Greetings all.

The Funky16Corners 2018 Allnighter/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul 2 launches this Sunday, June 17th!

As we have done for the past 13 (?!?) years, I come to you asking that if you dig what Funky16Corners does, the weekly posts, Funky16Corners Radio Show, Iron Leg Radio Show, Testify! (my show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio), all of the podcasts/archives and the various and sundry Funky16Corners mix archives (containing literally hundreds of downloadable mixes by myself and some of the finest selectors working today), that you donate toward the upkeep thereof.

There are server space/bandwidth, hardware/software maintenance, and broadcast expenses that have to be taken care of to keep this behemoth of the interwebs rolling, and if you think that is a worthy cause, there are two options.

You can choose to make a rolling/monthly donation via Patreon, or you can click on the Paypal link and make a one time, lump sum donation (all links below). Either way, no matter what you can afford to chip in will be greatly appreciated and it all goes back into Funky16Corners.

The Funky16Corners web zine started in 2000, the blog in 2004, the Funky16Corners Radio Show in 2008, the Iron Leg Radio Show since 2011 and Testify! since May of 2017 and all episodes are available in the archives and as podcasts in iTunes or any other podcast aggregator

This year we will once again offer up 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 DJ Prestige, Ben Gibson, DJ Prime Mundo, DJ RP of Funkdefy, Vincent the Soul Chef, Chris Lujan of the M-Tet, DJ Bluewater, HeavySoulBrutha Dave B. and new contributor, DJ Scott Boyko (with possible DJs yet to be named!).

The pledging will continue this year with 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, which will help cover the ongoing server/broadcast/hardware expenses. This year has seen the move to 100 percent live broadcasting (Mixlr.com/Funky16corners)  and continued hardware and software upgrades at Funky16Corners central, to keep the radio/podcasting experience as seamless and groovy as possible. So please dig deep so we can continue to do the same, and if you’re already a Patreon donor, please accept my heartfelt thanks!

 

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

I am also including a Paypal donation button (below) if you’d rather donate in a lump sum instead of the rolling donation in Patreon.

 

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!

Keep the faith
