\nGreetings all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome to Part Seven of the\u00a0Funky16Corners 2017 Allnighter\/Pledge Drive aka The Summer of Soul<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"Example\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we have a great selection from Ben Gibson<\/strong> of the Hit, Git & Split<\/strong> and the South London Soul Train.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A few word from Ben:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“As always it’s an absolute huge pleasure to be again involved with The Funky16Corners annual Allnighter \/ Pledge Drive!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben Gibson<\/strong>
\n”<\/p>\n

So dig the sounds, and make sure to click on the Patreon button to help keep the lights on here at Funky16Corners!<\/p>\n

________________________<\/p>\n

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 \u00a0Tarik Thornton, DJ Bluewater and HeavySoulBrutha Dave B.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/a>) , 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<\/em>), 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.<\/p>\n

So please dig deep so we can continue to do the same!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to all the broadcasts and the blogging all of the Funky16Corners and Iron Leg mix archives will continue.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> originating every week as a live broadcast, Thursday nights at 9PM Eastern on MIXLR,<\/strong><\/a> and will continue to be posted as a downloadable podcast every Friday, and broadcast in the UK on Cruising Radio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Iron Leg Radio Show<\/strong> will also move to a monthly live broadcast (day to be determined) also on MIXLR and will continue to be broadcast on Cruising Radio<\/strong> in the UK.<\/p>\n

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

So, download and dig the mix, keep digging the radio shows, and we’ll be back next week with another groovy mix.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure to follow Funky16Corners<\/strong> on Instagram<\/strong><\/a>, Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
