In an uncertain world, one thing we can rely on is our monthly helping of wholesome funk goodness from Fort Knox Five’s epic Funk The World Mix series. FK5’s Steve Raskin and many of his funk-loving friends from around the world have brought us some of the highest-grade mixtapes on planet Earth over the years and as outstanding as they all are, along comes Ireland’s king of funk Doe-ran with volume 75 and contender for best mix of the series, period!
For the last 10 years, Doe-ran has been serving up the best and freshest funk and breaks tunes on his infamous B-Sides & Bootlegs radio show on RapTz Radio. Every week he takes to the airwaves at 8pm (GMT) to present his finds of the week and if you’ve ever caught one of his shows live or one that has been uploaded to his Soundcloud or Mixcloud pages, you’ll already know he’s a superstar scourer of the highest order!
Taking a wee timeout from brand new bangers, Doe-ran has decided to go back to the old skool with his FTW mixtape and re-visit his classic ghetto funk folders. It’s been a while since I’ve headed that far back with music myself and after a listen, I’m stoked to report that he’s gone and picked everyone’s favourite ghetto funk bangers! Browse through the tracklist below and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Bass up, windows open and if anyone complains, politely tell them to funk off!
