I was listening to a few classic Britfunk tunes last week so I thought I’d do a little tribute mix. For those unfamiliar with the genre it was the name associated with uptempo soul, disco, jazz-funk and boogie out of Britain from about the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s although it wasn’t until Hi Tension arrived on the scene in 1978 that the term itself took hold. Although much of the output resembled the American music that was the most prominent inspiration, there are other influences specific to Britain that set it apart. From the Caribbean heritage of many of the artists involved to the crossover effect of a smaller, less segregated music scene, the sound incorporates influences from Reggae to Punk to Jazz.

Got a new mix for this month and I hope to get one or two more done before the month is out. This one starts at 113bpm, goes up to 128bpm and has a mix of house, jazz funk, broken and acid and clocks in just under the two hour mark

I have two mixes for this month. The second one is more uptempo and house orientated, this one is midtempo and funk orientated and kicks off with Liquid Love by the great Freddie Hubbard who passed away recently

I have a new mix for this month, starting out with some 90bpm beats, some boogie, balearic, deep house, acid, techno, broken beats and finishing off at 140bpm/70bpm. Did this one at 320 again which explains the large file size. I’ll do a 192 version for those with slower connections/limited storage space.

Got round to doing this one last night. Shorter than usual but still with a few different styles: Funk, House, Boogie, Broken Beat and Techno from 113 bpm to 127 bpm. I recorded it at 320 by mistake so sorry about the large file size

Ok, I got a chance to lay down part two of the April 08 Mix Selekshan, so here are parts 1 & 2 together. As I posted below, part one goes from 115 to 122 bpm with funk, house, balearic and old school. Part two has a few more different styles: deep, broken, techy, brazilian and disco mostly at about 125bpm

Did this last night. Was going to be a much longer mix but I started recording it at 320k by mistake and I thought I’d cut it after an hour or so and do the next part later. Tempo goes from 115 to 122 and there are a couple of Old School and Balearic joints in there: I’ve really been into the Chaz Jankel tune recently and the little guitar bits in the second half of the John Daly reminded me of 1980s rock which suggested the Chris Rea and even though they’re not in the same key, the chords from Josephine reminded me of Tears which leads onto some deep house… Next part coming soon.
