Title track taken from my debut album, Twin Stix. Also appears my debut Jalapeno release on vinyl., Swing Down EP

Twin Stix

The Getup are more than your average Hammond Funk outfit and this track proves it. A bubbling bass line kicks the track into a killer up tempo funk groove, having you reaching for the volume knob to crank it up as the first verse bursts out.  The track takes on a whole new dimension as the chorus reveals a four-on-the-floor solid dance groove, with Jamiroqui-esque tasty chord changes, and then the horns stab us back into the next verse.  A percussive, reverberant Hammond solo takes us into a drum break that is DJ and sampler's heaven, before the tunes rounds out with a double chorus and ends on more punchy stabs……. a midtempo vocal workout showcasing the sheer musicality of the band…….funk of the highest order!

This time around, Amerigo takes on James Brown in The Big Payback Vol lll. In the third and latest offering from "The Big Payback" summer mix series, the producer follows the exceptionally awesome first and second volumes from the legendary DJ Scratch and master craftsman, J. Period.  

Bringing together a fantasy league of all-stars for his "J.B. and The Soul Mates" tribute concept, the producer's latest offers an alternative to the sometimes uninspired, profit-driven, posthumously released albums. 

With guest appearances from Bob Marley, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Fela Kuti, The Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and more, Amerigo pays tribute to the God Father of Soul with a re-imagined set of co-conspirators.

"I'm not sure any other artist has left their imprint on popular music, especially across so many genres, as much as James Brown has.  With as many of today's hit songs that were built around some sort of James Brown flip, it's almost like he had a say in what the music of future generations would sound like without even knowing it."

The Notorious J.B.'s - Sex Machine Gun Funk (Soul Mates Remix)

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.

Coke Escovedo - I Wouldn't Change A Thing (Florent F Gentle Edit)

The Mike Theodore Orchestra - The Bull

Thirteen tracks. Thirteen voices that dared to break silence.

From Daniel Ellsberg handing over the Pentagon Papers to the modern struggles of Matthew Chenoweth Wright, Blow traces a lineage of whistleblowers who chose truth over comfort, disclosure over complicity. Each track takes its sonic cues from the era and mood of its subject — folk protest, punk defiance, electronic paranoia, glitch-jazz catharsis.

This isn’t a history lesson; it’s a soundscape of risk and revelation. Every whistle blast becomes a note, every secret unveiled becomes rhythm. The album moves chronologically, building a tapestry of courage and consequence: Cold War secrets, corporate scandals, digital leaks, and finally the physicist’s own coda.

Blows aren’t always clean, and neither is this music — it’s urgent, jagged, insistent. These songs remember those who raised alarms when the world wasn’t ready to listen, and they ask: when the next whistle sounds, will you hear it?

B side of the 'Move No Mountains' 7" released on july 27th '12. 

A Nu-Funk remix of Laura Vane & The Vipertones’ original track 110%. Draaikolk (aka bass player Ton van der Kolk) gives an extra twist of funk, adding Phil Martin’s rolling drums, pumping bass and a touch of Marco Hijl’s magic on tenor sax to keep pleasing dance floor demand.

This 7“ is a total must-have for the summer of 2012 but versatile enough to lift those rainy days that need some brightening up!

It Aint Never Gonna Work

"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.
