Qdup 2016 Funk Parade Mix

Here it is! Qdup’s promo mix for the third annual DC Funk Parade and it’s primed to get your ready to Roll Your Funk at this years parade. It includes a premier of the forthcoming Fort Knox Five tune “Don’t Go feat. Joe Quarterman” which is a collaboration that came out of the preparations for this years parade. It is set to be released Friday May 6th  2016; just in time for the festivities. Washington, DC native Joe Quarterman had his first hit “So Much Trouble On My Mind” in 1973, an instant funk classic that was part of the capital city's red hot 70s funk scene. Qdup’s DJ mix embodies that timeless funk that is still rocking over 40 years later. It features Public Service announcements from Rare Essence, Kokayi, Rufus Roundtree, Empresarios & Congo Sanchez straight from the heart of the Mothership on DC’s U Street, letting you know about the Funk Parade!
