For all X (music)

drwex...where X is a crappy drwex mood, the solution is "apply more funk." Long sets here so I'll do just three for now and save more for another post.

Another great Groovelectric mix from DJ Steveboy, this one is full of funky throwback tunes and covers of things you've heard before. It's hard to pick a favorite here. Maybe Ministry of Funk - Orange (Funky Live Mix) - which I couldn't find as a separate track but you can get on Beatport here: https://www.beatport.com/track/orange-funky-live-mix/8702899
I first got into Groovelectric because of their "new old funk" sound, the place where funk came back to life in house music not just as samples, but as a full-on set of styles and effects that build together. Some of it is the horns, some is the beats, some is the vocals. Love me some funk.

Another funky set of house music, this time from Dancefloor Outlaws last December. There's no track list so I can't pick out a favorite for you but the sound is pretty consistently funky house throughout. I like the track that starts at about 22:30, wish I could identify it. The Outlaws' style is a little more what I'd call electro-bounce and they call "future house" than Groovelectric but it's definitely in the same camp. As a live club set, this mix has less vocals and more open space than I'm used to.

I think the thing I like most about Father Funk's style is how he infuses well-known tracks into his sets. This one opens with "Whole Lotta Love," pays tribute to hip-hop pioneers NWA ("Express Yourself"), and closes with "Guerilla Radio", originally from Rage Against the Machine but I actually think Father Funk's own remix of Daft Punk vs Federation Of The Disco Pimp doing "Robot Rock" is the best of the bunch.
What do you guys think?
