All-Right on time

No Restless Funk radio show this week (studio tech breakdown), so luckily I'd been asked for a promo selection by some very lovely people. Fresh out of the wash, an uptempo seletion of synth-y bangers:

Hit me with your rhythm stick

More A-Funk business, lose yourself for another hour or so with intense wild jams from DJ A-Funk, on a roll...

Beats International

My dear friend Greg (Sullivan) asked me to make a mix for their radio show Time & Space, based in Nantes, France. I gave them a run through of some of my favourite records I've bought in the last few years with a distinctly summer vibe - it's hard to not mention Africa, but you get the idea. I'm a heathen, uneducated but genuinely in love

Mo honey

DJ A-Funk back from a summer vacation; "After years searching for the perfect beat, a realisation dawned that all that was needed was "my beat", finally found. A music to languish in, the techno from Detroit, the disco from New York, the meandering infinite groove from the Black Ark, the footwork of the future - you hear it all within this music from the past"  Er...

Restless Funk 28/07/16

Restless Funk is an award winning radio show broadcast LIVE from 10pm-12am GMT every Thursday evening on 97.2FM and www.camfm.co.uk

But Wait, There's More...

Keeping things rolling, eeking out the archive, more progress with the plan, cloud be good to me, time on hands and in anticipation; A-Funk

Unlucky for some

Early vibes from A-Funk as a listening session yields fresh produce, first hour in three. Make hay whilst the sun shines on soundcloud, not that we outsiders fear the reaper 'yo - what's that one again buddy?'

Mmmm... Pie...

Many fingers, not enough pie. Musical interlude transmission from A-Funk

Santa's Sack

No Restless Funk for a couple of weeks as the guys have some time off, so A-Funk donned his Santa hat, drank all the whiskey and abused your favourite aunt:

DJ A-Funk - Jungle Bals by Matthew Stancombe on Mixcloud

Cookin'

He's back, DJ A-Funk's first new broadcast for over a year... Outernational sounds, play loud!

DJ A-Funk - Curley's Fresh Cuts 

Highly Commendable

We'd like to give a special welcome to new Disco Village resident, DJ A-Funk, coming correct running dem hot sweet plates just the way we like them here in the D-V...
