Classic Afro-funk mixes

I try not to get tooo worked up about things, but the Voodoo Funk mp3 blog has blown my mind. Voodoo Funk's creator lives in Guinea, and picks up classic African funk vinyl records during his travels throughout Africa, then creates hour-long mixes for the blog.

I haven't listened to all 11 mixes yet, but the Cooked from Scratch mix is my favourite so far. It's brilliant, brilliant, rare, soulful, James Brown-style grooves that blow the lid off the party.

Tribute remix to James Brown

mad decent worldwide radio #12

The mad decent podcast is a monthly mix created by Diplo, a dj from Philladelphia that mixes Brazillian ghetto funk with the earliest NYC hiphop.


This 28 minute remix of James Brown tracks was lovingly crafted by guest dj, Cosmo Baker. It's fantastic! The mix could go on for hours, and be even better; James Brown's music is just so innovative and funky!


Subscribe to the mad decent radio podcast for Diplo's monthly 30 minute mix of wild, funky music you definitely haven't heard before.

James Brown, Rest In Peace.
