The end of the Summer is bringing all kinds of mix madness here at Flea Market Funk. I had a a review of the Whatnauts featuring the Whatnaut Band doing “Message from a Black Man”, but that is going to drop on Friday. What we have here family is a special treat. Scholar over at Souled On asked me to to contribute to his guest mix series a little while back. Being a fan of the blog, there is no way I could refuse. When I did this mix, I had it in my head that I wanted to do a mix that means somethin’. All in my head, I heard those Pharcyde lyrics on permanent repeat. I then looked at the unorganized mountain of 45’s I had and started digging through them ( Fortunately that said mountain is now organized ). I chose 17 sides that mean somethin’ to me. Nothing deep, I just feel good about these records. Some of them are from new digs, others I have been sitting on, waiting for a mix just like this to use them for, while 3 are reissue records. As a whole, they all mean somethin’. I’m sure that when each of these artists were writing, recording, and performing, each one meant somethin’ to them in their own special way. Let me just say I’m honored to do a mix for Souled On, and I’m hoping this is the first of many collabos we do together. So check out: Somethin’ That Means Somethin’: Flea Market Funk Guests at Souled On Music . This is an all 45 rpm mix.

  2. Thanks Vince. This mix was especially fun. I’ve got lots more up my sleeve. I haven’t even ventured into my Hip Hop or Jazz records yet. I’m definitely gonna do a Jazz mix in the upcoming months, and I do have about 10 or so crates of golden era Hip Hop to draw from, so we’ll see.

  7. Pres—I was serious about being addicted to the mix. Guess the only remedy is that you’ll have to bless us with another.

    devil—I think you need to holler at your boss. Free Souled On from the firewall!

  8. thanks man. i still have a grip of records to get to, and like i said to vince, there is definitely a golden age hip hop mix coming about, and a jazz mix i’ve been kicking around. thanks again for letting me represent.

  9. YEAH SORRY SCHOLAR!
    my job is a SERIOUS drag…
    i want in on that mix!!!!!!!!!!

    and pres what kinda old school hip hop we talkin’ ’bout?

    I need to hear some doug e fresh ASAP!!!

  10. This is my first full venture into funk music, so I’m hoping this mix points me in the right direction. I’ve been following Scholar’s blog for a short time now, mainly for the amazing sample posts. I love my hip hop, so I’m always eager to hear source material. Something’s up with my computer right now, so I’m not able to listen to the mix immediately, even though I did download it. I look forward to hearing it, and hopefully I’ll be back for more. Thanks for the hard work either way.

  12. jakubs: thanks for stopping in and welcome. there is plenty of funk and soul around here, and lots of sample material as well. there’s also a ton of mixes on the right for download, chock full of drum breaks, etc. it also looks like i’ll have to expedite that hip hop mix i’ve been thinking about doing. maybe i’ll start it this holiday weekend

    deedubs: cool site, i’m gonna link you guys up.

    cheers again guys, thanks for checking FMF out.

  13. Pres – Fine, fine mix. Between FMF and Souled On we got ’em covered. I have added this set to my iPod…keep on funkin’
