SWEATSHOP :: PARIS

Congratulations to my boy Fluxx who now runs one of the hottest underground Funk & Soul night in France. If you're ever in Paris make sure you stop by and check out this night dedicated to the music we love all on wax. Fluxx has been a regular at Sweater Funk prior to moving, and the Kid has heat.

Big Ups Sir...



Paris based DJ crew Sweatshop (Fluxxx & Brez Dillinger) is now presenting to you the only weekly night dedicated to boogie, modern soul and soulful steppers on original vinyl starting now in Paris France.

Inspired by Dam-Funk’s Funkmosphere night in Los Angeles, Jon Blunck and DJ Guillermo decided to recreate the Funkmosphere vibe in their new digs, San Francisco, in 2008. Using their own soundsystem, they took over a basement in Li Po Cocktails, every Sunday with the goal of throwing a free party that presents this sound on original vinyl strictly for the dancers. After going to a lot of Sweaterfunk party in SF, Fluxxx, dj, musician, producer, dance music fan, decided to bring back that californian vibes to Paris under the name of sweatshop and collaborate with international funk scene dj and musician.

TRUST IN ME :: PODCAST VOL.4

2010 was a great year in Modern Soul music, as I'm excited to bring you MORE underplayed tunes from the last 11 years. For this particular mix I want to start things off MY WAY, showcasing the slower tempos in Modern Music. Guessing from reactions, it seems people like my Dance friendly/up-tempo tracks on my previous mixes which is great, but I also want people to groove and understand the Beauty in slower tempo's. I hope my latest mix changes your thoughts on any music that is slower then 109 bpm.

All tracks on this mix are from 2000-2011 except for D-Influnce - Hypnotize (1997). This is my tribute to Steve Marston of D' Influence who passed away late last year. Enjoy the mix with a loved one, or some one that you would like to get loved by!
