Make It Funky Edit - Skylite's awesome disco groover "Boogie Butt" from 1979 on Rampart Records, given the usual Make It Funky loop action. It's been a while since I've been able to find the time to do any new edits due to travelling and finding my feet in Sydney, but hopefully this one was worth the wait...<br />
<br />
To download the 320kbps mp3, all i ask is that you spread the word:<br />
<iframe frameborder="no" height="24px" id="paytweet_button2" name="paytweet_button2" scrolling="No" src="http://www.paywithatweet.com/dlbutton02.php?id=973d0110287db762fcea3cfbdbda16d1" width="240px"></iframe><br />
Don't want to tell others? Well that's not very nice! However if that's case you need to follow me on <a href="http://soundcloud.com/jamesdb">soundcloud</a> and for future edits I'll make them private and downloadable for a few days (usually on a Friday) before making them public to the rest of the world.<br />

So played around with some loops using Serato and this is the result. I hope you like it.<span></span><span></span><span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
A massive slice of disco from the eponymous album by Busta Jones from 1980. Tweaked using the loop feature on Serato, whilst sitting by the pool in Koh Samet... Currently working my way through Thailand and Malaysia and with lots of time on my hands there will be plenty more Make It Funky edits coming your way very soon.james dbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16605012179552835770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628546773074799722.post-4505109055280167512010-08-27T13:57:00.000+01:002010-08-27T13:57:44.921+01:00Deep Space Disco Exploration Mix<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAnt6bFx_TM1yCR-v4w_vJWlXp5pwGayeXXA2uNuI8HqwCMYw40FRZFjpqBF45siJ1qzRFQDaFhAVD1HZa9pzGnqqMYsVHWByAnCv0Ed3_jzKo2SqObfYY-FcaUrqqhYxMtZgoZuuPIhVf/s1600/deep+space+disco+exploration.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAnt6bFx_TM1yCR-v4w_vJWlXp5pwGayeXXA2uNuI8HqwCMYw40FRZFjpqBF45siJ1qzRFQDaFhAVD1HZa9pzGnqqMYsVHWByAnCv0Ed3_jzKo2SqObfYY-FcaUrqqhYxMtZgoZuuPIhVf/s400/deep+space+disco+exploration.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

If you've never heard of either, check them out. The boys at Motherchip lay down a broad spectrum of music, with one theme: awesome tunes.

<br />
There's not much you can do to make this any better, so I've just looped a few bits to make it easier to mix and changed the arrangement a touch. <br />
all done in one take using the loop feature on Serato.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy it as much as i have the original over the years.

Make It Funky Favourite: classic disco action from 1977 on Buddah Records. written and produced by McFadden, Whitehead and Carstarphen.<br />
<br />
I (controversially I'm sure) never liked the chorus, so have taken it out and turned it into more of a disco groover. I hope you like it...<br />
<br />
edited in one take looping live using Serato, so it's a little rough (as always). I'll tidy it up one day...<br />

<br />
I've got something very special for you this week... It's hot off the press, in fact it's pre-press, having been recorded just last week.<br />
<br />
It's by the immense Jonathan Jackson Tarr (AKA Tarrbaby), one of London's best kept secrets (although not for long, I'm sure). An immensely talented guy, who guested on the latest Nextmen Album.<br />
<br />
Managed to persuade him to let me share this with you lot, even thought the vocals are still not finished.<br />
<br />
If anyone fancies doing an edit, let me know, send it over and I'll pass it on. he's keen to hear retakes.<br />
<br />

A very rough new Make It Funky Edit featuring an often overlooked Who tune, Eminence Front with the dulcet tones of Chali 2na from Ozomatli's Cut Chemist Suite. Discovered the loop button on serato and just messed about. Recorded the instrumental looping it live then dropped the acapella afterwards. This is a very rough edit. will do a better version when i get the time... let me know your thoughtsjames dbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16605012179552835770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4628546773074799722.post-76607131800368085532010-03-05T08:09:00.006+00:002011-03-17T20:28:19.414+00:00Half an hour of soulful disco grooves<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcwLd5U9hYlvnwLny9OVBW369qp4-4aK8AJ9g9BtWG1iBJt8A8nA8nZYxc-Ix_F1JDK6xhu1bSNc_sK39c-GRsdhMA5LRjHqgG27RKoNWAJJEk-XZlPJ2hv9JlPuAdC1GNHzO-mjA5luIi/s1600-h/Soulful+Disco+Grooves.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 382px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcwLd5U9hYlvnwLny9OVBW369qp4-4aK8AJ9g9BtWG1iBJt8A8nA8nZYxc-Ix_F1JDK6xhu1bSNc_sK39c-GRsdhMA5LRjHqgG27RKoNWAJJEk-XZlPJ2hv9JlPuAdC1GNHzO-mjA5luIi/s320/Soulful+Disco+Grooves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445059189114213986" border="0" /></a><br />

<br />
This is one for when you get home after a night out or a lazy Sunday afternoon (which may well be both). Some sweet soulful disco grooves that will bring a smile to your face. Last tune was an afterthought hence a bit of rushed, late mix. As always mixed live in one take using decks, records and Serato<br />

2. Disco Deviance - Pushin On (Situation Edit)<br />
3. 6th Borough Project - Do it to the max<br />
4. The Revenge - Heavy love<br />

Here, finally, is an 80 minute mix showcasing how we get down on the last Saturday of every month at The Metropolitan (Westbourne Park, London). It's been a great start to the year. A banging new year (along side Adrian from ETA), Make It Funky moved to the last Saturday of every month and the cheeky Make It Funky re-edit getting to number 1 on hypemachine. We're already starting to Make 2010 funky...<br />
<br />
This is gong to be a promo CD for the night, so if you want one, come on down this Saturday and get funky!<br />
