Regular listeners of my mixes will know I tend to throw in a couple of Soul Stompers in each of my Mixed Genre mixes. I hadn’t as yet, though, attempted a full-on Soul-Funk mix, so a couple of days back I decided to rectify that wrong. It soon became apparent there were too many tracks I just had to include so the Single disc became a double. So here it is, 50 cuts so infectious you won’t know what day it is. So do what Gilbert did & get down!

Just a quick note: The Tyrone Davis track appears on a mix of mine for a third time. Apologies, but it’s just so damn good. Oh, and if you haven’t worked out already, that’s an altogether different ‘Tool’ on tk1…..
