No guest mix this time, so I kindly stepped in to supply the whole 120 minutes of grooves. We kicked off with some lovely soul a’la Aretha and Marvin, then went into some low tempo boogie, some weirdness, some African vibes, more weirdness, and via a few stop offs along the way we ended up with some beautiful, lesser known disco. I had fun!

Funkier Sounds Episode 158 - 2 hours of Even Funkier

Everyone knows that Say You’ll Be There is the second best Spice Girls song (Who Do You Think You Are edits have been done a few times, and I’ve shelved my dark acid edit of that for now… but will finish it one day!). So anyway, here’s my version - done my usual stems thing to add some vocal solos and the like, beefed up the percussion and bass, got rid of some of the annoying bits and dialled up some other bits. Not much else to say except dig in, enjoy, and thank you.

(Usual copyright nonsense to get this uploaded successfully - the download doesn’t have 10 minutes of silence at the end!)

Funkier Sounds celebrated its 6th birthday with an hour of tunes from me and then an hour of tunes from a DJ and producer that I’ve been into forever. My hour was the usual mix - starting things mid-tempo and funky, bringing things down a notch and then cranking things a touch with a few promo goodies before the handover.

In hour 2 I was dead chuffed to welcome none other than Fingerman. Gregg’s a bit of a legend in the game, and someone who I looked up to loads before I got into producing. Love that I’ve put out a couple of bits on his annual Hot Digits compilations (eyes on this year!), love that we hung out at Glasto a few years back, and love that he’s done a brilliant mix for my show! It’s the expected level of lushness, launching straight in after the trademark spoken intro. Gets quite full on towards the end too, but always keeping it cool, well-mixed and very Fingerman. 

Bit shouts to Gregg for the mix - give him a follow, yeah? https://soundcloud.com/fingermanedit

Funkier Session #031 - Dee James

After last episode’s 6th birthday special, I was back with more funkier fun for episode 160! I had a slightly shorter bit of the show due to a longer guest mix, but I still crammed in all sorts - disco, nu-disco, boogie, hip hop, funk and of course a bit of weirdness. 

The guest mix this time was a real treat - 70 minutes of beats, breaks, funk & soul and hip hop from DJ Russkins. Russell is a fan of the show, and when he sent me this mix I knew it would fit the bill perfectly - it’s a fast moving and fun trip through genres and eras, with loads of fun mashups and recognisable hooks. Been a while since I’ve had a guest mix quite like this, but i love it!

Funkier Sounds Episode 160 - DJ Russkins Guest Mix

The latest Funkier Sessionis a good one - a 96 minute beast of a mix from a UK-based DJ and producer called NTRIK. I loooove this mix - there’s loads going on but it flows really well… starting off on a lovely boogie tip but building to something chunkier with original and remixed disco, some house and varied funky vibes. A few classics and some new discoveries in there too. It’s a really nice one, and you’d do well to give it a listen to see what I mean! As always, I'm looking for more mixes, so give me a shout if you wanna get involved - all welcome!

Funkier Session #032 - NTRIK

Next up in my free edit series is another one I've loved forever and wanted to work my magic on for ages - Ring My Bell by Anita Ward. This tune’s obviously all about the lame little boopy sound, but I love the jangly guitars and backing vocals too. Standard Funkier treatment of beefing matters somewhat up and rearranging things - I’ve given it a long and gradual build up to the vocal, messed around with the stems a bit and added some percussion and snippy hi hats to create a nearly 7 minute monster. I think it’s turned out pretty well, and I’m inviting you to download it and enjoy it. Go on, help yourself - click the little shopping cart icon and it's yours for nothing :)

I started this episode slow and slinky, but switched things up halfway to road test a few promos. Tried to keep it a vaguely summery vibe this time, and covered lots of bases as usual.

This fortnight’s guest mix was from Leon Dahl, who’s an ace producer based in NZ that I’ve appeared alongside on some compilations. It also turns out he’s a wicked DJ, as shown by this mix - an hour and a bit of eclectic but very funky sounds. There’s a lot in here but it flows so nicely - there’s funky stuff, old school stuff, ghetto stuff, banging stuff… all the good stuff! And then a genius slowdown at the end - didn’t see that coming. 

Give Leon some love if you will - https://soundcloud.com/leon_dahl https://www.instagram.com/leondahl_aka_leon_d/

Funkier Session #033 - Goozer

My hour was an ‘I’ve just spent a load on Bandcamp and Traxsource, let’s see what happens’ special - only tracks that I’ve just downloaded and don’t really know yet… these ones are always fun and a bit unpredictable. Started at a hip hop tempo and things quickly picked up, it was a fun hour and I cammed in 26 of the little beauties.
Then in hour 2 I was very pleased to hand over to a rising star in the disco scene, Charlie Price. Charlie’s already making big impact at a young age, and this mix shows you why. In the words of Charlie himself…
“My goal for this one is themed! It's Dr Packer Vs Michael Gray and I have chosen this theme because I am due to play alongside them in August in Bournemouth.”
And what a lovely mix it is too - textbook Gray and Packer vibes, which is no bad thing. 
Big thanks to Charlier for a lovely mix, and please give him a follow…
