Okay, this is a complicated one...
Back in 2006, Plushgrizzly from Aykaism.ch (now defunct) invited Jon H from Fort Knox Five to play a gig in Switzerland. He recorded the whole evening for a later broadcast on our common radiostation bigbeat.ch (now defunct). I'm not sure, we did ever play it, though... Not even sure if it was ever published in any way.
15 years later, I found this gem on my harddrive and played it during two episodes of my radioshow Eclectix, airing every Sunday, 6pm (cet), on evosonic.de.
First, I didn't want to upload it since I didn't know if it's okay with his friends and family over in DC, but after being asked by FK5 to upload it somewhere public, so they can share it with the world, I guess it is okay... ;)

For those not in the know: Jon H was 1/4 of Fort Knox Five, who died 6 years ago way to early in August 2015. He was an inspiration for way more people all around the world, than he could ever think of and I'm one of them. Thank you, Jon, for everything.

Gramophone Soul Soulful Funky Beats Mixtape Vol. 4 (Tracklist links in description)

Next up on the Guest-mix is the mighty Gramophone Soul @gramsoul

Steve Gramophone will be bringing the pure party vibes with his mix. A 100% Chance you will be on your feet by the end of it! 

Gramophone Soul is renowned for producing funky, soulful, old school rhythms to get the masses grooving and the arses moving. He spends evenings bathing in the light of Aretha Franklin and washing his worries away with Chuck D. Plugging away at music whilst sipping Old Commissioner Scotch, he’s managed to capture the heart and soul of these artists and genres in his style.

This resulted in a whopping library of absolute bangers. In turn he has gained support from some of the music industry's heavy weights. Taste makers such as Krafty Kuts & Craig Charles have been rinsing his riddims resulting in numerous tracks being pumped on the BBC airwaves.

Trunk Of Funk  - BBC Radio 6 Music 25th July 2020

This one’s a subtle blend. Chilled funk, quirky mashups, a few brass sections, breaks and basslines thrown in for good measure. It's sultry, silly and god damn seductive. Enjoy!

Mr No Hands says: "Not sure where to start, I decided to get really drunk and plough through the blogs until I found something sultry, silly and so god damn seductive that everything else could revolve around it.

I don't remember what that track even was, nor much else about that evening, but it didn’t matter. After hours of searching high and down-right-low for frequencies that resonated with me in my drunken stupor, I somehow managed to curate a vibey set of licks.

Like Lady Tigra and Bunny D, you know I like the boom. But this one’s a subtle blend, yes it is. There’s something about these songs. Simple. Lovely. Things. Especially at 4am. I hope they resonate with you too. 

Stay safe :)"
