Hook, Line & Sinker

Alright, now that you're here, I might as well throw some music your way. I've got a couple funky remixes to test your tastes. These will serve as a pretty good sample of things to come. You'll dig it, or you'll leave. Simple as that. If you enjoy it... Sit back and rest assured that I will continue to steer you in the right direction. If you like some of it... Stick around, this is only a sample. If you think it sucks...

Seek help.


Here's the CD's of the day...

#1 - FORT KNOX FIVE - FORT KNOX FUNK


These guys are good. At least they make some killer mixes and have the ability to rock a party. Saw them live once and it failed to live up to my hopes, but I must admit that bar was pretty high and I think it was about 4am when they finally came out. However, this recording is a great example of why they kick ass! Perfect for getting people moving.



Sid Barcelona, Jon Horvath, Rob Myers and Steve Raskin are the masterminds behind the FORT KNOX FIVE. They established Fort Knox Recordings in 2003 to release party-rocking music that crosses tempos and defies genres. Their world renowned Fort Knox Sound has overtaken dancefloors with its distinct interweaving of live instrumentation with funky electronic breakbeats.

FORT KNOX FIVE's talent for organic hooks has made them highly sought after producers and remixers. They have over 20 remixes to their credit, including monster mixes for A. Skillz and Krafty Kuts, Kraak & Smaak, Ursula 1000, Dynamo Productions, and Mo Horizons, as well as remixes for the legendary Tito Puente, Louis Armstrong, and Bob Marley.

#2 - THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS - RE::MIXED

Ahhh... The New Mastersounds. One of my favorite new funk bands! These guys exemplify what's great about the UK funk scene. This is one band that does NOT disappoint live! Caught them in small clubs, outdoor festivals, on a ship in the atlantic ocean, and on more and more speakers as their sound catches on like wildfire.

I came across this gem of an album a few weeks back. Unlike their traditional funk albums, this one features a disc full of remixes froma variety of great DJ's and producers.

If this one is liked, there's more New Mastersounds where in my collection...
