Been sat on this beefed up version of the 1964 soul classic 'Dancing in the Street' for a while now but thought it was perfect time offer it up for the free download as things hopefully look like they're improving globally and I figured this might tie in with the general feeling.

Hopefully a fun remix keeping the core elements of the original as well as tapping into Mick and David's slightly dad dancier version from 1985.

Big shout out to @funkanizer who jumped on this with me. If you've not checked out his Soundcloud yet certainly take some time to do so as it's jam packed full of funky breakbeat edits as well as an awesome new EP of original solo joints dropping this month.

Peace

Big fan of Jamiroquai from back in the day and noticed that apart from the classic Morales remix of Space Cowboy there's not actually that many quality edits around of his classic tracks, especially those staying close to the original. 
With that in mind been working away over the last few months and finally happy to be dropping a new mixtape and supporting 24 hour release of some of their classic joints.

Just a reminder, the album will only be available for 24 hours over on Bandcamp so one for the eager beavers!

Full Sample Mix out now over on Youtube plus this free taster joint to wet the appetitie.

Cheers XS

Johnny King & Fatback Band - Keep on Brother Keep On
Rework by The Loneliest Hunk

The Fatback Band (later, simply Fatback) is an American funk and disco band that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The Fatback Band is most known for their R&B hits, "(Do the) Spanish Hustle", "I Like Girls", "Gotta Get My Hands on Some (Money)", "Backstrokin'" and "I Found Lovin'". Their 1979 single "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is generally considered the first commercially released hip hop single.

Formed in New York City in 1970, the Fatback Band was the concept of Bill Curtis, an experienced session drummer, inspired to merge the "fatback" jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band. In addition to Curtis, the band's initial line-up included guitarist Johnny King, bassist Johnny Flippin, trumpet player George Williams, saxophonist Earl Shelton, flautist George Adams, and keyboardist Gerry Thomas. 

In the mid-1970s, the band incorporated jazz elements and moved more towards a disco sound resulting in the singles, "Keep On Steppin'", "Yum, Yum (Give Me Some)", and "(Are You Ready) Do the Bus Stop". The singles proved popular in dance clubs, but did not do as well on the R&B chart until the spring of 1976 when "(Do The) Spanish Hustle" came close to the top ten.

Now recording for Spring/Polydor, the group continued with the singles "Party Time", "The Booty", and "Double Dutch". Late 1977 brought a name change to Fatback, and in 1978 they found their first top ten single with "I Like Girls". The song "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" is often considered to be the first commercially released rap single, having shipped just a week before the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" in October 1979.

Linda Lyndell - What A Man (Uncle Ted Edit)

Didn't manage to get this past the Soundcloud copyright first time around when I originally uploaded it as part of the 'Soul Nuggets Vol.1' EP back in February but nice to see @andy-buchan-edits got his version up a few weeks ago so thought I'd give it another roll of the dice.

Alternatively, for those who don't like Hypeddit or want the pick up the 3 track EP in full, head over to Bandcamp - https://djxs.bandcamp.com/album/dj-xs-soul-nuggets-vol-1

Awesome track, become a bit of a modern party classic over the last couple of years, I flipped it slightly, added some slightly tougher beats whilst hopefully keeping the organic vibe plus re-arranged the structure slightly adding an extra verse and chorus as I do tend to get a little obsessive about structure.

Funkanizer - Party Mess

Obviously a big Bill Withers fan like most and sad to hear of his passing last week. His catalogue of awesome songs is immense from feel good classics such as 'Lovely Day' and 'Lean on Me' through to stone cold groovers such as 'Who is He' and this bad boy, 'Use Me'.

Slight update of my original edit that I posted a few years back and more in keeping with my current dj'ing style so thought I'd offer it up as a Free Download for those who like the shorter cuts.
