Mix 03 - Funk Revival

Another mix, well overdue.

Here's one to show that real funk is still alive and kicking.

A longer one than usual gathering tunes that could be branded as Nu Funk, Funk Revival and some other third thing.

With a hint of Afrobeat and Soul too!

All songs...I think.. are from the last 10 years or so.

Mix 02 - Blue Note Mix

Mix No. 2.

About 8 years ago I was given some Blue Note compilations on vinyl, so I wiped the dust off the old pioneer stereo, and the record player was still in good nick.
I played these records for a few weeks and really started loving this sound that was new to me.
I gotta say not every song on them was great but each disc had a few gems that have been favourites of mine ever since.

Here's about an hours worth of some of those songs I love, picked from a few different blue note compilations. (The 'Capitol Rare' series, the 'Blue Break Beats' series, Blue Juice, Blue Funk etc.)

It's a pretty laid back mix so put yer feet up and enjoy.

Mix 01 - Reggae-Ska-Rocksteady

Righto,

My first mix and here it is.

Actually made this one earlier on in the year for something else, but it still does the job

A pick of some of my favourite reggae style tunes, mostly oldies of the roots, ska, rocksteady nature.

Influenced mostly by studio one releases, trojan compilations and random songs I've come across.
