz circuit in 2001 DJ'ing with Space Cowboys and their mighty Unimog. These days his signature power-funk Breakz sound can be heard every weekend all over San Francisco's night life, from underground warehouse parties to his residencies at The End Up, 1015 and Mighty. All his hard work in the night club trenches has earned him membership in nitevibe.com's DJ Dream Team since 2004 and was voted Best DJ 2008 by the readers of the S.F. Bay Guardian in their annual "Best of the Bay" issue. Taking his sound to the airwaves, Smoove has been featured on XM Satellite Radio’s Thump Funk show (XM 80) as well as Below Zero on Energy 92.7 and was a frequent guest on Future Breaks on KUSF. Currently, he can be heard on Fog City Funk every Wednesday night at 8pm PST on Nu Skool Breaks Radio (nsbradio.co.uk) In 2004 he, along with Donna Matrix, started publishing the underground magazine NewsBreakz and more recently launched NBz 2.0 (newsbreakz.com) the on-line version in late 2008. Simply put, Smoove is one of the quintessential taste makers in the San Francisco Breakz scene today and can always be relied on to bring a big party fun sound that makes the crowd go giddy on the dance floor.
