Not all the selections I make each month for my FSQ BEATPORT charts - visit - http://dj.beatport.com/chuckdafonk - are readily available for streaming or purchase. I find that most of the content is available here on SoundCloud. So I try to present the best finds from SoundCloud each month in a back to back set, an FSQ mix. Here is the inaugural - FSQ MIX 001. 

I include SoundCloud handles to make these artists a bit easier to find. A few things about some of the selections. CLICK THROUGH TO READ MORE

Everything lined up really nicely for February. I wasn't trying to make transitions, again these are selections. Started off with a @blackstroberecords (Black Strobe) song I found via the amazing disco label @nang-records because their artist @brioski remixed it. I see now there are several other remixes of this song which I'll soon check, but Brioski nails it with slithering disco guitars - the solo at 3:50 or so in the song reminds me of @yello_dot_ch (Yello) with guitarist Chico Hablas. 

I found @willdiebel (Deebs) through a @discobelle post - this is one of the craziest sounding future tracks I've ever heard - lots of trap sounds - but it's just something totally other.

@claytonandfulcrum is a name I haven't heard since I left in Philadelphia in 2006, but they make @all-good-funk-alliance (All Good Funk Alliance) 'Sock it to Ya' into a fun funky gritty guitar romp. 

I grew up with @djmightymi in Philadelphia. I wasn't a fan of the new Timberlake song but Mighty Mi's tech house oriented remix with Slugworth, he really slays the new joint and I would love to hear this out at the club. He's the resident music director at Surrender and Encore Beach Club at the Wynn so I imagine you could hear this there.

@matan-arkin is an Israeli-Swiss producer who I stumbled upon via the @salacioussound blog summer of 2012 - he keeps pounding out sample constructed tracks that wind up to be 1000% originals. I'm not sure what to call his music because each track comes out totally different - check him take on Jimi Hendrix in this set - he makes Jimi shine.

@iamdjday (DJ Day) is back with his signature funky laid back sound on his new track 'Land of 1000' chances - check out the video for this one - great scenes of San Francisco. The guitar lines are so good I wonder if he summoned Grant Green back from the dead.

I know @laberge from the Hollerboard diaspora - with this track 'All Mind' he's up-leveled his music yet again. I don't even know how to classify this song but it is perfect and just fit right in this set. So did @KingMost's rework of a Rolling Stones classic ; he's hollerboard-disapora person and resident San Francisco funky genius.

I follow @leftside-wobble on SoundCloud. Via Leftside Wobble - I found the amazing "Bedford Falls Players - Ballad Of Hardrock (Ashley Beedle's Housin' Vocal)" which seems to include some spoken word poem about Hardrock and an amazing 70s styled jazzy house backing track. Fender Rhodes for days and sleek guitar lines. 

@RobertoDeCarlo's juicy side 'Stereophonic' I found through @MartinBrodin (Martin Brodin)  - but this self made remix by the Swiss DeCarlo is my favorite from the set of 4. De Carlo is another Swiss artist here in the February Selections - lots of good things coming out of Switzerland.

Closing out the set is something 'special' I found via DJ @CosmoBaker - @SharamJey's 'Special' which so kindly reworks Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, and Charlie Wilson's 'Beautiful' into a juicy synth funky house monster. 

Ok more new selections next month. Thanks for reading!! @fonksquish @fsqdj ( or @chuckdafonk or @fsqrecs )

Moodymann - I Can't Kick This Feeling When It Hits (Manuel Figara Edit)

Copycat teamed up with us to make this tribute to Main Source. We looked up the samples on who sampled who and then tracked down the records, cds and files and recreated Main Source's "Fakin' the Funk" from the ground up, even including some pieces from a classic interview. 

Shout out to Sir Scratch, K-Cut and the master of beats Large Professor.

Blue Monday People (All Good Funk Alliance Re-Dux)

Downloads are open.. thank you to our fans and friends, if you can go out and purchase a Mass Production album and let them amaze you, or Moodymann both did great music that still resonates. 

We got this idea from the classic Moodymann release "Music People". We loved that sample but wanted to flip it in a more breakish way, we ended up somewhere between breaks house and nu-disco. Hopefully you dig it..


Mass Production "Welcome to our World" (B - Team Redux)

Da Silva - Tres Calos (Matas Vandals)

We joined forces with Casual Connection to release a lil tribute to one of our favorite rappers Phife Dawg, who truly shined hard on Buggin. You'll notice a lack of his vocals, we left it open for you to scratch and mix in his vocals and take this song next level for your sets. Or just enjoy the dope beats and samples and chill with it on that level.
