Funk by Funk show (28/10/2024): The Allergies Interview

Dreamin'!

lyrics:

i want u in a frame 
ion rlly care, im pickin up ur last name 
everytime you smile, i forget about the pain 
ill be grindin on you until i got migraine 
ion wna get away 
ill beg u for every second u could stay 
long as you dont leave me, ill probably be ok 
ion rlly care bout anything dat they would say

maybe i see my future in u

For those who missed it I had the honour of joining acts such as the Allergies, Sam Redmore, Shaka Loves You & Skewiff amongst others in being asked to put together a 30 minute mix for Craig Charles Funk n Soul Show over on Radio 6 back in January.

Took a few weeks to put together though on the plus side London's pretty cold and wet that time of year so was more than happy being locked in a heated room seing what I could come up with.

Originally featured on the January show before hanging on the BBC website for a while. Stuck it up on my youtube channel a few months ago but thought it would be time to get it up here for the DL in time for Easter funkin!

Enjoy

Dj XS London - Trunk of Funk on the Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show Jan 2018

As someone who started Dj'ing in the 90s, I though it was probably time I put a mix together of some of the classic jams we used to get down to back in the day.
Like any era, there's a lot of BS online about what we were really listening to, but I like to think this is an honest representation of what was going on, at least for a South London boy.

Intentionally avoided too much housey stuff, UK garage, DnB and nu school breaks as I reckon that will all deserve it's own mix though kicking off with a few RnB gems, some early funky & feel good 90s hip hop, acid jazz as well as a nod to the Big Beat movement and naturally a few dance classics to finish.

Hope you all like it. Took a while to put together though good fun taking that journey back and rediscovering some quality jams. Tried to avoid too many avoid choices but hopefully some classic vibes to give everyone a taste of some of that 90s goodness!!!

Also up on Spotify if that's you thing - https://open.spotify.com/show/7ABboNHS4CWxKTHPI7bU9r

Dj XS - Old School 90s Classics Mix - The True Sound of the 90s

Always planned to do a Bill Withers mix, but had to expedite it with his recent passing. One of the greatest there ever was, and one of the most underrated… you've got Marvin and Stevie and James and Al and Curtis, but you can't have a conversation about the best soul singers of all time without including Bill. 

Much respect to all the remixers. And rest in power to the incomparable Mr. Withers.

Track Listing:

01 – Use Me (Franka Edit)
02 – Make A Smile For Me (The Gaff Remix)
03 – Lonely Street, Lonely Town (Jack Tennis Edit)
04 – The Same Love That Made Me Laugh (Whiskey Barons Remix)
05 – You Got The Stuff (Dave Gerrard Edit)
06 – Soul Shadows (Paul Older Edit)
07 – Just The Two Of Us (Loopalike Makes It Three Edit)
08 – Ain't No Sunshine (Just Bonnie Remixx)
09 – Ruby Lee (John Morks Outer Space Edit)
10 – She's Lonely (Malovato Beats Edit)
11 – Who Is He (And What Is He To You) ((Rafael Cancian Re-Edit))
12 – City Of The Angels (Inspiro LA Remix)
13 – Grandma's Hands (Freddy Verano Extended Edit)
14 – Let It Be (Jay-K's ReGroove)
15 – Lovely Day (DJ Nobody's Summer Re Edit)
16 – Lean On Me (DJ Yeager Remix)
