Funk in the Trunk

(FUNK/BREAKS/DRUM'N'BASS)

Yo boys and girls, I'm back from the dead... or more specifically the dregs of school, work and what have you. After yet another hectic period (it really has been a chaotic year) and a visit from Metawon I have emerged to bring you something quite nice.

It's that time of the year when I start getting really stoked for Shambhala, a familiar feeling as this will be my fifth pilgrimmage to Salmo, and they have just released their schedule. I suggest you check it and then consider how fucking awesome it would be to go (Meta, looking at you here). Just off the top of my head some of the names include: The Nextmen, Q-Bert, Pigeon John, Bryx, A-Skillz, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Piranha Piranha, Dieselboy and Nero. One of the sad things about this year is the missing 3 hour set from the Stickypod Connection, which was one of the biggest hilites the last 3 years running. I can only guess some creative differences emerged between the 2 members (Stickybuds and JPod the Beat Chef) because they have sets at different times this year. Still, I can get you stoked for them independently can't I?

Today I got a 75 minute mix from ol' DJ Stickybuds, who I have never met but would be absolutely shocked if he ever wore a frown. His mixes make booties shake, parties bump, faces smile, and people dance. As this mix will show you, even Chewbacca gets down. This one follows his formula that never disappoints and will help you get extra stoked for Shambs which is only about a month and a half away now. Download, listen, love...
