For my latest episode we’ve got a special mix from JD Finburg, who has guested on my radio show before. This one’s a Victor Simonelli megamix, featuring a load of proper house music  - real bumping, soulful and uplifting stuff - in tribute to the legendary New York DJ. Well worth a listen!

Funkier Session #024 - JD Finburg [Victor Simonelli Megamix]

2 hours of myself this time, purely because I slacked off on the schedule and didn’t get anyone lined up! Hour 1 was a mix of all sorts gradually stepping up the tempo, then the second hour was a guest mix I did recently that hasn’t seen the light of day yet. It’s a disco special so progresses through some tasty nu-disco flavours before ending on a more vintage tip. One track accidentally repeated in both halves - oops!

Funkier Sounds Episode 148 - Even Funkier Guest Mix

Well, this is the episode that nearly never was - repeated tech problems scuppered the live broadcast and I had to abandon it, which was highly annoying… but I managed to record my bit properly the next day. My hour was actually more like 45 mins - a whistle stop tour of worldwide grooves, some mighty funky shizzle and some lovely disco gems to finish. Glad to have got this one down eventually! 

In hour two, after welcoming one half of ‘Bangers & Mash’ My Mate Kate a few weeks back, it was time for the other half, Gentleman George! George and Kate spent this summer bringing silliness, mashups and fun vibes to festivals like Wilderness, Secret Garden Party and Glastonbury, and George kindly put this mix together showcasing a wide range of disco sounds across 75 minutes. Something to appeal to all kinds of disco aficionado in here, what a great mix. As usual, give him a follow per-leeease…!

Funkier Session #025 - DJ C1

My little show has hit 150 episodes young, and since my attempts to snag a big name for a guest mix failed, I decided that the next best way to mark the occasion was with a special two hours from me. I pulled together a playlist of some of my very favourite tunes in my collection (which by complete coincidence ended up being exactly 150 tracks!), and played from that for the full two hours. I got through 39 tracks, each a complete banger in my opinion… and a couple of the better tracks that I’ve produced made it in as well. We start slow and soulful at around 80 BPM and work up through the gears - topping out at a full 130. Needless to say, I enjoyed this one lots!

Funkier Session #026 - CaTy

I kept things bubbling around the 100 BPM mark for quite a while this time, because it felt good… then I picked things up with a little tribute to Sam from Sam & Dave who has sadly left us, a few promos, some disco, a few slightly more banging bits and some jazzy goodness to round things off. 

My guest this time was Stewart Birch, a wicked producer and DJ from up North. His set is full of big, fun disco and funky tunes, and is very enjoyable indeed.

Funkier Sounds Episode 151 - Stewart Birch Guest Mix

After a much needed break, I'm pleased to say I'm back in the shack and cooking up musical delights for ya. This one is something I've been meaning to do for a while - this track would be a bit of a guilty pleasure if I was in any way guilty about liking it. It’s a banger… there's so many bits that I like in this tune and a few bits that I don't, so I've rebuilt it as an extended 7 minute monster. Lots of messing about with stems in here, and the end result is familiar, but kind of different. I hope you enjoy it - of course it's yours for free, sugar!

(soundcloud upload extended to stop it being taken down - download is the proper track!)

The B-52's - Love Shack (Even Funkier Edit)

Most of my hour was taken up by mellow, deep electronic grooves, gradually cranking things up to squeeze in a couple of new bits from me right at the end. Hour 2 was all about my very special guest Mannix, boss of Dafia Records. He’s treated us to a very fine mix of disco, nu-disco and classy, jazzy house vibes, with a few from him and a few nice edits of tracks you should know. Truly lovely stuff!
