  • Lee Scott – Forty eight mins of fun..k

    http://soundcloud.com/lee_scott/forty-eight-mins-of-fun-k

    Forty Eight minutes of 60’s beat music. For 60’s beat heads. Original 60’s beat heads of course. From stone cold funk classics and german library nipple twisters to vocal jazzers and spoken beat poetry. It’s all there in forty eight minutes of fun..k

    A great mix from Cambridge’s very own Lee Scott, who I’ve had the pleasure of playing alongside at Soul 4 Soul (and will no doubt be doing so again very soon..)

    Check out more from Lee here: http://soundcloud.com/lee_scott

    and also keep an eye on his Play-House page if you’re into the deep house end of things, and be sure to head down to The Fountain on a Thursday, as you’ll either catch him spinning house or me spinning funk on the alternate week…

  • Mr~M’s Mad March Mix

    http://soundcloud.com/mrm-6/mad-march-mix

    Another great mix from Mr M, who can be found regularly dropping the heavy funk 45s at “We Love James Brown” at The Cow, and also as one of our regular guest DJs at Soul 4 Soul at La Raza.

  • Jonny Drop – Intuition Ft Minnie Malloi

    [soundcloud]http://soundcloud.com/jonnydrop/intuition-ft-minnie-malloi[/soundcloud]

    When the hustle and bustle of Cambridge got too much, Jonny Drop did what many do, and snuck off to seek refuge in the quaint old sleepy village of London.. Luckily for us, while he was tucked up there, he carried on DJing and producing, resulting in gems such as the one above…

    I’m lucky enough to have a guest mix from Jonny which you can hear on tomorrow’s ‘Rad Radio, Yo!’ show tomorrow night, on Cambridge 105fm..

    Go find more treasure at the following locations, or alternatively, just flop about like a drooling baby and wait until I inevitably spoon feed you some more.. Who’s a good baby? WHO’S A GOOD BABY! YES YOU AAAARRRRRE!!
