Nothing brings people together more than funky music!  For the inaugural Funk Parade in 2014, local DJ and funk producer Qdup crafted a banging Funk Parade promo dj mix which now has over 22,000 streaming plays.  The Funk Parade is back on May 2nd, 2015 and will be bigger and better than last year, and likewise Qdup has delivered another promo DJ mix to get DC into a funky groove.

The fifty minute Funk Parade 2015 Promo mix includes rare and exclusives remixes of classics by Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Sly & The Family Stone, Etta James and many more, offering something for everybody.  The mix also features Funk Parade PSA’s by DC’s own Edy Blu, Mustafa Akbar of Nappy Riddem and Fort Knox Five and Elin of Alma Tropicalia.   As if all of this were not enough, Qdup has graced this dj mix with two unreleased exclusive tunes being premiered for the first time.  Local dj duo All Good Funk Alliance have recorded a brand new tune, Make It Go-Go featuring Big Tony of Trouble Funk.  And Qdup included his forthcoming Funk & Dance single featuring Mustafa Akbar, coming out in May on DC’s own Fort Knox Recordings.

The fine folks at Scour Records are once again on the scour for new mid-tempo goodness. They didn’t have to look hard for their latest #freemix. COCKNEY NUTJOB does some mighty fine work and here’s a fine example.

Sampling Nina Simone, here’s a cut where you can give your jazz hands a rest and simply get down. With the chunky enzyme breaking down barriers, here’s a tune that will get those feet shuffling.

KAST3L- GOT TO BE REAL [SPANKY PANK]

This breathtaking Breaks track was snapped up by, Elliptical Sun Recordings, just over a year ago and with a fresh remaster it’s back out doing the biz! Although quite dark and gritty ‘ Samurai Lake ‘ by Lowfreak is incredibly atmospheric with it’s progressive flow. A real heart racer this one!

This is Nova Gain Records latest EP featuring the Hungarian Funkateers The Uptown Felaz. The four track EP features their latest tune ‘Now You Know’ with vocalist Mc Kyla. The original got remixed by Nova Gain Records’ own Mr. Konfuze who gave the track a boogie-funk-breakbeat treatment, second remix is by the breakbeat matador Kid Panel and last but not least a remix version by house expert Jaffa Surfa who gave the track a brilliant dance floor twist.

Electro-swing? Fancy getting down the new, underground sound? Then this live mix by  Lancashire’s Mr Somuch should get you buzzing! Kicking things off is an electro-swing version of ‘Rage Against The Machine: Killing In The Name of’ and starting on that high it keeps getting better and better…with vocals a plenty from hip-hop to sounds that get you jazzing all the way back to the ’30’s, we are entertained by Shirley Bassey, Bill Haley, Frankie Valli and many more….

Wow! Just over 4 years and 50 shows in … where has the  time gone! To celebrate we have a man on the guest slot who’s been gaining notoriety with his unique blend of tech and progressive house – Ben Coda. With big releases on labels such as Lot49 he has picked up massive support worldwide and his energetic DJ sets have been rocking crowds around the globe. Ben is also one half of the psychedelic techno live act Nanoplex.

From myself … I have decided to do another Punks vs U&A special with a one on, one off throw down of tunes from 2 of my favorite labels. Breaks and tech-funk at its best! Enjoy folks …
