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:

NAS feat Lauryn Hill - If I Ruled The World (Classi Assi + F.U.N.K. Remix)

Also, if you haven't already copped it, grab our new summer bbq mix:

Chillin' Illin' & Grillin' - Music To BBQ To

Wang Chung - Dancehall Days (Classi's Don't Ignore 84' RMX)

Finally back from 1 month on the road touring and figured I'd drop a remix on the blog. Apologies for no updates - no doubt sure the porn was getting boring.

This one started as an edit of Wang Chung's biggest track in old Blighty but ended up getting a bit fancy. I first heard of the band when I started my days at CJLO as their vinyl catalogue manager, see: clean this shit up. Slept on all the Wang Chung jams there for days, but stumbled upon this one (elsewhere) and fell in love with the saxophone. The saxophone. The saxophone. I emphasize the saxophone. Doesn't happen often.

Link is here.

Salut to all the people I met along the way - lookin good!

See what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?

Basically this is what happens when I end up owning music production software: I end up editing/remixing ridiculous songs. I don't know why. I suppose coming out to see my sets is like one bad joke, but nobody's laughing.

PS Playing at Blue Dog tonight. I do every Thursday for that matter. It's something you have to get off the internet to experience, though getting a 40 oz and huffing nitrous for a night might get close to it.

Nostalgia Remixed

A heavy remix of the classic track "Oh Yeah" by Yello

Also, for a laugh peep djsmack.com, you might see a few MTL celeb dj's of the olypmic persuasion.

sneak peak:

K-Os "Whip C.R.E.A.M." Remix + BONUS!!

(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.

Strutt your filter

Hey, I'm Classi Assi, and I'm using "Trebuchet" as my font setting. A Trebuchet was a medieval siege weapon that operated on a complex sling system, allowing the attackers to hurl large items (rocks, corpses, etc) at their enemies. I know this because I play too many geeky video games.
Also, I am writing in a sort of lime green colour, because I'm zany!
Attached is a beat I made based on a nice little boogie number that I felt needed a bit of sprucing up.
I'm drinking my face off this saturday at Vinyl for Love Disco Night. You should too.
