Listen/Download DJ RP of Funkdefy – Pre-Funked

Greetings all!

Today’s mix comes to us from my man DJ RP of Funkdefy, Ohio.

First, a few word from the DJ:
“I have been doing Funkdefy in Columbus, Ohio for 10 years now. It has always been a lot of fun, regardless if it’s a handful of people hanging out or a packed dance floor. Over the years I’ve had the incredible honor of hosting several special guest DJs and touring bands, and I’ve been blown away every month by a crew of devoted DJs and vinyl collectors who all have brought in something unique and incredible that have always made Funkdefy what it is. When you have been doing it this long though, it’s easy to find yourself falling into a groove with the same hot tunes and 45s you find as your personal favorite. It’s easy to forget what you started with. What was that bridge, that transitional time, which got you to where you are now? I didn’t really think about it until recently. So I dusted off the LPs that have been neglected for too long and came up with a track list that brought me to the door of Funk-N-Soul. These were some of the earliest tracks I dropped when I first started spinning on a DJ set. They may not be the hottest, or rarest, or funkiest, but it was my starting point. This was my gateway. This is when I was Pre-Funked. “

So, dig the sounds, make sure to click on the Paypal button, and stay tuned for more!

Tomorrow: Heavy Soul Brutha!

“I’m sure that those of you that drop by Funky16Corners regularly will all agree that Larry is a huge cornerstone (pardon the pun!) of our scene! I’ve been visiting this great site for years now and I’ve lost count of the many great records that I’ve been hipped to from Larry often resulting in a hurried and sometimes feverish spending spree, ask my bank manager, I’m sure he could tell you!

I urge you all to continue to support this great resource of information and music so Larry can carry on sharing his great collection and knowledge with us!

It’s a massive honour to have been asked to contribute, so here’s 50 minutes of the good stuff from my playbox for your listening pleasure!

Enjoy!

Ben”

Greetings all!

Welcome to the 2015 Funky16Corners Alnighter and Pledge Drive.

This is the annual MP3 fete in which yours truly and a gathering of my favorite selectors present you with a series of brand new mixes (in a variety of styles) in the hope that you’ll dig deep and throw something in the pot for the Funky16Corners yearly operating budget (server space/bandwidth etc).

As always, Funky16Corners.com brings you new posts every week, as well as maintaining an archive with literally hundreds of mixes, as well as over 250 episodes of the Funky16Corners Radio Show Podcast.

This time out there are some killer mixes, which will spool out, one every weekday for the next few weeks.

I have created two brand new Northern Soul mixes for this year’s Allnighter, which will open and close the ceremonies.

This first mix, ‘Soul Party Vol1 – A Lot of Love’ packs a grip of my dance floor favorites into 45 minutes of pure listening pleasure. There are some old faves, some recent acquisitions, some long-time white whales finally harpooned, all of them upbeat and primed for the dancers in the crowd!

Over the next few weeks you will see a ton of new mixes from some of the best selectors out there, all new, all excellent and all ready to download.

Every day you’ll also see a Paypal/Donate button (see below) which you can click on to give to the cause!

So dig it, click on the Paypal button, and sit back and groove to the sounds from my friends Ben Gibson, DJ Prime Mundo, DJ Prestige, Tarik Thornton, Chris Lujan, Vincent the Soul Chef, DJ Bluewater, DJ RP of Funkedfy, and Heavy Soul Brutha!

Everyone that donates will get the 2015 premiums, including the new badge and a bumper sticker, as well as a ‘classic’ Funky16Corners sticker or two as long as supplies last!

See you tomorrow with a new mix by Ben Gibson!
