All Good Funk Alliance

On my current trip to the USA, I went to check out All Good Funk Alliance last night at Eden in Charlotte, NC.

I was absolutely blown away by how good these guys are. They're the epitome of party DJ's, blending funk, hip hop, electro and house into a seemless mix to make you shake your rump (and yes, I did shake mine).

I can honestly say that it's been a very long time since I heard DJ's that play this kind of music that are as good as these guys. It really took me back to the early days of the Big Beat Boutique.

Bailey Tzuke Video Podcast

It's not only funny, but interesting too, and gives you a sneak preview of some of the material from her forthcoming album (obviously).

You can subscribe using this link in the iTunes Podcast section.

Future Funk Squad - Towards The Sun

And so for my first official blog entry I want to talk about Future Funk Squad.

FFS are a highly underrated outfit that are destined for big things. Their debut album "Audio Damage" was released in May 2006, spawning the first single of the same name featuring vocals from MC Mojo and Yolanda. The album is diverse in style, but high quality throughout, both in production and songwriting.

Glen Nicholls, the man behind the creation of Future Funk Squad, is probably best known in clubland for his storming remixes of (among others) Sander Kleinenberg, Prodigy, Stanton Warriors and Lamb, but fans of his clubbier moments should not be put off by the change in style and tempo.

Also appearing on the album are vocalists Tamra, Ben, Gemma Ticehurst, and dance music legend Kirsty Hawshaw.

Their second single from the album is due out on 20th November, entitled "Towards The Sun", which not only features a brand new radio mix, but also a huge remix package for the clubbers out there. Mixes come from Hybrid, Paul Woolford, R3Volve and Evil Nine, the latter of which has become an anthem in breakbeat clubs and beyond around the world.

It's about time.....

Been meaning to start something like this for some time now, so here goes.

Welcome to my blog, which is primarily a place for me to rant about music, good and bad, but mostly good.

I'm pretty new to it all, but will be posting regularly once I've worked it all out.

Hoping that some "like minded people" will get in touch and say hey, hence the name.
