Hell yea getting excited for this one 🙏

Welcome everyone to Episode 8 of The FunkDown bringing you 2 hours of Nu Disco floor fillers, soulful grooves and funk filled gems. 
This week we are delighted to have a guest on the show providing a mix for the second hour.  

Our special guest is Bats who hails from the north east UK (Hull).
Like many his journey through house and affiliated scenes in the 90's gave birth to a love of all things disco! 
Bats is 1/3 of the @DiskoKlubb DJ Crew he has enjoys contributing to Hull's music scene, DiskoKlubb has been running nights for 7 years in the city, as well as playing the marquee events and festivals that the city hosts.

DJing has been a teenage love affair for Bats with influences spanning most genres. Speaking disco he simply says, 'most of the tracks I liked was edited from a disco beat or vocal, as I looked more into the genre I became aware of how many genres have relied one the influence of the 4-4 beat, hypnotic riffs and powerful vocals'. He spins what makes him smile and says that, 'it's never been about playing the latest top 20 releases, its always about the ride a DJ can take you on'. Although having respect for the new engineers and producers he has a ultimate respect for the originators and pioneers of the disco and what is now house music scenes.

Bats would like to thank all listeners and those who give time to the groove. He would like to thank @JayLee and the @FunkdownRadioShow for having The @DiskoKlubb guest mix featured.  
Myself and the FunkDown would like to thank Bats for his time putting together the guest mix. It's been a pleasure to have him on the show spinning his grooves.

In anticipation for the hottest weekend of the year, we dug out a load of tracks that epitomise what the Southport Weender means to us. Described as 'the friendliest party in the world' there really is nothing else like it. DJs on site for the whole weekend mingling with the crowd, artists respecting artists, live acts performing, incredible attention to sound design and the best people you could ever hope to be around!

'In rotation' features records from a handful of our favourite acts to play at the weekender throughout the years. From residents to headliners, it's an extended mix full of vibrant house records that audibly depict what Southport means to us!

We hope to see as many of you there this year as possibly and hope this mix can warm you up in anticipation!

Big Love - CG 🎧 ❤️ 

In Rotation - A Southport Weekender '24 Warm Up - Part 1

The guest mix was a bit longer this time so my bit was shorter than usual, but I still found time to cram in a ton of the good stuff. Then it was over to my guest for an hour and 12 of top notch tunes. My guest this time was Ravy, a DJ from Bangalore, India. He’s played parties for Dynamite Disco Club supporting the likes of Moodena, and his mix is a lovely journey through high quality house and disco house flavours, with a nice afro twist towards the end. 
Show Ravy some support…

Funkier Sounds Episode 129 - Ravy Guest Mix

David Russell Lee is a British DJ, producer and Remixer Icon.

One of the first albums I ever bought on Vinyl in the 90’s was the “Can’t Get High Without You Compilation” And back then I actually thought the artist was really named Joey Negro. Not knowing then that Dave created the name using a mix of Pal Joey “Reach Up To Mars and J. Walter Negro “Shoot The Pump”. He thought at that time, the name Dave Lee was too boring against the likes of junior Vazquez, David Morales and Frankie Knuckles in the House Music Scene. 

Following the George Floyd movement in 2020 Dave Lee dropped the Joey Negro Moniker for good. 

Having such a huge Discography of music to choose from it was difficult for me to discard some amazing tracks. In the end I’ve chosen 40 tracks which mean the most and have the best memories for me, so sorry to my followers and listeners if your favourite tunes didn’t make the Final Cut.

Of course I have to say a huge thank you to Dave Lee for all his hard work, producing such incredible music for all these years. I can’t wait to hear you play live again and will look forward to all your future releases.

1.) Joey Negro & The Sunburst Band - Garden of Love (Joey Negro Club Mix)

Fused Funk Of The 80's Child

DJ Re-Edit - Break It

Here's another one of my personal edits that I've never planned on releasing in the Underdog vinyl series. When you think of the 80's and Jazz-Funk, Tom Browne is for sure one name that comes to mind. From dancefloor classics like Funkin' For Jamaica (N.Y.) and Thighs High (Grip Your Hips And Move) to slow-jam standards like Midnight Interlude, he raised the bar for the R&B/Jazz hybrid that now a part of black music.
This cut, from the underrated album Rockin' Radio, was one of those joints that, I thought, could have stand alongside his other classics, if given the proper opportunity.
Plus, it was a stone groove, man! So, an edit was in order!
With the great Carol Woods on vocals, enjoy this exclusive edit!

Now featured in Underdog Edits' Doggie Bag! https://underdogedits.bandcamp.com/album/underdog-edits-doggie-bag?from=com-nr
