‘SUPER PARTY’ MIXED BY SPLATTERMONKEY

Super Party - Mixed by Splattermonkey [ 1:00:04 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (2266)

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!

“FUNKY PEASOUP” MIXED BY CHRIS ALLWAYSDIGGIN

Funkypea Soup mixed by Chris Alwaysdiggin [ 49:25 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (2019)

The Parkdale Funk Show is proud to present the Funkypea Soup Mix by Chris Allwaysdiggin’! It’s a very hardy and tasty mix that I’m sure everyone will enjoy. Chris is out of London UK and is a hands on digger with dusty fingertips. Pull out your can opener and bust out some funky pea soup!

Here are a few words from Chris Allwaysdiggin’…

“Big up to Double K first and foremost for featuring “THE FUNKYPEA SOUP” mix on Parkdale Funk.

The Ingredients: A selection of 45s, some old, some new, funk and then some. Kicking off with some funky vegetables from The Vibrations, a recession fueled funky tale of a Harlem food shortage. Then to the O.G. Lyrics of John McCain every ounce the old skool. “PIMP” by the Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, which is the source for the 50 Cent track.

Add spice with some reggae/rocksteady tunes from Tommy McCook, Bill Campbell and a reggae/funk crossover from Buster Pearson’s killer instro.

Add a dash of momma’s gravy “Yum-Yum” followed by the southern funk of Benny Gordon. At this point we ask, is it funky enough? Or do you want some more? There’s some sister funk from Pamela Cole and the Jive Turkeys with B.A.

From the hip-hop chef Pete Rock, who immortalized the horn (the creator) from King Curtis’ “Instant Groove”

Add four more funk 45s by Freddy King, Mr. Percolator, The Soul Avengers, and the Mighty Groove Makers. There’s also a fine cover of the Boogaloo Joe Jones cut “Brown Bag”, done with a guitar that’s every bit as quick and tight as the original!

Hope you enjoy the taste and thanx for listening!

Peace

Chris Allwaysdiggin”

“CONNECTING FLIGHT” MIXED BY DJ JUN

Connecting Flights - Mixed by DJ Jun [ 49:06 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (2070)

The Parkdale Funk Show has something very special, an amazing guest mix by DJ Jun of Cr8apes. This t.dot DJ is going to take you on a musical flight all over the globe with this mix. I am quite proud to be hosting such an amazing set!

As most of you know, Parkdale Funk is based out of Toronto Canada. I absolutely love this city (especially now that the garbage strike is over!) and all the talent that it holds. Over the upcoming months you’re going to see special guest mixes from t.dot DJs in a new series called Toronto Funk. DJ Jun is starting up this series so make sure to show some love and visit his mighty Cr8apes site.

Here are a few words from Jun:

“Ok, so looking over that last bunch of mixes I’ve made, I realize that I’ve been concentrating on a lot of genre-based mixes and not the cross-genre, mash’em up style that I’ve been know to play out. So, to be true to my character (not that I wasn’t being true before ), I’ve put a mix together that breaks down the genre barrier and connects music from, in this case, 8 countries from 4 different continents. ‘Connecting Flight’ mixes together funk, salsa, bossa funk, brazilian & ska tunes from countries such as Germany, Panama, Nigeria and St. Lucia in a way that, hopefully, you don’t even realize that you’ve just travelled through 4 continents in just under 50 minutes.

I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I had making it.

A Big, BIG shout out to DJ Double K of Parkdale Funk who has kindly offered to post the ‘Connecting Flight’ mix as Part 1 of his ‘Toronto Funk Series’ and to give me the opportunity to share some music with his readers.”

Playlist:

1. Mike James Kirkland – Hang on in There (Bryan, USA)
2. The Phenominal Handclap Band – I Been Born Again (Truth & Soul, USA)
3. Dubben – Funky Duck pt. 1 (GAMM, Germany)
4. Los Silvertones – El Baile De La Arana (Soundway, Panama)
5. Coke – Na Na (Sound Triangle, USA)
6. International Orquesta – Mucho Control (Mavi, USA)
7. The Funkees – Now I’m a Man (EMI, Nigeria)
8. Boo and the Tru-Tones – Let Me Get Stoned (TREX, St. Lucia)
9. Matata – I Feel Funky (Makossa, UK/Kenya)
10. Tonistics – Holding On (Kingdom Productions, Israel)
11. The Soul Shakers – You Ain’t My Brother (Amark, USA)
12. Baba Brooks & His Proceeding Band – 1st Session (Gay Feet, Jamaica)
13. Tommy McCook & the Skatalites – Sauvitt (Studio One, Jamaica)
