Skank Honto - Big Room Sounds

this mix is part 2 of my 80 minute promo cd that I've been giving out. the first 47 minutes was focusing more into the nu-funk sounds of low to mid speed tempos, the straight up funky stuff I play in the the smaller venues and lounges. you can check it here: http://skankhontomixes.blogspot.com/2010/02/skank-honto-its-nu-funk-thang.html

this portion here is 33 minutes of some of my favourite big room breaks tunes I've been caning in the clubs, including one of my own tunes and re-rubs as well. expect big bass, electro sounds, and crisp breakbeats.

so here is 18 tracks thrown down in 47 minutes on two Technics 1200's and a Pioneer CDJ-1000 that showcase some of the names who are bringing some freshness to the funk, aka Nu-Funk.

Skank Honto - TGIFunky!

party rocking funky beats and breaks. don't skip this one.

.

the previous summer I was running a series of monthly events in London called TGIFunky!

months after the events ended I still had a couple piles of records which

never found their way back to their original places in the crates.

rather than just sort them, I decided to throw together a mix of the tunes that

would have been played, and a couple newer ones picked up since then as well.

I'd like to think this set does capture the essence of the events in the sense that it has

some groove that works through some peaks and valleys in energy but comes off really

organic and fun in the end, while being delivered 100% through vinyl.

Lost In Thought (chilled out, chinstroking breakbeats) by Skank Honto & Ian Cognito

this is somewhat of a concept mix for us, as we wanted to make a mix for the chilled out listening environment.
after some crate digging to pull together a collection of recent tunes, older gems, and all around beautiful pieces of music, we resulted with 19 tunes and an accapella thrown into just under 80 minutes of chilled out, chinstroking beats.
