The Hardest Working Mix’s for the Man

James Brown, who died nearly a month to this day, lives on in the tributes that’ll be coming for a while.

Ignoring the fact that James Brown lay down the first foundations for house music, we’ll recognize him more for being the first rapper, extending the groove to orgasmic proportions, creating some of the finest funk in funk history, and being such a god damn good showman up until the day he died. He may of never allowed the James Brown team to ever use a computer (due to the fact that he thought computers could see him); hell, he was born dead, who wouldn’t think computers were looking at them if they were a stillborn child - he claimed he was born dead and revived, although all doctors say this is impossible.

Here we have mixes from two groups that to pay homage to the man. After all, if he hadn’t done what he did; these labels couldn’t have existed.

Both Stone Throw and DJ Food mashed and smashed their way through James Brown’s finest moments and the finest moments of producers who sampled him.

Thankfully a Blog friend of ours under the name BOSBOS has the resources to host both these mixes for your listening pleasure.
