new mix for download
Here's my latest release for your aural pleasure (I said aural - get your mind out of the gutter). Feel free to spread it around. I'm actually going to be working on a way to distribute this mix internationally so if anyone needs a real CD version of this, I'll keep you updated.
Funkscendental Meditation - 43 records of funk from all across the board featuring some of Vancouver's best and brightest MCs and vocalists. Hip-hop, midtempo breaks, downtempo, old-school funk, bboy breaks, exclusive blends, scratching and a few other surprises mixed on 2 Technics and a Pioneer DJM-707.
This mix has been 2 months in the making with countless hours in the studio to get all the vocals recorded properly (HUGE thanks to ill-esha and her boy Symmetrik for all the time spent engineering the vocals and mastering the mix).
