A Nod to the Pioneers of Hip-Hop & Funk
Another Fort Knox Recordings family collaboration at its finest. Once again Qdup & All Good Funk Alliance to get your funk & soul fix groovin’. The tune coming at you straight from nation’s capital is a remix of “We Funk This Party Out” feat. Grandmaster Flash, Mele Mel & Kurtis Blow by Afrika Bambaataa. Bambaataa made music history as one of the pioneers of break-beat deejaying and hip-hop, reaching international acclaim with his 1982 hit “Planet Rock”.
In proper Fort Knox Recordings fashion the track sticks to the artist’s original intentions of the song, while making carefully calculated adjustments to create a well-produced piece of music. Fort Knox Five, DJ Slynk, and The Funk Hunters have been adding this one in the mix during their sets, road-testing the track even this past summer. The mid-tempo funk breaks and a nod the the innovators of hip-hip & funk coupled with a modern electronic sound make this one a must listen.
