DJ'ed in clubs, pubs & outdoor events from breakbeat, old school house to my passion hip hop for 21 years. DJ'ed mostly where I am from in Newcastle, UK and a resident in a club "Hollywoods" in Germany (Most week nights and every weekend) whilst serving in the British Army. Moved to the States and ended up selling my entire vinyl collection ..........Gutter !!!! I have save mixes from then and mess around on Serato now. I have just recently started buying vinyl again, it will be tough to get what I had back then, especially the original pressings and there is nothing much better than putting on a record, listening to the static and the track starts, taking you back to that memory !!

Like any other old school DJ, coming from the UK and trying to grasp that emotion from the days of Kool Herc playing vinyl and mixing them together, creating a party atmosphere in the Bronx with his house parties, as well as Bambaataa, Flash, Caz, Jazzy Jay, Mario the disco king who started this whole culture due to the struggles that emerged through the Bronx (The home of Hip Hop)

I know that music plays a huge part in most peoples lives and not realize it, It is everywhere you go, there is a rhythm in all elements of your surroundings. I am open to all genre's of music with the exception of country, it takes a certain person to enjoy that sound. Music is the link to almost everything in my opinion and experience, I think that it should be a therapeutic approach to today's problems, everyone has their different issue's and it is a lot harder to cope with today's society on top of normal, everyday living. We all need to help the next person, regardless of the issue's they are having.

That is why I think music, used in the proper sense of selection, frequencies, genre, lyrics, samples, beat, rhythm. Today's mainstream music is hurting the people who are passionate about what music can do for you and using it to help, It can be damaging and that all started when digital streaming exploded, lyrics can be used to voice an opinion, samples can be used for any track, A beat is the rhythm to the soul and the universe. There is a lot to learn for everyone, we all have our own ability towards the composition of music, from a simple drum loop, a simple mix to a full E.P.

I think applying other people's needs for a safe place, torment, mockery, abuse in any shape or form. I have witnessed music to be damaging, that is the power of music.

**Check out the large diverse "Best of" playlists under the playlist tab!!**

*Specialized in Funky House & Tech House production 

*FlexdeFunk DJ Project includes DJ sets in the following genre's: Electro House, Funky House, Breakbeat & Funk, Trip Hop/Downtempo | Also check "best of" playlists which are being updated consistently. 

*UPDATE: FlexdeFunk ended production and DJ sets in the summer of 2013. The conclusion was reached for several reasons including the general direction of the electronic music scene, the "Funk" genre losing popularity and the fact that there are many funk themed DJ's and producers still abundant to keep the genre alive (check artists like The Basement Freaks, The Funk Hunters, DJ Slynk, Funkanomics, Stickybuds, Featurecast, A-Skillz, DJ Czech, DJ Dan, Ski Tour, Krafty Kuts, Trotter, etc.) and Flex moving onto other goals in life including the creation of a podcast which will be named "Understanding Perception". This podcast should be launched in 2024.

Flex thanks all for the support received over the years from around the world over the last decade. Flex will still update soundcloud with some of the best Funk-themed artists around so feel free to keep updated on the latest by checking this page (see playlists).

Biography:

FlexdeFunk (N Beers) completed his first full studio in 2004. Within a year he released "Just Arriving" a two-disc compilation created for private release only (released in July 2005).  The double-disc release included 28 tracks with genres ranging from House, Breaks to Trip Hop.

From there Flex decided to release singles on various international labels. In 2007 Flex signed to Gene Poole Music (Germany) for his 1st vinyl/mp3 release. It was welcomed into the breaks community, charting on over 4 breakbeat charts within a week.  Soon after FlexdeFunk signed onto Egypt's Purple Edge Records, the UK's New Era Recordings, Shiva Records, Moxi Records, & Canada's JG Records.

Since then Flex has focused on House production and recording the FlexdeFunk DJ Project. This is a massive project to celebrate '10 years of mixing' for FlexdeFunk. The project includes OVER 20 MIXES of hand-picked tracks that Flex has collected over the last 7 years....the best of the best. Genre's will include - Funky House, Electro, Breaks, Funk & Trip Hop/Downtempo blends. The FlexdeFunk will be completed by the fall of 2013 and sets posted (for free download) as they are recorded.  All DJ sets available on www.soundcloud.com/flexdefunk & www.mixcloud.com/flexdefunk 

FlexdeFunk also held a residency @ Yorkville's Famous "Y Not Lounge" every Saturday night for 2 years (10pm-3am, 2008 & 2009) with music ranging from Funk, Breaks, Funky House, Tech House, Electro and Tribal House.  It was always a packed venue and FlexdeFunk was able to change the average "top 40's music fan" into a House music fan by the end of each night.
