Everyone can enjoy a three day weekend, whether you go away, or just sit and relax with some much needed down time away from work. I chose the latter this time, but I am ready to go on a mini vacation soon (fingers crossed). I hope everyone’s holiday weekend (to those of you here in the States) was as relaxing and productive as mine. To anyone that has missed the last few posts, I talked about a Funk and Soul Summit with the one and only Funky 16 Corners and FMF, which would ultimately end up as a double podcast. Fueled by Caribbean food from Sister Sues’s, we put together a little two part mix for the people, entitled Beat Combination – Beats and Treats from the Vault. We did the mix live, in one take, and definitely had a great time putting it together. You might notice some familiar (or not so familiar) drops (thank you Pro Tools) throughout, but you know for the first official collaboration we had to come correct.

Here’s the deal: Go on over to Funky 16 Corners and download Part 1. The track listing will also be posted over there. Come back here and download Part 2. Listen. Repeat. Enjoy. We both dug deep into the crates to pull out these records for this special mix. Everything from Rare Grooves, Deep Funk and Soul, Hammond Groovers, some Modern Funk, and a few obscure tracks to keep you moving and grooving while you start your week. (Thank You DJ Bluewater for the Jake Wade and the Soul Searchers 45!!!!) This is the first of many mixes between Funky 16 Corners and Flea Market Funk, so keep your ears open for the next mix. Give us some feedback and let us know what you think. Keep Diggin’!
