Under The Influence... of Jazz (MP3)

This is not noodly free jazz. This IS a funky interpretation of the influence that jazz has had over many other musical genres. It's is a one-shot rummage through some of my tunes, focusing on the ones that are influenced in some way by the jazz genre. It might be a sax riff here... or a certain beat there... or perhaps a vocal treatment. This is jazz... but not as you know it. Enjoy!

Genres: breaks, dance, funk, hip hop, house, jazz

Crafty C : Champion Sounds (MP3)

After having a rifle through some of my tunes, i started stewin' a few of these together for a mix. I dug out a few updated versions of old classics, some reggae cover versions, a healthy dose of funk, and seasoned with a pinch of new bits to bring to the boil. The result – a right ol'-party-mash-up-style of a mix. (Full tracklist on download page)... it's a bit of a ride!
