80s Funk Vol. 1

So here The Flagship For Funk presents its first mix for October: 80s funk. Trying to do a mix on eighties funk might not be easy, given the very wide variation and different styles at the time, but here we've compiled the first volume of eighties funk that captures the general sound. Clean and polished throbbing basslines, smooth guitar work and some nice synths and drum machines...we've got the lot here!

2) The Deele - Stimulate (1985)
3) Klymaxx - Love Bandit (1984)
4) Howard Johnson - Older Girl (1985)
5) Cool'R - Here's To You (1989)
6) Crystal - Forever Us (1984)
7) Pleasure - What's It Gonna Be (1982)
8) The B.B. & Q. Band - Stay (1983)
9) Sleek Elite - I Just Want Your Love (1986)
10) Tutt Band - Procrastinator (1988)
11) Zapp - Cas-Ta-Spellome (1985)
12) Lakeside - Relationship (1987)
13) Chill - Lady Seduction (1985)

Hidden Treasure!

Here is the second Flagship Funk mix which is guaranteed to be good to your earhole! This mix is dedicated to the hidden and hard to find songs of some of our favourite bands; discography hunters of various funk/soul groups often think they've got the lot by the artist, only to find a hidden 12" single not assigned to an album, or an extra song hidden on what appears to be just another compilation! Here, I've compiled some of these hidden treasures in this mix. Enjoy!!

1) Kleeer - Oooh With You (1993)
2) Enchantment - Feel Like Dancin' (1985)
3) Con Funk Shun - Throw It Up, Throw It Up (1996)
4) The Deele - The Only 1 (2007)
5) Bar-Kays - Put A Little Nasty On It (1993)
6) Steve Arrington - No Reason (1991)
7) Slave - That's The Way I Like It (1984)
8) The Dazz Band - My Little Princess (Unknown Year)
9) Richard "Dimples" Fields - Baby's Got It Goin' On (1994)
10) Brick - That Button (2009)
