LOVE DISCO STYLE One Year Anniversary!

It's been a year since intrepid, handsome and modest dj's Bain Magique and yours truly, F.U.N.K. began bringing supple funk and boogie grooves to the people of MTL.

Countless sweaty dance floors and vodka soda's later we are happy to celebrate our one year anniversary with special guest the OG RUBY JANE! This lady brings the funk on the regular to spots all over the east, and in our minds, is a pillar of the funk scene in MTL - NOT TO BE MISSED!

If you are in the city this Saturday, June 27th, then come celebrate the FUNK at Vinyl Lounge, 2109 Bleury - 10pm. No Cover.

Here's the Facebook ish: Smile!

Plus a little gift from me to y'all:

Notorious B.I.G. - Party & Bullshit (F.U.N.K. Disco Blend)

Power + Money = Happiness

Classi Assi & I felt that this classic needed a breath of fresh air:

sneak peak:

LOVE DISCO STYLE MIX SERIES #1: Love Will Find a Way

Aw yeah, it's time for the first Love Disco Style mix: "Love Will Find A Way"

I rounded this mix out in two wine soaked afternoons of holiday downtime.  I was really feeling the female vocal boogie for the first twenty minutes or so of the mix, then it digresses into funkier territory, getting down with Dionysus, hitting the hedonism, and finally getting happy and emotional - it's a lot like getting drunk really... whatever it is, it sure is funky!

Enjoy it here!!

(Don't Believe the Hype)

Trains, planes and automobiles - no more busses!  Yep thats right, F.U.N.K. is movin up in the world!  After taking the train back to MTL after a blustery winter weekend in Ontario, I'm hooked!  Plugging in your laptop, sitting back and stretching your legs - aww bliss.... never mind the $5 bag of chips and $2 coffee.

This little remix is a direct result of the newfoundleisureland that is the train.  I entered the track into a contest just for fun (and because I'm proud of the production) so please show your support and vote while listening to the track!

Check it: here!

And as a thank you for voting, and as a segue from Assi's post, here's that Mavado Badman Place Remix:  Badman Place - ( F.U.N.K.'s Kicked in the Face Remix)

Merry Kwansismukka and to all a good night!

F.U.N.K. out.

Head Over Heels

This is a song for those of you who've fallen for someone; you feel vulnerable and happy, calm yet afraid, excited but cautious - yeah you know.

This song is based on a sample She's So Divine by The Limit, but it's pretty chopped up. 

I hope all y'all have a fantastic holiday!

F.U.N.K. out!

Here's the track: Head Over Heels - F.U.N.K.

Carmen - Time To Move F.U.N.K. Edit

Hey sorry for the lack of posts as of late, things have been super busy around town. Big things are in the works - I'll keep you posted....

Here's a great song by Carmen called Time To Move (1983).  This is a great example of early 80's boogie funk production, and the vocals are inescapably catchy.  I basically shortened the song into a bite sized morsel, added a mixable intro,  some dynamics to the drums, and made the breakdown/build pack a little more punch.  

I've got to shout out to BEAT ELECTRIC, an amazing blog that has been a major source of music for my sets recently - good work guys! I grabbed Time To Move from there a few weeks ago and have been playing it out ever since.

Check the edit here

Also check out CJLO.COM this Tuesday from 12pm - 2pm for my radio show,  Go Funk Yourself with my co-conspirator, Classi Assi.  This week we've got DR ONE of Team Canada fame throwing down and makin people go bananas so tune in for the madness... If you miss it, a podcast is in the works, but more on that later.

F.U.N.K. out.

Gwen Guthrie Edit
