Episode 30 sees me sticking around the 110 BPM kinda level for the first half an hour, with wonderful sounds from Midnight Star, Graham Central Station, Average White Band, Tom Browne, Leon Bridges and Dr Packer. After slowing things down for a bit for some deeply funky grooves I then crank it up with a couple of housier cuts towards the end. As always it’s a musical meander with plenty of twists and turns.
In hour 2 it’s my absolute pleasure to hand over to the very talented Jeff Fader for an exclusive hour of expert selections. This mix is a good one - strong funk vibes throughout, starting with some rare groove and worldwide sounds and building the pace towards some cracking disco and boogie tunes towards the end. I highly recommend you check this one out.
Jeff’s the owner of the Fade to Funk label and events series, and does brilliant MPC livestreams which are well worth a watch. And please show some support to Jeff and Fade to Funk by visiting any or all of these links...
