Internationally renowned DJ Andy Smith first came to prominence as Portishead's tour DJ on the long tour for the album Dummy. He first turned up on BGP a few years back with his highly successful '60s Soul mix Andy Smith's Northern Soul which was allied to a club night that he was doing at various venues around the world. This time we asked Andy to take his pick of the BGP catalogue and create a funky jazzy mix up. Andy mixes up every corner of the BGP catalogue from Deep Funk classics, through Jazz and Soul club dancers, some of BGPs greatest discoveries (like Billy Hawks and Billy Garner), and of course classic breaks as featured on our Super Breaks series. Using DJ techniques originated in the world of Hip Hop he carefully builds the CD to create a magnificent aural experience whether you want to listen at home or turn your home into a party. The CD features Andy's mix of segued tracks, while the double vinyl is unsegued. Beat Goes On. 24 tracks. BGP.

http://www.link.ge/file/265760/FAF-08.rar.htmlFive Alarm Funk released their second studio album, Voodoo Hairdoo, on May 1st 2008.
Voodoo Hairdoo captures the boundless energy of Five Alarm Funk’s live show. It is a journey from fast funk and dance-crazed Latin to epic reggae and thunderous Afro-beat.
The title track blends a tight funky groove with punchy horn shots, searing lead guitar and outerspace keyboards. The song then shifts gears, dropping to a percussion groove that builds to an epic Afro-beat climax.
“Keeps Me Up At Night” is a slap-bass driven, heavy funk workout reminiscent of Earth Wind & Fire. The song features guest appearances by soul-singing powerhouses Tim Fuller and Dawn Pemberton, adding a new element to the band’s trademark instrumental grooves.
Five Alarm Funk has built an enthusiastic fan base large enough to twice fill the Commodore with over 900 fans in 2007. Every performance is an unstoppable dance party. The intense horn lines, percolating Afro-beat guitar and explosive percussion section are irresistible.
The 11-piece phenomenon has performed over 120 shows throughout Western Canada, sharing stages with such artists as Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Herbaliser, Sly & Robbie, Fishbone and Xavier Rudd. The group’s first release, put out in March 2006, has sold over 2500 copies.
“We spent over three weeks in the studio to record and mix the 10 brand new heavy-hitting tracks,” says Justin Kennedy, one of the band’s four percussionists. “We were able to isolate each part and make the grooves pop like Orville Redenbacher’s freshest kernels. This album will make the land that rhythm forgot remember.”
Five Alarm Funk dedicates Voodoo Hairdoo to its fans, who made it possible to record this album independently without label support or government grants.
