Soul Searchers - We The People  (UF's DJ Edit)

Dj Spinna - Rock

Back in September 2007, Freestyle Records released ´Black Feeling´ an album project brought to life by Australian musical supremo Lance Ferguson (The Bamboos, Cookin´ On 3 Burners, Lanu) 

Each track was presented under a pseudonym to give the impression of an album you would find whilst digging in a Caribbean record shop or American thrift store. As a collection of reworked classics, the album set dance floors alight across the world, indeed, the single ´Hippy Skippy Moon Strut´ by The Mighty Show-Stoppers became a huge selling 12 inch, and also notched up well over 350,000 individual viewings on You Tube to date!

Now in 2011, Freestyle Records is pleased as punch to be releasing this teaser 45 single that features 2 cuts from the forthcoming follow up album ´Black Feeling: Volume Two´ (FSRCD/LP090) and what total corkers they are too!

The A side is Lance & Co´s fantastic reworking of the anthemic ´Burning Spear´ under the moniker of The Poly-Tones, an intense and driving piece of soulful funk, and what could possibly equal that for the flip side? The Mighty Show-Stoppers giving Johnnie Pate´s blaxploitation soundtrack classic ´Shaft In Africa´ such a convincing and wonderful re-working, you will think you are back in time, on the film set whilst Richard Roundtree (that's John Shaft to you sucker!) kicks some serious ass!

The Mighty Show-Stoppers - Shaft In Africa

Here few "Gentle Reedit".
You may find them quite similar to the original versions, because my only goal was to make them easier for me to play during gigs, with an outro beat replacing the 
fade-out ending typical in this kind of music.
Sometimes, these edits can be quite simple to make, but other times, they can easily become a headache when the original song does not include all the elements necessary for the edited version. 
In some cases, I had to reconstruct the beat, using sounds and effect from software.
I also worked on the tempos of the old songs to make the beat more regular, but I always tried to make these changes as gentle as possible, as if the song has been recorded that way.

BROWNOUT - African Battle

Untitled No.1 Ver2 (Free2)

Nothing special with this one, just extended the intro break, added a couple of extra mid sections between verses and generally beefed it up a bit for the dancefloor.

Free download, enjoy!

Johnny Bristol - Lusty Lady (Margaret Scratcher's Extra Lusty Edit)

This is one heavy slab of dirty funk.

The a-side is an absolute BRASS monster of a track titled "Harrow."  A cut that gallops from the first hits of the snare drum to the blaring sounds of horns, ultimately making our aural universe a better place.  The b-side, titled "Nautilus (Hijacked)," is an instrumental cover of sorts, containing recreated hooks from "Nautilus" (Bob James) and "Hijack" (Enoch Light), which were famously sampled by Slick Rick (Children's Story) and The Beatnuts (Watch Out Now) among others.  

BAND INFO:  This is the second 45 on the Kept Records label by Breakdown Brass, young veterans of Brooklyn’s soul and funk scene — its members tour and record with Antibalas, Sharon Jones & the Dap‐Kings,Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, Monophonics, Ikebe Shakedown, Slavic Soul Party & many others

K. Sabroso - Revenge Is A Dish Best Served Funky (Fleg Remix)

"The pirate radios were broadcasted by DJ's who are risking a lot.
If a station gets raided by the authorities, its dj can face up to six months in jail.
Worse, he could have his records confiscated."

"LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE" p.515


I use Soundcloud to show my skills as a Dj/Remixer.
Jazz/Soul/Funk/Bresilian/Disco... It can be anything as long as there is groove and soul.
I usually open the download for 24 hours when I put a new edit and do some "special days" with all the downloads open, so you should follow me on Facebook (Florent F Musik) and Twitter (djflorentf) to be informed.
If you are the artist of one of the song and you feel that your music shouldn't be here, just let me know and I will remove it.
