Let's Go Funk To Hip Hop Mix

Just like my homework as a kid, I left recording this competition entry to pretty much the last minute after first seeing it advertised months ago! Recorded straight from the decks with no post production, this is as raw as it gets - 30 minutes of bassbin-booming old school hip hop block party jams, with a few recent edits thrown in for good measure. On and on till the break a dawn!

Yo! Before Christmas we dropped a mix off to Dom Servini for his awesome 'Unherd Radio' show on Soho Radio. Well here is the stand alone mix for you to enjoy, and thanks to Dom for having us :-)

The Allergies - Soho Radio Mix for Dom Servini

'Freak the Funk' is an extended re-recording of the interval mix I played at 2022's Hatherleigh Carnival between the two sets played by local indie rockers 'The Wreckords'. DJing after a band is always a challenge, especially if you're a hip hop DJ facing a crowd that have been whipped up into a frenzy by a band playing uptempo classic indie covers for the past hour. Unprepared and desperately flicking through my box looking for an accessible launch record, I pulled out Jimi Hendrix's 'Crosstown Traffic' and its sample borrowing UK cousin 'I'm Ready', before cutting into the Nas classic 'Hip Hop is Dead' and War's 'Me and Baby Brother'. From that point I was on a roll - working through a stack of raw 60s r&b and funk before breaking back into hip hop with 45 Live's release of the previously lost Outlaw Posse cut 'Living in Hackney', purely selected because after a few pints 'Hackney' sounds not too dissimilar to 'Hath'leigh', twisting the track into an unintentional rural anthem!

I've no doubt that the majority of the dancers would have preferred a straight-up indie rock set, but by the time I dropped Daytoner's Wiseguys-apeing 'Ooh Lalo' they were well and truly won over. And then the band came on again and smashed it out of the park.

Anyway, I'd been working on the bar all evening prior to my set and was a few pints in myself, so I couldn't recall exactly what else I played during the intermission, but this mix pretty much covers what I do remember. Although I'm pretty sure I dropped Back by Dope Demand, White Lines and Super Fly at some point, which didn't make it into this version. Recorded straight from the mixer in a single take for that authentic live vibe, raw and uncut, this is rock 'n' roll soul!

Pecoe - The Funk Mix Part 2

I've recently been teaching my two boys (9 and 7)how to use my trio of Roland Boutiques (TR-09, TR-08 and TB-03) together with a Korg Electribe sampler, AKAI MPX-16 and Roland MX-1 mixing desk. They've formed their own group ('The Party Krashers'), and this is an edited recording of one of their less frenetic jam sessions.

I'm particularly impressed with the MX-1's ability to dynamically scatter individual inputs for chopped up beats and loops.

I thoroughly recommend these synths and drum machines to anyone with kids! :D

Heavy Stylus: An explosive amalgamation of Jamaican roots, hip hop beats, heavy soul breaks and blaxploitation ghetto-funk.

I’ve been rocking funk/soul/beats/hiphop/roots for around 20 years in various bars and clubs across the South West, and have supported a wide range of acts and artists such including Jelly Jazz, Boca 45, Andy Smith, Quantic, Craig Charles, DJ Food, Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, Ugly Duckling and DJ Format.

Although I started as a vinyl-only DJ in Bristol, these days I use a pair of battle-scarred Pioneer CDJs as my weapons of choice. I’m currently a resident (of 11 years) at the Angel Bar on Queen Street, and in the past have held Exeter-based residencies at The Monkey Suit, Timepiece, Dr. Inks and Verve (now Urban Underground), as well as DJing regularly for Hold it Down.
