Funkmosphere August 16th

Our brothers from another mother. Without this night in Culver City, Sweater Funk might not exist. Jon Blunk brought the same vibe from this night to SF and the rest is Sweater Funk history...

Much love to Dam-Funk, Laroj, Randy Watson and Billy Goods. Its been a year since I played at Funkmosphere. Probably the most nerve-racking set I ever did, but after the first 5 records it was smooth and I really got comfortable. I will be playing August 16th and I can't wait to feel those nerves again...

Will pack this for the LA trip

The Nonce-Bus Stops

I'm long overdue for a B.B.Q. in some nice weather...SF Summers mean I'm busting out the scarfs and boots. Pulled this record out for nostalgia's sake, I played this at Chung Techs' Watermelon eating contest in Oakland last summer...I wanna play it outside soon

Cholo Funk

I have a sub-genre of Boogie which I call Cholo Funk. It is a sound hard to define...The best way I can try to describe it is the type of songs you would hear pumpin' out of an impala in Pomona. Here is one of my Cholo Funk favorites.

She Talks To Me With Her Body-The Bar-Kays (1983)

Summer Sounds Kick

Notice a theme...?

Summer Sounds Pt. 2

Here is a nice flip of the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff classic...

Summertime-Last Order (2007)

HOT WAX. Wow

Amazing night, lots of friends came through and stayed until the end. It was a treat to play on such a slammin' sound system,  It was like hearing my records for the first time. Also, working a rotary mixer wasn't as hard as I thought. Shout outs to all that came thru, All of my S-F fam, Noel, Eddy Bauer, Andy, Bryan, Val Pal, Owl Boogie, Hubcap Jones, Cutso, King Most, Vin Roc, Joe Vargo, and ESPECIALLY Freddy and Marky for having us!!

45 Finds

Ran into my pal Mitch at the coffee shop and he asked me to come along for a lightweight dig session. I picked up a few records, 2 of which cost less than 75 cents combined. The single by Janet Jackson "Come Give Your Love To Me" caught my eye because it is a single her first album (self-titled 1981) A hot track from Janet's solo debut is "Young Love" which is definitely Sweater Funk appropriate (Written and produced by Rene Moore and Angela Winbush).



Doesn't the intro sound Fred Schneider-esque a la B-52's?!


10 cent find EW&F "Side by Side"...will try to play this at the Sweater Funk Anniversary party

Perfect Touch & PUTS

My Sweater Funk brother 2-Step Lou is always on the hunt for dope boogie/2-step/Modern Soul records. (Check out his blog Killa Soundz here) He always puts me onto something fresh-here is the latest-
