It’s only gonna take the first few seconds of this remix from, Jamie Berry, before a massive smile spreads across your faces. He’s put a vintage swing spin on Little Roy‘s Reggae cover of Nirvana‘s ‘Lithium’ and if you thought you’ve listened to feel good music before, wait till to you check this infectious nugget of gold. Happiness awaits…

Minnesota based producer, DJ Blue Funk, is a huge admirer of the Italian band, Funkallisto and their Afro Funk approach to music. He digs their sound so much that he decided he needed to put his spin on one of their tunes. He chose Funkallisto’s cover of ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ by, Average White Band, and as he’s a lover of Breakbeat, crisp, fresh and clean broken beats are added to the funky horns that remain from the original. Super groovy stuff I’m sure you’ll agree.

As a memeber of the Australian collective Decades and an avid music hunter, The dL’s time is often filled up with great times. When he takes a break from both of those, he loves nothing more than putting together edits using some of the classic Funk, Soul and Disco tracks he’s discoverd on his searches. The dL is in the process of uploading quite a few of his old edits, the first being this one of Hidden Strength‘s ‘Hustle On Up (Do The Bump)’. It’s a very classy piece of work and with more to come like this, great times are ahead for us all!

This mix was recorded LIVE by BBC Radio and aired back in 2008 along with a bunch of other mixes on the famous Annie Nightingale Radio Show. I personally ripped, downloaded, bypassed the BBC Radio Player at that time for this mix. Breakspoll was a very special event back then and was the highlight of the Breaks scene throughout the world.

Next up are Breakbeat guru’s Atomic Hooligan LIVE with a 9 piece band at Fabric Nightclub 2008.
