Colin Brown - Vampi Stroll (2014)

My mate stuck this mix together today over a few beers. Normally I like posting a link to download whatever I'm ranting on about, in this case however the mix is on Mixcloud, and I'm not going through the effort of dissecting the file into individual tracks.

Mix runs to being just under an hour and is a collection of songs from various Vampisoul compilations. There's great flow to it with a definite latin feel throughout and lot's of funk permeating throughout. Compay Quinto, Funkdacion & The Funk On Me really hammer this home, the version of Think he's included is really top class. (There's also an absolute gem of a tune by none other than Elvis Presley himself which sits really well in the context of the overall feel of it.)

Anyways that's enough ranting, check it out, it's really good, a hell of a lot of fun and is going to be taking up space in my CD player for probably the foreseeable future! :) I'd also recommend checking out the other mixes he has up on his mixcloud page. There's some mod reggae that's pretty damn cool, and a couple of rapid calypso mixes which have some absolutely hilarious calypsos that I was completely unfamiliar with before coming across them through said mixes. Enjoy!
