the new mix! Skank Honto - TGIFunky!

.
last summer I was running a series of monthly events in London called TGIFunky!
months after the events ended I still had a couple piles of records which
never found their way back to their original places in the crates.
rather than just sort them, I decided to throw together a mix of the tunes that
would have been played, and a couple newer ones picked up since then as well.

I'd like to think this set does capture the essence of the events in the sense that it has
some groove that works through some peaks and valleys in energy but comes off really
organic and fun in the end, while being delivered 100% through vinyl.

that said, give it a listen and feel free to let me know what you think!

the Voyd CD Release Party


so next weekend, Friday February 13th to be precise, I'm playing at the Blackshire Pub in London.
it will be much like the old Blackmarket Army events where I'll be playing the beats before/between/after a couple of rock bands.

this event is for the release party of the Voyd's new cd.
here's the facebook event link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=46452402707


I'll be playing some moody downtempo ish at the start of the night, shmoozy drinking music in between, and then some peak hour funk when its all said and done. only $5 and its going to be a great night mixing the rock and funk sounds.

I'll also have copies of my new cd to hand out!
thats right, MY NEW CD!
aka, I've finally recorded something new!
I'll be posting that up for grabs later in the week too so check back soon!
