Funkzilla – A hip hop and funk mix.


Remember when hip hop wasn't all about icy chains? Remember the days when a rap track didn't need an autotuned hook?

Well, before you get misty-eyed and mournful, take hope in the fact that some people are still 'keeping it real' and making music that throbs with funky instrumentation, fat drums and raw vocals.

With this in mind, tOtALcULt presents a brand new mix for your listening pleasure:

This mix was made using M-Audio's Torq DJ system, which allows MP3s to be played alongside vinyl or CDs and enables digital tracks to be cut, scratched, looped and effected in ways old skool DJs could only dream of.

The timestretching algorithms have some room for improvement and artifacts are especially problematic when slowing tracks, but mostly it's a pretty solid system.

Anyway, enough techy-talk. Get up, get down and enjoy.
