Funk In Your Face

I've been a huge fan of the old school funk vibe in EDM for a long time now and here are a couple of tracks to illustrate just what you can do with it.  Fort Knox Five out of Washington DC have been putting down the funk since 2003 in live performances and DJ sets that definitely get your feet movin'.  Right off the bat you get that vibe you expect from FK5, here you go:

Next up are a few upcoming releases on the iBreaks label.  The first track "Rock the Disco" fuses electronic elements and old school funk all in one.  The massive builds of traditional EDM are very evident in both the intro and the first big breakdown.  The second track on the EP, Funkology is exactly what you would expect from the name.  A true example of funk from the expert in the field.  It hits all the organic elements from keys to sax, flutes, horns, and everywhere in between.  Definitely keeping this one in the crates for just the right time.

Last off my man A-Skillz brings it with a new mini-mix of tracks he's been playing out for the last bit.  His skills on the decks are rivaled by few and this is just another example of that.  This one is definitely going on your mp3 player no matter how much you wanna fight it.  Funk to soul to straight up dance and turntablism, this is the mix to get your week poppin' off right...
