Whatup Funky People!

I mixed these records and produced these Dumpster Funk (old school funk mixes) years ago, and out of all the mixtapes I have made over the years, to this day, they still resonate with the most people who got hard copies of the mixes or downloaded them. These mixes were featured on a few websites and blogs and got thousands of downloads over the past 10 years. Arguably they are the best mixes I ever made in terms of "just plain ol good music."

Unfortunately one of the few places that housed these mixes (Mixcrate.com RIP) went belly up so downloads of these mixes have been unavailable for some time.

TLDR: So I dug thru the archives and conjured the mixes as a few of my friends and family have requested a reup and here they will make a new home base for all who want to inject a little funkiness into their lives. At the bottom of this post you'll find a previously unreleased strictly soul 7s mixtape available for download for the first time.


Please enjoy these mixes and share them with people who you think can dig em.
