__________________________________________________________

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

________________________

We will continue with a new mix every week for the duration of the summer, with a selection of stellar contributions from some of my (and your) favorite selectors including  Tarik Thornton, Ben Gibson, DJ Prime Mundo, DJ RP of Funkdefy, Vincent the Soul Chef, Chris Lujan of the M-Tet, DJ Bluewater and HeavySoulBrutha Dave B.

The pledging 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

Larry

Greetings all 

Welcome back to the Funky16Corners 2016, Allnighter/Pledge Drive.

We start the week with a very special ‘double header’ from the man behind Fufu Stew, Vincent the Soul Chef.

Vincent has been digging, spinning and blogging for a long time. He has excellent taste and instincts about what kind of sounds blend together (and not just in the realm of soul and funk) and the two mixes he brings us today, the Warmup and the Windup are testaments to that fact.

Make sure to set aside a block of time to take these in together because they are more than worth the effort.

And now, a word from the Chef:

“As always, I am honoured… enough said. Now although it was close to ten years ago, I still vividly recall that day in November when I warmed up the revelers at the world famous Asbury Park Lanes, so suffice it to say, I went there again in my mind and on my turntables with this batch of 45s. After a few repeated listens however, and a few trips through the boxes, it mushroomed into a much bigger undertaking, so much so that I had to make TWO batches. Yup. Enjoy.”

Don’t forget to click the Paypal button and donate, and we’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new mix from the founder of the Asbury Park 45 Sessions and the man behind Fleamarket Funk, the mighty DJ Prestige!

Greetings all 

Welcome back to the Funky16Corners 2016 Allnighter/Pledge Drive.

Today I am very proud indeed to present you with a brand new mix from my Asbury Park 45 Sessions compadre, the mighty DJ Prime Mundo.

Prime has deep crates, and I know I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again for the kids in the back of the room, he also has impeccable taste, big (in the figurative sense) ears and always brings something interesting to the table.

In this, his newest mix you get funk, soul, Latin, jazz and a couple of wild cards.

This is a very cool set, and I hope you dig it.

Don’t forget to click the Paypal button and donate, and we’ll be back tomorrow with a new mix from Ben Gibson!

Greetings all.

A while back Steve and Paul of the Night Train radio show (92.3 Sheffield Live in the UK) asked if I’d put together a guest mix for their show.

That mix airs this Thursday, (3/24 11pm GST/ 7pm EST), and you can pick yourselves up a download right here at the blog.

The Night Train guys requested a tight half hour, and that’s what you get, with soul, R&B and Northern sides mixed together for your dancing (and listening) pleasure.

These are all (with a few exceptions) fairly new additions to the Funky16Corners crates, so aside from a play or two in the podcast, they haven’t appeared here before.

So tune into the Night Train, pull down the ones and zeros, and have yourselves a great weekend.

I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Greetings all.

I have a special treat for you all today!

My man Tarik Thornton – frequent guest mix/Allnighter flyer – has returned to the ones and twos and whipped up a very tasty new mix indeed, entitled ‘To Russia With Love’.

It gets its Bond-ish title as it was originally prepared for the Grooves collective in Russia (see the accompanying interview here).

What you get here is a great selection of upbeat, classic-era soul 45s from one of the genre’s preeminent collectors and spinners. I’ve already added a couple of the selections to my want list, so you get that endorsement as well!

It’s always a gas when I get to pass along one of Tarik’s mixes to y’all, so dig in, dig it, and I’ll see you all on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Listen/Download – M-Fasis – Funk’s a Hell of a Drug MP3

Greetings all.

The end of the week is upon us once again, so I will remind you that the Funky16Corners Radio Show will hit the airwaves of the interwebs this Friday night at 9pM on Viva Radio. If you cannot be there at airtime, you can subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device via the TuneIn app, or grab an MP3 here at the blog.

What you see before you is a brand spanking new mix from my old-school Asbury Park 45 Sessions compadre, M-Fasis.

As has been stated in this space many times in the past, M-Fasis is a master crate digger. I always looked forward to see what heat he would drop in his sets. He has great, wide-ranging taste and a fantastic ear for hidden beats and breaks that most people would miss.

His new mix – ‘Funk’s a Helluva Drug’ – is a great collection of grooves. I dig it a lot, and I think you will, too.

So pull down the ones and zeros, and get your listen on.

I’ll see you all on Monday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Greetings all.

This is a very fortuitous week indeed, since thanks to a communique from my man Tarik Thornton (veteran of many Funky16Corners pledge drives and guest spots) we have the second brand new mix of the week!

If you have sunk your ears into any of his previous mixes, you know that Tarik has deep crates and excellent taste, and both are on display in ‘Scattered, Covered, Smothered and Diced’. Here you get just about 40 minutes of very tasty soul jazz and jazz funk, well mixed and served up hot.

I’m digging this one for the second time as I write this, and I think you’ll be giving it repeated plays as well.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll be back on Friday.

Keep the faith

Larry

Greetings all.

Welcome to another swinging week here at the Corners.

I was recently asked by DJ Funkaholic to put together a mix for his This Is Funkaholic! radio show, which airs Saturdays on Radio LeineHertz 106.5 in Hannover, Germany.

‘Give Everybody Some’ is a half hour of tasty, mostly instrumental funk, which aired live this past Saturday (you can listen to the entire show here) . There are a couple of old faves, some things that have appeared here recently, and some groovy new stuff that’ll make it here in the future.

I thought it’d be cool to post it here for those of you that weren’t able to catch it when it aired.

So dig it, and I’ll see you all on Wednesday.

Keep the faith

Larry

____________________________________________________________________________

Greetings all.

I’m dipping back into the archives today for another favorite mix of mine.

I put together ‘Beneath the Planet of Funky16Corners’ back in 2007 for the Souled On on blog.

As you’ll see once you pull down the ones and zeros, I was in a pensive mood at the time, and while things are soulful and occasionally funky, they also fall on the quieter side of the spectrum, best listened to mellowed out with the lights down low.

This was always a fave of mine (i.e. one that I listen to on my own time, frequently) not only because I dig its component parts so much, but also because they fell together pretty nicely as well.

So dig it, and I’ll be back on Friday with something cool.

Keep the faith
