9 JAN 2017 · Here’s a wah-wah funk soundtrack to a never-shot episode of the Shaft saga. I picked tracks from 70’s blaxpoitation and italian b-movie soundtracks and added a few jazz-funk jams that sounded great for this kind of mix.
Finally the black superdetective’s back, still chasing pimps, thieves and drug dealers!
Check out my “Supabrown Meets Foxy Brown” mix for similiar sounds and vibes.

8 OCT 2016 · Here’s the soundtrack to a fictitious blaxploitation/sexploitation movie starring Pam Grier.
I actually picked most of the tracks from 70’s American and Italian b-movie soundtracks, other stuff comes from the 70’s too (although not from soundtracks), but there are also a few things recorded in the XXI century (guess which!).

4 OCT 2016 · I felt it was time to get back where I belong and do my thang, so I dug the crates (well, virtually) in search of rare grooves, I picked up a few tracks from '70 Italian libraries and blaxploitation soundtracks and some stunning funky jazz numbers too but I didn't neglect some of my favourite acts; moreover, a funk mixtape can't do without the Godfather.
