Chaka Khan - Clouds (Kocho Edit)

Hello Groovers,

This week's Liquid Sunshine turned up the heat with a relentless barrage of hard funk that hit like a sledgehammer to the soul, featuring deep cuts and bangers that proved funk music's raw power remains unmatched. From Mother Freedom Band's opening statement through to Richard Evans' "Burning Spear," every track was selected for maximum groove impact, showcasing funk's ability to move bodies while delivering serious social commentary. This was funk in its purest, most uncompromising form—no softening of edges, just pure rhythmic assault that reminded listeners why funk became the foundation for so much of what followed.

Just Another Groove

Magic Carpet Ride (Original)

Dropped Logic's 'The Warning' on the last mix I did, and since then I've been feenin' for more early 90's New York garage. I'm talking proper house music, sparse, soulful, the real deal. Whaddyaknow, there's a DJ Pierre Strictly Rhythm mini-mixtape gathering dust on my shelf - got it free on the cover of DJ Mag back in '92. Here it is folks, Strictly Rhythm classics all the way.
If anyone knows of any other mixes from this sort of 90-93 era, I'd love to know about them. Leave a comment!
