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.

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.

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.

Bit later than planned, here’s a new mix. I’d been working on this for a few weeks but just hadn’t managed to find the time to record it until now. It’s another epic mix, the longest one so far with 47 or so tunes over three and three quarter hours and goes from 93 bpm up to 140 bpm with a mix of various styles and of old and new. If the 310 mb file is too big to download in one go you can also download it in three parts (each of which can work as a standalone mix).
