Trouble Funk Feat Kurtis Blow - Im Chillin (Morlack RE-BEEF) Free DL

We have an EP in the works from Morlack, which will feature a really great Go-Go edit and 2 funk monsters and a future go-go remix from Rockmaster Rus B. To celebrate this announcement Morlack has slipped us this re-beef of "Im chillin" which is nothing ground-breaking, but just a nice hard beat under the original to make it sound a bit more updated for the new club set.

Mr Jelly "Herb" Cult Music Free Limited Time Download

Mr. Jelly (AKA Totalcult) has decided to give away his re-rub of Herbie Hancock called simply "Herb" for free. I loved the song so much I used it to open our mix Jupiter A.M Gold dj mix. Anyway, the whole release is pure class and I have been recently playing out "Vibe Together" as I love the way it bumps. Grab the download below and then check out the whole release as it quite worth checking out.

The fifth release on Cult Music sees disco freak Mr Jelly getting his tapes in a loop with a series of deeply groovy disco and space funk edits. From the sleazy synth vibes of 'Falling In Dub' to the epic slo-mo chug of the Herbie Hancock-sampling 'Herb', this is quality product for discerning dancefloors.

Huh Huh huhhh Kurtis Blow

Kurtis Blow, what can I say that haven't been said about dude. He was one of the Original M.C.'s out of New York to really break out big and become a huge star when hip hop was just breaking. He is way over-sampled, to the point that I never want to hear a "These are the breaks" sample again, ever. He broke big way back in 1979 with Christmas Rappin'. Copycat did a little re-edit of Rappin' Blow, which I posted a link too below, as Im sure the soundcloud will die any minute now. I also included "Party Time", which for me is the best Kurtis Blow song ever. As it featured home-town heroes Trouble Funk on the beat.

AXE - Ghetto Funk Download

Sorry for the delay here at FW HQ, my wife had a baby boy last week and I have just been handling family duties and working on some re-edits and new tunes. Frank and I got up this last weekend and played a great outdoor gig here in DC, it was the closing of the Forward Fest and it was such a wonderful day. The picture is of my daughter dance battling a nice couple, while we drop some Sleeve and Stevie Wonder tunes.

I also wanted to mention we got an EP in the works from Rory Hoy coming out in a little bit, the Kool Hertz EP should be out any day now and The Breakbeat Junkie vs DJP EP on Baffin should be out in 2-3 weeks. These are all super hot EP's, and we are looking forward to putting these out.

Axe has been dropping some ghetto funk heat recently and I thought I would share. Dude kicks it from the land of OZ, and while he isn't doing anything super ground breaking, he does just drop solid bombs that seem to work in a lot of situations. I can drop these in a top 40's ish type set or straight up for the underground.

Lowman New Zealand Funk

After all the craziness in New Zealand I was thinking about this producer I know Lowman, whom lives in Auckland, New Zealand. Also known as Elton McAleer, Lowman is a sample based producer that I have been following for a while. His songs are sample based and I love the way he keeps his production so loose, raw and soulful. I found out about Lowman from his release with Sleeve on Freestyle Records a couple of years back. Back in the day when Myspace was going, he had an account and he would post these really well done tracks and edits. I downloaded 2 Stevie Wonder remixes from him back when he was posting songs on there that are just killer. I have been begging him for years to let me put em out, but it never worked out for whatever reason. Below I posted a link to his newest remix and mash-up he posted on Soundcloud. I suggest you dig up his past releases and dig for his mp3's online, you will thank me later.

Also wanted to say that I hope your well and your peeps are doing okay. Much Respect

Featurecast "Sunshine Boogie" Videos

My boy John Bowen of Video Killers and Empresario's fame, did this first video for the release of Featurecasts record. We love it over here at Funk Weapons HQ. I also noticed some other cat made a little video for it as well, which is funny but not as good as the OG video JB did. Anyway, I'll post up a DL link for you video jocks if I get enough comments on this, otherwise enjoy.

Break Even

The wife and I went out to see Black Swan last night, and we were blown away with it. I really think Darren Aronofsky is one of the best writer / director's out right now. The movie really is an experience beyond just the dialog and images, he somehow takes you into the mind of the lead character and messes with you. So, in honor of such a cool and dark movie I decided to post a darker tune today called "Break Even" from Sketch.

Marvelous Three & Younger Generation - Rappin All Over - Rockmaster Rus B Re-edit (Free Download)

I did this re-edit years ago, and had it just sitting on the studio computer. I actually found this record at Record Land in Calgary back when I was djing there a lot. The copy I got was horrible, but luckly I found a CD comp with this song on it the very next day at Record Land and had something I could use to edit. Anyway, the song is a dope disco rap jam that features Busy Bee on the MIC. I made and intro and outro and cut some bits up, I wanted a shorter version to mix with instead of the original long ass song. The end result has rocked a couple of parties, and as I am told Neighbour said it was the inspiration for "Night Owl'. In fact he called the early version of "Night Owl", Marvelous Master. Well, here you go, I hope you all have a wonderful New Years Eve.

AIM - Concentrate

My hommie Dj Soup was in town recently and we swapped a bunch of music, I ran across an awesome AIM track in this thick pile of music and it made me long for some more AIM. I dug out the record, but figured instead of ripping some music I would see if it was available on MP3. To my pleasure, Amazon had all of his releases and even some for free, so I suggest getting on there and grabbing those. Anyway, Concentrate was a huge song for my crew when it came out. I think we all played this record to death and I sort of forgot about it. Well, I'm glad to say I have it and it's in my crate now for those special occasions when song like this needs to be played. Now it's time to dust off those old Backini songs, which would mix well with this.

Hope your having a wonderful holiday, I know I am enjoying the day off.

Check out this cool edit of Trouble Funk from Sloppy Seconds and this nice short edit of Sardines. Being from the DC area means I got that Go-Go rhythm in my bones, and it was a sweet surprise to find some nice edits up here in Soundcloud. Now it's my turn to get busy on some Go-Go edits for my upcoming edits EP.

Do The Al Naafisyh (Super Dude)

Sometimes you dig through soundcloud and you find nothing, other times you just keep hitting on great stuff. I usually just send myself the links that I think are interesting and give them a listen later when I am home and can really scrutinize them. Well tonight I found two fine remixes courtesy of the artists themselves via soundcloud. Here are the goods, first up we have a cool remix from Mr Fudge, of do the right thing, check out his crews soundcloud page as they have a couple of other interesting downloads you might want to scoop up. Lastly we have an electro remix from Mr. Bird, of Marc Hype and Jim Dunloop's version of Al Naafiysh (The Soul).
