Sweater-Funk DJ's PUMA YARD SF

SWEATER FUNK Promo Mix
Selection and mix by JON BLUNCK and GUILLERMO
June 2009

We made this mix to give out to friends and family on a road trip to LA in June 2009 as guests at DAM FUNK's FUNKMOSPHERE party. Not many were pressed up...and the few remaining copies were given to the party people that get down with us every Sunday night in the basement of LI PO in Chinatown's SF. Lots of classic SWEATER FUNK cuts on here… from modern soul, boogie funk, rare and medium rare joints. Big up to E DA BOSS for letting the crew record in his studio. Put your SWEATER FUNK on and enjoy!

After 6+ years of rolling deep with the Sweater Funk Crew how do you tell that story in 33 mins or less? This is my HEART to the members of SF with some perennial dance floor faves, nods to our love 4 Chi-Town, future classics by a bunch of talented peeps in our community, and of course, Bruce Grant. For the full Sweaterfunk effect mode make sure to repeat the Windjammer track at the end at least 3 times in a row as Two Step Lou orders a drink at the bar from the mic.

SWEATER FUNK Steps Twice 1/16/11

A couple weeks ago a good friend of Sweater Funk, Seth Kolski, passed away. We invited him to guest DJ with us back in the Li Po basement as well as the Knockout many times, including coming out to play with us on his last birthday. Those of us in the crew that knew him considered him to be a family member. On Sunday July 24th, 2016 we recorded this live tribute mix of some of his favorite songs, songs he put us up on back in the basement, tracks we geeked over when he guested, songs we texted back and forth about, and tracks he always used to play on his long running Sweet Power radio show (KUSP Santa Cruz, 2006-2015), etc.  We hope you enjoy this mix and remember Seth Kolski (August 23rd, 1975 - July 19th, 2016).  Hopefully we'll try to get some more of his legendary mixes posted online. We're gonna miss ya homie.

DJ SPINNA (Live at SWEATER FUNK 12/12/11)

SWEATER FUNK has been fortunate enough to share the stage with the vanguard of musicians and producers in the future funk music movement. From our first event presenting French beatmaker ONRA to opening up for R&B legend STEVE ARRINGTON (formerly of the group SLAVE), we've been honored to get down with the very best in modern soul, boogie and funk.

This mix is merely a highlight and sneak peek of our upcoming NYE with OPOLOPO + AMALIA @ SOM. in SF...some of the artists we've worked with most recently and a taste of the music we're digging from DAM-FUNK, KUTKORNER, B. BRAVO, K-MAXX and THE PENDLETONS. Most of these tunes are available if you do a simple Google search, so we recommend you go out and track'em down (and PAY for them) in their full glory. In the spirit of obscure goodies you can only hear coming out of the Sweater Funk basement, we've included an exclusive tune from SF's THE PENDLETONS which features our very own SABRINA on vocals. 

Enjoy, share with a friend, and we hope to toast you and yours on New Years Eve! 

Happy Holidays,
The S-F Crew

SWEATER FUNK Two Step Soul Mix

Sweater Funk Presents...K-Maxx is the latest EP vinyl release from the Bay Area's Ken Hopkins and the first from San Francisco's Sweater Funk DJ crew.

Featuring four modern funk songs aimed straight at the lovers and dancers, K-Maxx's music is about love and the quest for it, but in a genuine & honest way. With all of the slick talk regarding male/female relationships in music these days, K-Maxx thought it would be refreshing to have some tunes where the guy is really enamored with a girl without fear of being corny or un-cool. "I'm trying to help the fellas put the guards down with their ladies!"

The music here is sequenced like most relationships: The first time you met (Eye On U), the weeklong hookup (Cupcakin'), time to tell your homies (Make It Official) and the everlasting love you can always depend on to make everything in life make sense again (My Medicine). 

K-Maxx is no stranger to the Bay Area music scene, having released his first hip hop single "Sumthin' Ta Roll Wit" back in 1995. He was an MC on that record and remains one to this day, only in the last few years has Ken started to record his singing. A musician and singer since childhood, his multi-instrumental talents on guitar, bass, drums and keys set his music apart from bedroom producers turning out modern funk 12"s these days. This and his songwriting that wears it's 80's R & B influence on his sleeve makes for one of the best funk records to come out in the last few years. 


About Sweater Funk
San Francisco's Sweater Funk DJ crew have been the city's most dedicated purveyors of the funky subgenre known as BOOGIE since the summer of 2008. Their vision to bring boogie, strictly on vinyl originals, to the masses has earned them a diehard following who pack The Knockout nightclub every Sunday. K-Maxx is our MC, we're absolutely proud & excited to be putting his EP out!
