** TRACKLISTING BELOW**
My special guest this week is Hansi, a DJ, Producer and Sound Engineer from St Albans in the UK. Hansi was immersed in music from an early age, going to gigs with his Dad who was a Jazz Drummer. He was once the bass player in a band, until his DJ career took off in the 90s, when he played at clubs and festivals throughout the UK, spinning rare groove, funk and house. He still has a staggering collection of vinyl from those days, with an estimated 3000-4000 records.

In 2000 he started a DJ night in St Albans called The Monday Club which became a bit of an institution running for a mighty 10 years and featuring both local and established DJs such as Dreadzone, The Freestylers, Brandon Block, Flux Pavillion, Chris Clark, Nicky Blackmarket, Sigma etc

In 2004 he started running a local live music venue called The Horn which was subsequently nominated for UK Music Pub of The Year at The Great British Pub Awards 5 times, winning it 3 times.

More recently Hansi started making remixes and edits of classic funk and soul tracks, breathing new life and energy into them. They are released under his own successful record label, Viking Grooves, and his most recent EP hit the number 1 spot in the Junodownload charts. Check out his soundcloud page and bandcamp store, where you will literally find DOZENS of his excellent tracks

Jair Rodrigues - Deixa Isso Pra Lá (Trotter Remix)

They are Frank Cueto and Rusty Belicek. Together they form the funky and eclectic duo known as All Good Funk Alliance and we're very excited to have them in The Armory this week. Press play. Get down. 

"I wanted to represent what we did, do and are into", says Rusty. "I wanted to have midtempo breaks, ghetto funk, moombahton, hip hop, funk and everything that makes our sound unique. Hopefully people feel it.. I used some DC artists to give them some shine and even a twerk tune because that's what I like.. straight vibes." 

Made up of Frank Cueto and Rusty Belicek, All Good Funk Alliance has opened up for the legendary James Brown, written songs for Coca-Cola and appeared on the Breakspoll Top 50 list. In other words, these guys are no strangers to the funk. And while their musical tastes range the gamut, when Frank and Rusty join forces the end result is always the same: they deliver a sound that is funky, fun and fresh. 

All Good Funk Alliance has long been lauded by critics and fans alike, and DJs looking to inject flavor into their sets invariably seek out that unmistakable AGFA sound. Their remix of big band legend Woody Herman's track, "Mambo Herd," was met with critical acclaim, and the boys recently signed a major remix deal to put their indelible, funk-infused spin on Kraak and Smaak's hit album “Plastic People." When AGFA's release, "REC," dropped in 2007, Properly Chilled described it as "modern funk mixing the best of hip hop and funk [with] lots of percussion breakdowns." Turntable Lab has also raved about the duo's sound, summing it up as: “continually hitting the head-nodding nape." 

Since 1999, All Good Funk Alliance has released music on a host of labels, including its own heavyweights: Funk Weapons, Super Hi-Fi Recordings and Baffin Island Beat Brigade. Frank and Rusty have played at clubs and festivals around the globe—from Canada to Australia—and the pair has even opened up for the iconic godfather of soul himself, James Brown. 

Recognized as influential pioneers of the Nu-Funk and mid-tempo breaks sounds, AGFA's innovation and originality has earned them universal respect across the breaks industry. Now, poised to unleash a fresh new album brimming with unreleased music that encompasses multiple genres, All Good Funk Alliance is ready to kick off the latest chapter in their book of funk.

"Skeewiff’s Big Free Happy

Everyone needs this album in their lives. In their cars, on their iPods, in their boudoirs, inside the gym, outside with Jim…anywhere you play this sexy sexy fun times will ensue. Bigger than Hip Hop, freer than Willy. Happier than Bert after Ernie took him into a bear hug and roared a proclamation to the world that he ‘wished he knew how to quit him!’ before getting down to some serious fuzzy-felt back door nuzzling. Skeewiff writes the Soundtrack to 'The Muppets do Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' before Disney even start thinking about it. Listen to this album with joy in your heart, the sun on your face and a mental image of Kermit in a pith helmet, shooing away mescaline induced imaginary bats whilst keeping his car on the road, balancing his cigarette holder in one corner of his fierce jaw whilst trying to get the end of a straw inside Miss Piggy. Skeewiff are summer luvin’ geniuses and like Kermit, this album blows up!

BigFreeHappy™

Skeewiff V Eileen V Syd V Big Les **FREE DL**

And we close the BigFreeHappy™ with a timeless reminder from 1943, to live each day to the fullest. Featuring the late, great Sister Ernestine Washington. Spread a little happy today :)

(The more observant amongst you will note that this track is a complete and shameless rip off of the final track from our Electro Swing & Gospel Breaks album - Well done for spotting this, but we won't be suing ourselves, so no need to inform the authorities. We really don't mind being ripped off by ourselves... its a  special kind of narcissistic flattery.)

We hope you've enjoyed our BigFreeHappy™ as much as we did making it... and that isn't just some marketing shpeel.. This album really has been one long grin-fest. We hope that comes across, and that a little rubs off on y'all.

So, we would like to leave you with the immortal words of Pharrel Williams: 
"Because I'm..." OW! Batman? WTF? For Christ's sake We were just quoting him.. OW!!!! OK, Ok we'll shut up...

Skeewiff & Sister Ernestine Washington - Each Day

Many years ago I started making music by cutting sounds together on a cassette tape deck recorder, otherwise known as pause mixing . 
I recently found the same cassette recorder machine in a second hand store, so I thought it would be a challenge to see if I could create an old skool pause mix again. 
This mix was made entirely on cassette using vinyl with no computer!

PAUSE MIX 1

Parallel to the current Renegades of Rhythm Tour with Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow paying tribute to Afrika Bambaataa and his legendary record collection, Cut Chemist drops the timely "Mix By Jimmy".

Take a peak into the exclusive material from hip hop pioneer DJ Afrika Bambaataa.  "Mix By Jimmy" features recordings Bambaataa had pressed to acetate for spinning live at shows in the late 70's and early 80's. This mix includes entirely unreleased material along with demo versions of hits like "Looking For The Perfect Beat," "Renegades of Funk" and "Planet Rock. "
Listen and take a trip through the deepest part of the most important music collection of our time.
-Cut Chemist
