Funkier Radio

Returning for his second Funkier Session (check out his last one here - https://soundcloud.com/evenfunkier/funkier-session-025), we have DJ C1 out of California. This time he's treated us to an hour of jackin' and disco house sounds. Big tunes, big fun on this one - get involved! And don't forget to give him a follow - https://soundcloud.com/c1deejay

Funkier Sounds has hit a milestone - this is the 200th episode! And to celebrate we’ve got a special two hour session made up entirely of my favourite tunes ever. I try to only buy music that I love, and so loads of it ends up five star-rated. So a while back I decided that I needed a higher tier, so I’ve made and regularly update a playlist called ‘6 Stars’. And this episode is just tracks from that playlist. There are some timeless works of genius which are classics for a reason, but loads of more esoteric stuff that I love just because I do. Some of this music is incredibly special to me, all of it fills me with joy and I had loads of fun recording this one - it’s a very eclectic affair and the two hours flew by. I even got a bit emotional towards the end - that Roland Clark track into Stevie was too much! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this wonderful music.

This mashup is a pairing that I actually stumbled across while DJing many years ago, and I’ve finally got around to making it into a proper thing. It’s a combination of Liquid’s classic Sweet Harmony and When Doves Cry by the Purple One. Now I’ve made it properly I’m not sure how well they really go together, but the vocal over that uplifting piano line is a bit of alright (and I’m quite pleased with ‘Purple Liquid' as a title!). Get your ears around this one, and please do grab for free.

The plan was deep house… What came out was cosmic, a bit floaty and only deep-ish, which I’m totally fine with. Starts dreamy, with a sneaky Sade one-two early doors. From there it gradually works its way down into proper house territory without ever taking itself too seriously, with Crackazat, DJ Fudge, Soledrifter and Disclosure along the way. One of mine slipped in there too - a track that’s actually way better than I remember it being. Incognito with a Louie Vega and Joe Claussell remix to finish, which is about as classy an exit as you can get. Niiice! TRACKLIST Reverso 68 - Piece together Moullinex - Catalina Rayko feat.

Like the little neurodivergent DJ that I am, I obsessively tag my tracks so i can easily filter them by all sorts of qualities. One of my tags is, for some reason, called ‘Secret Sauce’, and it’s reserved for the handful of disco, boogie and occasionally a bit Latin tunes that are very special to me. I’m not even sure what makes a track qualify as Secret Sauce, but it makes sense in my head. They’re obscure, wonderful, fierce disco bangers that work well together, often (but not always) with that characteristic up-down disco bass. Anyway, whatever the tag means, each track in this episode has it. This was an off the cuff friday night Twitch session where I just filtered by that tag and went live, and as it always is with these tunes, it was a ton of fun.
