Funkier Radio Episode 70 - Craig Scott [Ebony Sessions] Guest Mix

Started this episode on the slower side, took in some beats around 105bpm, slowed things down even more to about 90 then picked thinks back up to familiar 120bpm+ territory to cram in a few promos. This one was a lot of fun after a busy week and weekend that left little time for DJing, and I only pressed the wrong button a few times. Hour two’s guest mix is bloody brilliant to be honest. It’s from Craig Scott, a DJ of 30+ years from Plymouth who caught my ear a while back thanks to his excellent mix series Ebony Sessions. Those mixes, whilst eclectic, are heavily focussed around house and disco their many forms, so imagine my surprise when Craig turned in an hour of wall to wall funky hip hop! I’m so glad he did though - whilst hip hop and me can sometimes be a bit hit and miss, he’s exactly captured the vibe I go for - lively, good time retro beats with lots of big brassy funk samples, none of that gangsta sh*t. He’s done himself proud with this mix and I absolutely love it! Hope you enjoy, and make sure to show Craig some love on Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/ebonysessions …And Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/theebonysessions I’ll be back soon, stay safe kids! xxx HOUR 1 TRACKLIST Dennis Coffey - Live Wire (SLY Edit) SS - Fly As Me (mikeandtess edit 4 mix) Oldchap - Let's Love Gil Scott-Heron - Shut 'Um Down Ripple - I Dont Know What It Is, But It Sure Is Funky (JR.Dynamite Re-Edit) B-Jam - Later A Tribe Called Quest - 1nce Again (radio version) Voices Of East Harlem - Wanted, Dead Or Alive Jonk & Spook - Someone Di Saronno - If You Can't Get On Down (Original Mix) Roy Ayers - Get On Up, Get On Down (Joey Negro Revibe) David Walters - Bwè Dlo Guts Extended Version Chewy Rubs - Ecstacy Pavel Svetlove - Jazzy Piano JB Edits aka Jerk Boy - Leapy Looker Brian Power - Optimistic (Michael Gray Remix) CRAIG SCOTT GUEST MIX James DB - I Got The Bug JB - Hyped Up Ants (Naughty NMX Mix) Ill Advised - Grunt Without The Noise The Fundamentals - Thing Featurecast -
