The Parkdale Funk Show is based out of Toronto Canada and is produced by DJ Double K. This groove controller will get you jumping with his bottomless selection of deep and heavy funk. His brand of neglected and forgotten soul and funk gems from the \’60s and \’70s is a true culinary feast for your ears. The site mainly focuses on soul, funk, jazz and reggae recordings that you are unlikely to hear anywhere else!
Parkdale Funk is proud to announce the one year anniversary of Soul Power!
I’m still riding on the high of last months Soul Power party as it was the best to date! These jams are getting hotter and hotter and this months event will be no exception! Starving Artist is proud to welcome production duo and DJ team Circle Research as their special guest DJs along side resident Double K.
Circle Research are producers, remixers, turntablists and radio hosts. Well-known for their 10 years on CKLN radio, they’re now broadcasting online with the best podcast the interweb has to offer, The Circle Research Show. Nik & Gil have also just recently released their 3rd album, Gardiner Express on the Urbnet label. I’m a little intimidated to be sharing the decks with these two heavy weights to say the least.
The two patios at Starving Artist will be shaking!
We got soul and we’re super bad.
