Greetings all.

Welcome to Part Ten of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a great selection from my man Tarik Thornton

Tarik’s name and mixes should be familiar to visitors of Funky16Corners. He has been contributing guest mixes – in and outside of the Allnighter – for years, and always brings quality sounds with him.

Though Tarik currently reps the frozen north, he is a son of the Crescent City, and has done some serious digging there (and elsewhere) over the years.

He lays it down on the radio at KRSM in Minneapolis, and on the ones and twos wherever he can.

His contribution to this year’s Allnighter/Pledge Drive is packed from end to end with funky 45RPM heat ( I would expect no less).

So dig the sounds, and make sure to click on the Patreon button to help keep the lights on here at Funky16Corners! Fundraising up to this point has not been very encouraging, so please do what you can. It is as always greatly appreciated.

________________________

We will continue with a new mix every week for the duration of the summer, with a selection of stellar contributions yet to come from some of my (and your) favorite selectors including  a closing mix from yours truly.

The fundraiser will also take a slightly different form this year, moving to Patreon (click here or on the logo below to go to the Funky16Corners page) , where you will be able to spread your contributions out over the entire year (i.e. if you pledge 12 bucks, it doles it out a dollar a month over the course of a year), which will help cover the ongoing server/broadcast/hardware expenses. This year has seen the upgrade of a couple of crucial pieces of equipment, and any help you fine people can provide will keep the machinery moving here at Funky16Corners central.

So please dig deep so we can continue to do the same!

In addition to all the broadcasts and the blogging all of the Funky16Corners and Iron Leg mix archives will continue.

As I have mentioned recently, the changes to the general format here are as thus – The concentration of the operation will continue its shift to podcasting/radio, with the Funky16Corners Radio Show originating every week as a live broadcast, Thursday nights at 9PM Eastern on MIXLR, and will continue to be posted as a downloadable podcast every Friday, and broadcast in the UK on Cruising Radio.

The Iron Leg Radio Show will also move to a monthly live broadcast (day to be determined) also on MIXLR and will continue to be broadcast on Cruising Radio in the UK.

Don’t forget, my weekly radio show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, Testify! is on the air live, every Wednesday night from 10-12. If you dig Funky16Corners and/or Iron Leg I think you’ll dig it. So tune in when you get a chance!
_______________________________________________

So, download and dig the mix, keep digging the radio shows, and we’ll be back next week with another groovy mix.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith

Welcome to Part Nine of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a great selection from my man HeavySoulBrutha Dave B.

Dave is a frequent flier here at the Allnighter, and he always brings the heat.

He hits a lot of my faves in this mix.

First, a few words from HSB:

“BIG THANKS to Larry for asking me to participate in the annual F16C Pledge Drive. ALWAYS very honored! My contribution this year is some of my favorite joints that feature guitar heavy Funk & Soul. Be sure and search out these records if you dig a tune. I’m only highlighting one cut, but most are full of other incredible music you without a doubt need in your ear.

Don’t forget to drop a little donation for the cause while you’re here. This place is truly special and your support is appreciated, not only by Larry, but all of us that come here to discover great music. Peace and SOUL… HSB aka DaveB.”

Greetings all.

Welcome to Part Seven of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a great selection from Ben Gibson of the Hit, Git & Split and the South London Soul Train.

Ben is one of the hottest funk/soul selectors in the UK and burns it up on the reg in two excellent club nights. He has excellent and eclectic taste, which you can see in is playlist.

A few word from Ben:

“As always it’s an absolute huge pleasure to be again involved with The Funky16Corners annual Allnighter / Pledge Drive!

I’m sure you’ll agree with me that without people like Larry Grogan constantly sharing not only his amazing collection but also his passion and wealth of knowledge, this scene wouldn’t be as thriving as it at the moment, so be sure to drop a few in the virtual F16C bucket!

This year I’ve put together for you just shy of 50 minutes of some of the records that have been doing the business both at home and at some of the nights I’ve been DJing at recently.

Enjoy!”

Ben Gibson

Greetings all.

Welcome to Part Six of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a great selection from Chris Lujan of the M-Tet and the Dirty Dirty podcast.

Chris has been working it as a musician, producer and podcaster for a minute now (you’ve heard his stuff on the Funky16Corners Radio Show as well as listened to his mixes in past Pledge Drives) and this year’s mix is another groovy collection of soulful/funky contemporary instrumentals.

A few word from Chris:

“Larry has been a supporter of mine since the beginning of the Lugnut Brand Records label and I can’t thank him enough for that. I was thrilled when he agreed to write the liner notes for The M-Tet’s first LP release, Long Play. So, I’m more than happy to contribute a mix for this year’s Funky16Corners “Summer Of Soul – All Nighter” pledge drive. I didn’t have to dig too far into the crates for this one. In fact, all of this stuff was sitting right on top, some of it fresh from the mailbox. There have been so many great records coming out in recent times that I’ve decided to highlight only releases that have come out this year so far. Not only that, but I also decided to keep things all instrumental. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the instrumentals possibly a fair bit more than their vocal counterparts. Pardon some of the shameless self-promotion on some of these tracks. But, I’ve been blessed with some nice collaborations lately. We’ve also got a debut of sorts here with the debut of a new Leroi Conroy track coming out soon on Colemine Records thanks to Terry Cole. So, here we have “2017 Year in Review – Pt.1 (The Instrumentals)”. Dig!”

Welcome to Part Three of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a great selection from my man Vincent the Soul Chef of Fufu Stew!

First, a few words from Vincent:

“I’ll say this: after following Larry for close to fifteen years now, I’m convinced that it’s not necessarily about what you have in your crate or how much it costs, but it’s all in how you present it. That said, I’m all about presenting everything I have on my website and eventually returning to Mixlr in the not too distant future. In the meantime, I did a complete overhaul of the record rooms, and simply chose to rip these 45s from the comfort of my easy chair in the process, hence the title. Nothing too extravagant, rare or even new in my crates, just some of my all time favourites from the last fifteen years or so. Now if you fancy something a little more eclectic, then please feel free to like my Facebook page, or visit my website and mixcloud profiles… enjoy 😀

__________________________________________________________

Greetings all.

Welcome to Part Two of the Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul!

This week we have a spectacular reggae mix from my man DJ Prestige of Fleamarket Funk.

First, a few words from Pres:

“Any time I get a chance to contribute to the Funky 16 Corners empire it’s a pleasure.  Larry has been an early supporter of me at Flea Market Funk (10 years strong!), record dealer, and most importantly a good friend and confidant.  He’s turned me to to so many good records, sold me good records, and was an integral part of the Asbury Park 45 Sessions crew way back when.  The world we be a much sadder place without the massive contributions he has made with this site, as well as his podcast, radio show, other blogs, live DJ sets and everything else he has put his blood, sweat and tears into.  I know the feeling, the hustle is real (remember that, you will be seeing more on that from me shortly), and with this mix I’ve done for the 2017 pledge drive, I decided to go back to the essence of Jamaica and do an all forty five reggae mix.  Not only did I pick some classic and newer original reggae forty fives, I tried to do my best (without the toasting, although you have no idea how bad I wanted to yell “With a flick of my wrist I make you jump and twist!”) to put a set full of dub echo, delay, reverb and a lot of one turntable needle dropping as a tribute to the sound systems, selectors, and dee jays who kept the beat going and people dancing all night long in JA and the UK.  Reggae music has massively influenced me, and every day I am learning more and more and trying to get as many good reggae when they turn up.  I hope you enjoy listening to  this mix as much as I did creating it.  #DigDeeper people, there is so much beneath the surface, and Larry has showed the world how deep and how good music can be.  One love and maximum respect to the man they call Funky 16 Corners!”

Mix created with two Technics 1200 turntables, a Pioneer DJM-450 Mixer and original reggae 45s.  Nice Up!

-DJ Prestige | 2017

In addition to all the broadcasts and the blogging all of the Funky16Corners and Iron Leg mix archives will continue.

As I have mentioned recently, the changes to the general format here are as thus – The concentration of the operation will continue its shift to podcasting/radio, with the Funky16Corners Radio Show originating every week as a live broadcast, Thursday nights at 9PM Eastern on MIXLR, and will continue to be posted as a downloadable podcast every Friday, and broadcast in the UK on Cruising Radio.

The Iron Leg Radio Show will also move to a monthly live broadcast (day to be determined) also on MIXLR and will continue to be broadcast on Cruising Radio in the UK.

Don’t forget, my weekly radio show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio, Testify! is on the air live, every Wednesday night from 10-12. If you dig Funky16Corners and/or Iron Leg I think you’ll dig it. So tune in when you get a chance!

So, download and dig the mix, keep digging the radio shows, and we’ll be back next week with another groovy mix.

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Keep the faith
