 Double K Vs Mogpaws [122:04m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (837)

My good mate Mogpaws of Simmer Down fame moved back to Toronto recently from a little stint in Brazil. He ended up moving literally around the corner from me, so we decided to get together one rainy Sunday afternoon and have a meeting of the minds. He arrived with some delicious vinyl and we went 3 songs back and forth until we reached the 120-minute mark. I’m very happy to have for the fist time on this site a mix created by two people going on musical journey through the realms of soul, funk, jazz, Brazilian and Latin music.

Enjoy the funk.

 Super Party - Mixed by Splattermonkey [1:00:04m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1595)

Parkdale Funk is very proud to present volume 3 in my Toronto Funk series. This new addition to the podcast features a mix by the mighty Splattermonkey! I have had the pleasure to DJ along side Splattermonkey and he’s one hell of an amazing DJ, an wicked selector, a great appreciator of 45s and one hell of a nice guy. I’m very happy to host a mix from a Toronto local who is not just a fellow DJ and collector but someone who I also call a friend. Make sure to check out his other mixes at http://splattermonkey.podomatic.com

Here are few words from Splattermonkey:

I used to be a bit of a lazy digger when it came to collecting old funk and soul music. Buying compilations seemed like an easy way to find those old funk tunes that I wanted to have in my collection. When I first started listening to the Parkdale Funk Show, back in early 2008, I felt inspired to start collecting 45’s. Double K would compile a lot of amazing tunes that I’ve heard on compilations but somehow, they sounded better on 45. So, with the help and inspiration from other collectors around the city, like General Eclectic, DJ Standfast and of course Double K, I slowly started to build up my funky 45 arsenal. When The Parkdale Funk Show started the “Toronto Funk Series”, I thought to myself, “I’d love to record a mix for this series but I have to record it using 45’s.” So, I waited until I had the right mix of funky 45’s to record for the series. Unfortunately, I sort of failed at my attempt because the third and second to last songs came from a 12″ album and a 12″ Ghana funk compilation but I’m still proud of this mix because it’s full of party tunes that have been getting the dance floors moving at my weekly basement soul party, Pass The Butter at Andy Poolhall located at 489 College Street in Toronto! This ain’t no regular party, this is a Super Party!

Shout outs to Sean Ward, who’s comic of the same title provided inspiration for this mix (http://www.seanwardsuperparty.com/) and also, to Double K for constantly providing great tunes, great parties and hosting this podcast!

Enjoy!

 Big City Lights Mix [63:10m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (762)

It’s been some time since I posted one of my own proper 45 mixes, so I got down to business over the weekend and came up with the Big City Lights Mix. As usual I’m all over the place and I start out with some slower sublime soul 45s and move into some faster tempo funk 45s while throwing in some classic Northern Soul spins as well. Some of these 45s are a bit on the scratchy side, so please excuse the hiss on this mix. I hope you enjoy it - there are some big hitters here!

 The Spring Mix [59:30m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1217)

The Parkdale Funk Show is finally back online after some technical difficulties and equipment malfunctions.  I have upgrading some of my equipment and from now on the podcasts are going to be sounding proper! Thanks for your patience.

Lets roll spring in with some proper funk 45s! I’m a bit all over the place with this mix but that’s how I like it. There are two tunes I want to give a shout out to. One is the Original Black Sheep of The Family 45 from the Cultures Of Soul. This young label pulled the original master tapes from the original band members and let this great 1978 banger finally get to see the light of day. It’s the first release on Cultures Of Soul and hopefully we’ll see more coming out of their camp - What a tune! Secondly, the Billy Love tune on FNR records is a pure funk bomb! It’s also the first release on Funk Night Records out of Detroit and what a job they did on the JB styled winner. I love seeing “new funk” done properly! I hope to hear more music coming out of these two indie labels.

So dust off your dancing shoes and give your neck a stretch for a solid  hour of soul & funk 45 gems.

Enjoy the funk

 The Slow Soul Mix [51:38m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1439)

It’s time to slow things down a bit here at Parkdale Funk, but only in a good way! Parkdale Funk has always been about playing the best tunes I can get my hands on and this mix is no different. As a vinyl junkie I do pick up a lot of different types of records and a lot of them do not get played in the podcast. So I wanted to slow things down a bit and have a show dedicated to soul music that doesn’t really fit under the funk umbrella.  So sit back and have a listen to some finger snapping RnB, sublime soul, beat ballads and some all around good music.

Enjoy the soul!
