Funkier Radio

Show two of 2024 felt like a good one. My selection was mainly oldish stuff, taking in vintage funk and disco, filthy basement club vibes, garage, hip hop, house, a little balearic tangent and a couple of new bits from myself. In hour two it was my great pleasure to welcome Rose Corps on to the show. Rose’s mix is wonderfully eclectic, which is exactly what I try to make my show - so her mix fitte...

Kicking off 2024 with a full two hours of me, since the guest mix I had planned didn’t arrive in time. So it was me for hour 1 with a selection of stuff I’ve recently added to my collection, then me again in hour 2 with a mix I did for Empire Radio a couple of months back on a mostly afro-inspired, jazzy tip. Hope you enjoy! HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Mr- Fingers - What About This Love- (Dub Version) 2 St...

This first hour of this episode was about two things - firstly the Discoholics Anonymous 4 compilation, that I’m featuring on alongside a load of amazing producers. I played my track and some of the other, much better tracks on there. The second focus was celebrating the music of the late, great Amp Fiddler, who we sadly lost recently. His tracks have been regulars in my shows and mixes, and I pla...

Took my time this episode, mixing in 23 mostly old tunes over the course of an hour and a quarter. Finished with some nice hidden disco gems. My guest this time was Guy Mitchell, who also goes by the name The Funky Soul Guy. His 45 minute guest mix showed us why - a fast moving stomp through some very nicely mixed disco house belters. Big thanks to Guy, and please give him a follow on Instagram -...

Started this one at a quick old tempo to cram in a few new bits from me, then took things down, then up, then down again - for that is the Funkier sounds way. All sorts of genres covered too… for that is the Funkeir Sounds way! Anyway, hour 2 was a lovely treat - I welcomed Ben Adams AKA GMGN. UK born but based out in Boston these days, I’ve been a fan of Ben’s mixes and productions for a while no...

My hour in this episode was mostly made up of stuff I’ve recently downloaded. I love these episodes because you never know where they’re going to go next, and there were plenty of twists and turns as I flipped through the genres and gradually cranked up the pace. Hour two was a high energy affair, with a mighty fine guest mix from Matthew Marshall, AKA Marshall (UK). Matt brought us some high grad...

Excuse a couple of technical gremlins in the first bit of this show, happens to the best of us. Anyway, once I got the mic sorted I was up and running with a slightly rebranded show - now called Funkier Sounds. I was all over the place in my bit of the show, covering obscure disco, red hot edits, soulful house, weird funky bits, and since our guest mix this time was only 45 mins I used my extra 15...

Just me on my own this time, as I didn’t get anyone to do the guest mix in time. I was mixing live for the first hour, then I handed over to… well, myself, for a mix that I recorded a few weeks back for a competition. I didn’t win, but I didn’t want it to go unheard by the rest of the world so it seemed a good opportunity to get it out there. Lots of older music across both hours, but a new one fr...

I bloody enjoyed this episode! As usual I crammed in a few promos alongside the eclectic mix in hour 1. In a departure from my usual ways, I slowed things right down in the last 15 mins… to make way for my guest this fortnight, J-Felix, who started his guest mix with a generous slab of hip hop. I saw J-Felix DJ earlier this summer at a day festival in Crystal Palace Park which was headlined by Sis...

Back live on NDC for this episode after my holidays, and started off fast paced with my new vinyl release that’s out on Moiss Music now. I soon slowed things back down for some slinky and funky grooves, then picked it back up to bring you brand new music from Discoholics Anonymous, Lisztomania… and an exclusive copy of the first ever edit from last fortnight’s guest - The Funk Assassin! The second...

This one was a cheeky prerecord when it went out on NDC, as I was away on my holidays! Started things off pretty banging this time, then slowed down, then sped back up. A few new bits from me in there too. In the second hour I handed over proceedings to The Funk Assassin, who gives us a lovely funky mix featuring Cerrone, Alan Dixon, Folamour, Purple Disco Machine and more. Tasty vibes! Please sho...

Oooh, this episode was a fun one. For the first hour I started slow and picked up the pace in chunks, getting rather damn funky for a while. The second half hour was almost all new promos, with some rather delicious selections… but never going above 120BPM. In hour 2 I was thrilled to welcome Nova Funk back to the Funkier Radio controls. Nova Funk guested on my show a few years back under a differ...

In the second hour of this fortnight’s show it was my pleasure to welcome Jade Edwards, a talented young DJ from Liverpool. I met Jade recently when DJing up in Manchester for the Good Custard lads. Jade was on just before me and really impressed me with her tune selection, mixing skills and energy behind the decks. I just had to invite her on for a mix, and we’re treated to a fantastic hour of hi...

I was pleased to be able to drop a few of my newly finished, as yet unsigned creations in this show, been a bit of a quiet patch on the production front for a while so it’s nice to get some stuff finished at last. Widely changing BPMs once again in my hour, plus a little technical hitch near the end that I partially edited out. My guest for the second hour was DJ E9. E9 is a versatile producer and...

Between me and my guest we covered a pleasing 42 tracks in two hours on this episode, with 20 quick fire bangers from me in the first 60 minutes - leaning heavily on some stuff I’ve downloaded very recently but spanning the ages as usual. My guest this time comes from Rotterdam. Lenzz is a Dutch DJ who has his own long-running show Lenzzie’s Nu-Grooves. He’s been a frequent supporter of my tracks...

The usual mix of oldies and newsies in the first hour, working up to some new bits that have found their way into my collection. No chat this week due to technical issues, so none of my voice ruining the excellent tracks for once. It was my pleasure to hand things over to Lyle Sutherland for the second hour. Lyle is, like myself, on the line up for Westival later this summer, and it’s going to be...

Twenty fine tunes from across the decades, genres and BPMs crammed into hour 1 this time, then I hand things over to Brighton-based DJ and producer Dean Playford AKA Eldeanyo for a high energy hour 2. Big tunes, pumping basslines and some nice housed up versions of lovely tunes. Show Dean some love won’tcha - https://www.instagram.com/dj.eldeanyo https://soundcloud.com/dean-playford-215229103 HOUR...

The first hour featured two new tracks from me, plus dope sounds from Fingerman, Pete Ellison, Scruscru, Bootsy Collins and a load more. Hour two was all about Schoon Jr., a London-based DJ who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times recently. Frenchman Julien is the UK ambassador of theBasement Discos - one of the finest labels around, and you can catch him spinning tunes all around th...

I covered lots of ground in hour one, with some slow smooth balearic grooves, classic soulful cuts, boogie funk, some weirdness, some global beats and two brand new bubblers from myself. Hour 2 was a real treat, with a wonderful guest mix from Jamie Oyebode, co-founder of The Soulstice Collective, who spins under the alias Jamie Joy. The Soulstice Collective is an amazing movement that uses music...

A funky assortment from me in hour 1 with the usual selection of new and old, fast and slow, groovy and groovier… a couple of new bits from myself in the first hour too, and as an added bonus I had some tech issues so there’s not much of me talking! Hour 2 is all about Niall Martin, creator of top London night Disco Jukebox, who I’m thrilled to have on the show. This up and coming London DJ Niall...

Lots of lovely tracks stuffed into the first hour, with some funky oldies in the first half and an increasingly fast paced second half, culminating in a couple of new bits from myself right up at about 130 BPM. In the second hour it was my immense pleasure to welcome along the lovely Pedro from Lisbon with an excellently funky hour of tunes. Pedro came to the rescue when my planned guest let me do...

I crammed twenty tracks into the first hour of this episode, swinging wildly around the BPMs as usual with some promos, some oldies and a bit of hip hop. In hour 2 I was pleased to welcome Burnout Sumner from Berlin for a beautifully eclectic guest mix… For the past ten years Norman (DJ alias Burnout Sumner, a nod to one of his all-time heroes) has been a vital part of Berlin’s music scene, mainly...

For my hour I started slow and wound things up to some ferocious disco towards the end, finishing on a work in progress demo from myself. In hour two Late Night disco delivered a super smooth hour of funky grooves, a real treat for your ears! Late Night Disco is a DJ duo based in Hackney, London. For the past 8 years, they have been filling dance floors up and down the country, bringing their love...

My fortnightly foray into the depths of my music collection with a choice selection of sounds from across the genres, decades and BPMs. And it was my pleasure to welcome on Dez La Rock with a sumptuous love-themed guest mix, just in time for Valentine’s Day! Big thanks to Des! https://soundcloud.com/dezlarock HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Raw DMX, Greg Wilson - Do It To The Funk (Greg Wilson Re-Edit) 2 JKriv...

My show has turned 100 episodes old! That's 100 hours of me gibbering away over my favourite tracks, and 100 guest mixes covering the whole funky spectrum. Episode 100 continued this trend - lots of my current and former faves in the first hour, then an absolutely sublime mix from one of the best DJs out there, Delfonic from Berlin. Markus' mix is a very classy affair, laden with lots of his own e...
