Funk The World 75

Funk The World 75 mixed by Doe Ran

Here's my Qdup Guest Mix I made for Space Cowboys Ripecast back in October of 2023. It was up for streaming since then, but thought I would put it up here for those that like to download it. This was to made right before Space Cowboys had me out to headline their Haunted Hoedown party at The Great Northern for Halloween 2023. I love SF around Halloween and SC's always do it right!

Track list coming soon.. need to put that together.

Dear Breakbeat,
From the first time I encountered your distinctive rhythms and innovative sound, my heart was irrevocably captivated. Your complex, syncopated beats resonated with a part of me that no other genre could reach, sparking a passion that has only grown stronger with time.

Breakbeat, you are the heartbeat of my musical soul. Your origins, rooted in the early hip-hop and funk movements, carry a rich history that speaks of rebellion, creativity, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. The break, that magical moment when the percussion takes center stage, has always been your gift to the world, a gift that has shaped and redefined music across decades.

Your versatility is astounding. Whether it’s the raw, organic breaks of the 70s, the vibrant energy of the 90s rave scene, or the sophisticated, modern drum patterns that continue to evolve today, you have a chameleon-like ability to adapt and thrive. You bring a unique flavour to every track you touch, infusing it with an energy that is both infectious and exhilarating.

I adore how you seamlessly blend with other genres, creating hybrid styles that are innovative and fresh. Your influence on jungle, drum and bass, and even the more mainstream EDM scenes, showcases your incredible range and enduring relevance. Each beat, each sample, is a testament to your ability to transcend boundaries and bring people together on the dance floor.

Listening to you is an experience like no other. Your rhythms are a conversation, a call and response that challenges the listener to engage, to move, to feel. The unpredictability of your beats keeps me on my toes, constantly anticipating the next drop, the next twist. It’s a dance of anticipation and fulfillment, a journey that is as exhilarating as it is satisfying.

Breakbeat, you are not just a genre; you are a movement, a culture, a lifestyle. You represent freedom, expression, and a defiance of the norm. Your beats have been the soundtrack to countless nights of dancing, to moments of introspection, and to the unspoken connection between strangers united by the power of your sound.

Thank you for the countless hours of joy, for the memories etched in your beats, and for the promise of new discoveries in every track. You are a timeless love, a passion that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Here’s to you, Breakbeat, and to the endless rhythms that bind us together.
Love DANK SINATRA
