Mashup

Romano Gemini is a mashup hero. Check out this page for over 2 hours of different and entertaining mashups. Not the usual mainstream zzzzzzzzzz. Example tune below ;)

Renegade Master - A.D.O.R. vs. Spark Arrester & Mishkin (Romano Gemini Mashup)

Twingly

Fukuyama with a new funky house track... It has twingly™ bits. And it's a free download too.

At the Foot of Koumoriyama

Can you handle it?

Liked this tune from Casino Times for ages, but only got round to nabbing it last night. I particularly like this kind of house. Great track this.

That's The Truth

The Marion Gaines Singers

I know next to nothing about The Marion Gaines Singers, so sorry no info to share, just tunes. Been listening to them a bit last couple of days. Mixture of plain funky and gospel type stuff. Unfortunately the youtube vids are fairly poor quality, so I've only linked a couple. Though we can be thankful for Scratch and Sniff throwing down this gorgeous edit of:

Do Your Thing


If that tickles your bits then try these out too..

The Man


Lord Hear My Plea

A mix.

Today how about a mix from the mighty Mr Sam Redmore? Yes, yes I think so.

Best film soundtrack ever

Somebody needs to do something of a ghettofunk-electro-blues-gospel type arrangement with this gorgeous bit of music. Skeewiff I am looking at you ;)

Somebody's Callin' My Name

 It's from the film Crossroads (not the Britney shite), a movie that everyone into music should purchase for it's gorgeous soundtrack, predominantly written by Ry Cooder. By far my favourite film soundtrack of all time, which I know is a rather bold statement. It's a good film too and yes it does have the karate kid in it :P

Here's a couple more examples from it :)

Viola Lee Blues


Willie Brown Blues

Joe Seneca was a legend. Damn... so good :)

A mate posted this tune up earlier which got me thinking about it :) The Meters are one of the most influential funk bands of all time, you can hear their FUNK echoing through... well, like everyone ;) And I have no idea how many samples they've provided, more than lots.

Immense tune from 1973 and an all time classic, this is The Meters with:

Just Kissed My Baby

Godly

Skeewiff, love 'em I do, fookin love 'em. Here they're working some magic on an old gospel number.

Skeewiff & The Soul Stirrers - I Want To Rest


I've been listening to a fair bit of this style of gospel remixing goodness lately, checking out the originals where possible. For this one I'm having trouble finding the original anywhere online other than this which is pretty poor quality unfortunately.

Technically I posted this yesterday...

...so sue me.

There are many tunes I could select for the stand out track on the Ghetto Funk Icons volume 3 sexiness, but personally I think this is probably the one. It grabs a tune we all know intimately and then takes it somewhere totally different, it's inventive yet somehow remains true to the originals vibe. Absolutely love the way it starts rolling and then as Easy kicks in properly the combination of vocals is sublime.

Easy (Funkanomics Remix)

Ghetto Funk: The Icons Volume 3

Ok so that's Christmas and New Year done, hope ya'll had a good one! Now back to work and stuff. ;)

Ghetto Funk Icons Volume 3 is out and free. It's a must have. LOADS of tracks, all quality. This latest volume, with 2 hours of free tunes was a result of the folks at at GFHQ inviting 35 of the best artists to remix a classic iconic tune... Link here
