The end of the Summer is bringing all kinds of mix madness here at Flea Market Funk. I had a a review of the Whatnauts featuring the Whatnaut Band doing “Message from a Black Man”, but that is going to drop on Friday. What we have here family is a special treat. Scholar over at Souled On asked me to to contribute to his guest mix series a little while back. Being a fan of the blog, there is no way I could refuse. When I did this mix, I had it in my head that I wanted to do a mix that means somethin’. All in my head, I heard those Pharcyde lyrics on permanent repeat. I then looked at the unorganized mountain of 45’s I had and started digging through them ( Fortunately that said mountain is now organized ). I chose 17 sides that mean somethin’ to me. Nothing deep, I just feel good about these records. Some of them are from new digs, others I have been sitting on, waiting for a mix just like this to use them for, while 3 are reissue records. As a whole, they all mean somethin’. I’m sure that when each of these artists were writing, recording, and performing, each one meant somethin’ to them in their own special way. Let me just say I’m honored to do a mix for Souled On, and I’m hoping this is the first of many collabos we do together. So check out: Somethin’ That Means Somethin’: Flea Market Funk Guests at Souled On Music . This is an all 45 rpm mix.
