Oooh, this episode was a fun one. For the first hour I started slow and picked up the pace in chunks, getting rather damn funky for a while. The second half hour was almost all new promos, with some rather delicious selections… but never going above 120BPM. 

In hour 2 I was thrilled to welcome Nova Funk back to the Funkier Radio controls. Nova Funk guested on my show a few years back under a different name, shortly after I recorded a mix for their series. That mix was one of the first guest mixes I ever did, and it meant a great deal to me back then. The Nova Funk mix series is still ongoing with occasional mixes, and well worth a listen as there are some brilliant, unique selectors in there. The consistent high quality makes it one of my favourite mix series to this day. 

This time Dan’s treated us to some of his favourite Disco House selections. But not that big, brash, sometimes a bit stupid sort of disco house - these are refined cuts, true to the Nova Funk ethos of offering something a bit classy. But he still builds things up nicely into a mix that bangs in the last 20 minutes or so (with a lovely little surprise for me in the last track!). A wonderful addition to the Funkier Radio series!

I highly recommend checking out Nova Funk if you haven’t already done so…

...das letzte Set für die Soffie     ---    I MISS U

- Music Producer / Brighton UK. - 

‘I’ve ingested many genres of music and invested many hours over the years and now spend most of my time either re-working some of my favourite records or making my own. I’ve had the pleasure of working with so great people, I’ve had my hands on some nice kit, and along the way I've tried to tune my knowledge and increase my love and understanding of sound and music while embracing it’s ever advancing state and infinite possibilities.  Again, I’m fortunate enough to have some amazing people around me to work with and I look forward to all the hours that come! 

Many thanks to all those that have landed here - Ian’
