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.
