Due to other music commitments, the Hong Kong Ping Pong guys don’t find many opportunities to drop one of their now legendary mixtapes, but when they do it’s really time to sit up and take notice! As long time fans of HKPP will know and as it clearly states, this is a mixtape, so if this is our first time checking out these get ready to be taken on genre hoping magic carpet ride. The chop and change of direction and tempo is seamless as always and because of that, you cannot wait to see what’s coming around the next corner. With no indication that this mix was on the way, this Thursday has taken a surprising and very welcomed turn for the better.

**Please be aware that if you have children, this mix contains explicit language in the intro, so a listen while they’re around, might lead to some very awkward questions**

Fort Knox Five are back at the helm of their ‘Funk The World‘ mix series, after letting Lack Jemmon and Trotter take over the previous two and it’s back to business as usual. The mix begin with smooth funky vibes but soon peps up with some equally funky chunky Midtempo Breaks. A touch of Vintage Swing and Disco is also added, just in case things wasn’t already funky enough for us. First class stuff as always from these guys and they’ve dropped it just in time so we can all enjoy it on a Sunday afternoon. Now that’s what you call good timing!
