Funk For The Folks. (Mix)
Cover Art + Mixed by Darien Victor Birks of Flwrpt
The Message
I never did a pure funk mix…but all summer I have been digging hard for funk records, funk breaks, etc. I came up on some pretty dope music (in addition to some stuff I already had) and naturally I took that inspiration to put together the latest mix…Funk For The Folks. I hope you all enjoy…

I want to thank everybody for all of the positive feedback!
I’m a little late gettin’ over to this one. Very nice funk mix Darien. That Lyn Collins “Think” joint gets me going every time, just what I needed tonight. I reposted here: http://luvmnw.blogspot.com/2009/08/flwrpt-mix-funk-for-folks.html
Thanks again. Peace!

I happened upon your blog by way of another blog, by way of yet another….
Anyway, this mix is pretty hot. Takes me back. So far back that I forgot all about the J5s “It’s Great To Be Here.” After listening to it, I went straight to amazon.com to cop that joint.
Thank you!
btw, at first blush I thought this was a music blog, but I immediately picked up on the design elements and thought that you might be a graphic designer. I really like your sense of design. :thumbsup:
awesome!!! this is my kinda $hit! much love from cali!
