This year, Pres has favored us with a very groovy departure from form, indeed, dropping a hot mix of fuzzed out rock 45s!

It’s a very solid playlist, and those of you that hit up Iron Leg as well as Funky16Corners will flip!

Greetings all!

Today’s mix comes to you courtesy of my man and old-school Asbury Park 45 Sessions compadre DJ Prime Mundo.

In addition to his work as a master chef, Prime is one of the finest selectors I know, with a remarkable ear and impeccable taste.

Back in the day, his sets were always a highlight of the 45 sessions, and he carries on that tradition with his guest mixes.

I know you’ll dig it.

Greetings all!

Today I bring you the first guest mix of the 2015 Allnighter/Pledge Drive, ‘Mo’Soul’ from my man in the UK, Ben Gibson.

First, a few words from Ben:

“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”

So dig it, click on the Paypal button, (Everyone that donates will get the 2015 premiums, including the new badge and a bumper sticker!)and sit back and groove to the sounds. Tomorrow: DJ Prime Mundo!

See you tomorrow.

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!

Keep the Faith
