One of our absolute favorite places on earth to play…Here is the Audio/Visual Set we performed in the Fractal Forest at the 2013 Shambhala Music Festival!

Originally performed LIVE on 4-turntables alongside our Sax and Guitar players, we've gone back and re-recorded the Saxophone just for this mix!

Thanks to all the amazing people who have shown us such incredible love every year at Shambhala, and in all corners of the globe. This is our labour of love for you! So download, enjoy, and share away :-)

Much love, 

Nick & Dunks

P.S. Our set time this year was cut short as one of our laptops died right before the set, so we started 25 min late... Back your shit up people!

The Funk Hunters - 2013 SHAMBHALA A/V MIX

I got the opportunity to officially remix this classic song to coincide with the release of a new Donny Hathaway box set. I was given the original multitrack master of the studio version (different from the live version)and it consisted of 8 different instrument and vocal tracks (as opposed to the more usual 24 tracks) 
When I take on a remix, my first goal is to make it work on a current dance floor. I like to stay very close to the originally recorded sound and In most case there's plenty to be reworked on the multitrack master to achieve this. 
This case proved a little different as there were few rhythm elements I could use to fit within current standards of club loudness levels. So I decided to take a slightly different approach, and add a new set of (acoustic) drums,  to bend the original Soul vibe a little towards Disco territory. 
This remix is exclusive to my soundcloud page and free to download as a 16bit WAV file

The Funk Hunters Present: The Detour Podcast #04

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection
 
My name is Felox and I have been spinning records since the mid Nintees.
 
My record collection is pretty heavy on 12" and singles with some proper albums thrown in for good measure. In this respect it's quite a classic DJ collection.
 
Musically it's mostly Soul, Disco-Edits, House and Downbeat. The red thread that connects all my records is a special "groove" that needs to be present in any song that get's into my dj bag.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
 
It's a very handy format and the emphasis is most of the time on one track. You instinctively get what the 7" is about musically
which I really like!
 
It's this limitation that inspires me. Just the fact that there is only space on a 7" for two full tracks really makes the format feel more special and curated by the artist as not every song makes it into onto a 7"!
 
3) Can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
 
I tried to squeeze the musical journey of a 5 hour vinyl only singles set into one hour of very selected 7" for the 45/7 VINYL CLUB project. From the warm up phase to peak time tracks all the way to the last song of the night. 
 
4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 
 
I am currently djing in selected venues in Hamburg / Germany.
The best way to catch up with me online is via my soundcloud: 
www.soundcloud.com/felox
 
5) Top 5 all time fave records
 
Primal Scream „Screamadelica“
Peace Orchestra „Peace Orchestra“
Jamie Lidell „Jim“
Stereo MC`s „Connected“
Supermax „World Of Today“

45/7 #01 ARTIST: FELOX

Next up on The Reflex’s official vinyl label DISCOLIDAYS is a two tracker fully licensed from Cerrone via Because Music / Malligator featuring first time ever multi remix from the classic ‘Look For Love’ by The Reflex (the original was released on his Cerrone IV album in 1978) b/w a welcome repress of The Reflex revision of ‘Hooked On You’ (Cerrone #1 remix of all Cerrone remixes on Spotify) that was only available on a super limited 12” back in 2015.
Both remixes have been released digitally by Because / Malligator on the ‘Cerrone x The Reflex’ EP last April, and Cerrone generously granted a licence to The Reflex in order to release it officially on his label DISCOLIDAYS second release.
Cerrone loved the remixes so much that both are now integral part of his Live / DJ set and ‘Look for Love’ will be the only remix done by someone else featured on his forthcoming album ‘Cerrone by Cerrone’ which sees the disco legend revisiting his own back catalogue.
The vinyl went straight to the top of Juno Records overall charts on pre-orders alone, the day before its official release date.
A list of stores stocking the vinyl is available here: https://linktr.ee/cerronexthereflexvinyl

Over the years there have been a handful of artists/DJs that I have always wanted to come on the show. We've had Dam Funk, Mr. Choc, Daddy Kev, Hazel, Rhettmatic, Ta-ku, Coleman, Iman Omari, and many others as special guests but i've always wanted to have J. Rocc of the legendary Beat Junkies/Stones Throw crew on the show. Well, our timing finally aligned and he came through the Soulection HQ to drop a set and sit down with me for an interview. He dropped a 60 min set full of future beats, bass, and some other left-field shit. 

After that we sat down and chopped it about so many interesting things from his love for digging for 45's (Gospel Music), his production (that he keeps low key), his DILLA/MADLIB stories, and much more. J. Rocc is an overall tastemaker and one of the best on the decks. If you ever have a chance to see him live please go to a show and see for yourselves. 

Enjoy this one and spread the word.

When we first launched SoundPark, we were looking for projects that had their home here in New York. We wanted to highlight the individuals who were part of shaping and rebuilding the city's image during this renaissance in music. Realistically, there have been numerous projects that helped propel New York out of the dark ages. Whether it be through successful events, new venues springing up, or solid releases from imprints born out of NY, each of these have collectively contributed to the arching success of New York's reinspired image. One of these players is Chris Luzz. Luzz has been commandeering some of the best booths in this city for over a decade. He was also an integral part of operating the successful Stranjjur imprint for 3 years. He's held strong residencies in New York while performing several times over in Switzerland and Berlin. Luzz is also an accomplished producer, with over 20 releases on over 15 different labels, its easy to see why Luzz has been an incredible trendsetter in front as well as behind the scenes here in this city. We are excited to pass the keys off to Luzz for a incredible entry to our Playground series. Welcome to the Park! <3

Florence + the Machine - Dog Days (Pumpkin Remix)

African Reggae Fever DUB (Remix by  DJ Drez ft. Blitz the Ambassador)

The sunrise sets at the Nutz camp have become something of an institution during my annual pilgrimages to Burning Man. 

As per usual they come after a number of days burnt out in the desert on sleepless nights, untold stimulants and with a mind blown from excess stimulation and inspired by being surrounded by hundreds of beautiful, passionate people. 

This year's set followed on from a fire &amp; brimstone throwdown at Opulent Temple and I loved every single minute of it, especially when the 40ft UFO-platform appeared to 'shade' the dancefloor from the heat of the morning, and when during my fifth Bloody Mary of the morning, the BBQ arrived to ply us all with a seemingly endless supply of breakfast goodies.

Look out for more sets similar to this over the coming year as I launch my 'One' series of parties across the globe. Meanwhile your digital hugz are always welcome at http://www.facebook.com/djeliteforce

Simon Shackleton - Live @ Nutz, Burning Man 2012

Buy it here: http://shop.daptonerecords.com/products/lights-out-keep-coming-back

Dark, triumphant and mysterious; the new Menahan Street band 45 single "Light's Out" conjures images of hard-fighting pugilists battling it out under a bare bulb, of a matador's graceful execution of a lumbering bull, of sweat, romance and victory.  Brought in by a rollicking, almost tipsy, Hammond melody and backed by a smoky smooth guitar line, “Keep Coming Back” eventually erupts into a swanky nightlife anthem, complete with red velvet curtains and a garnished highball.

The Budos Band - Up From The South

Carey Bell was born in Macon, Mississippi in 1936. As a child, Bell was intrigued by the music of Louis Jordan. Bell wanted a saxophone in order to be like his hero Jordan; however, Bell's family could not afford a saxophone so he had to settle for the harmonica, colloquially known as a "Mississippi saxophone." Soon Bell was attracted by the blues harmonica greats: DeFord Bailey, Big Walter Horton, Marion "Little Walter" Jacobs, and Sonny Boy Williamson I and II. Bell taught himself to play. By the time he was eight, he was quite proficient on the instrument. When he was thirteen, Bell joined his pianist godfather Lovie Lee's blues band.

In September 1956, Lovie Lee convinced Bell to go with him to Chicago. Not long after arriving, Bell went to the Club Zanzibar, where Little Walter was appearing. Bell met Walter and later learned some harp playing from him and his main Chicago teacher, Big Walter Horton.To help further his chances of employment as a musician, Bell learned how to play the electric bass (from Hound Dog Taylor).

In 1969, Delmark Records in Chicago released Bell's debut LP, Carey Bell's Blues Harp. Bell played with Muddy Waters in late 1970 and 1971 and later with Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars. In 1972, Bell teamed up with Big Walter in the studio and released Big Walter Horton with Carey Bell for Alligator Records. A year later Bell released a solo project entitled Last Night for ABC Bluesway. Bell continued to play with Dixon as well as with his own groups, and in 1978, Bell was featured on the Grammy-nominated album Living Chicago Blues on Alligator.
