Doug Turner was in desperate need of a tribute track, so I had to cook one up for him. I took samples from MTV’s The State (Michael Showalter’s timeless Doug sketch), classic breaks (”Ashley’s Roachclip,” “Fools Gold” and “Breakthrough”) and added ‘em all the together with a little bit of “Let’s Get it Together” by El Coco. The resulting collision is two-minutes of non-stop Doug.

Enjoy Mr. Turner.
This next music download isn’t outright funky, but it is hard to find mix that features some sweet, get-down snynth-pop. Yes (the progressive rock band that initially formed way back in 1968) has produced some eclectic sounding tunes over the years. Yes put out 10 diverse-sounding albums from 1969 to 1980. This output was followed by a brief, three-year break-up of the band.
90125 - The Most Successful Yes Album of All Time
In 1983, Yes was back in the mix with a new album, 90125. It was the first album that featured Trevor Rabin. The album marked a shift in the band’s musical approach — the symphonic progressive rock that made Yes famous had now morphed into a more synth-happy early 80s sound. 90125 produced the hits “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” “It Can Happen,” and “Leave It.”
Leave It (Hello, Goodbye Remix)
There were a few remixes made for the song “Leave It,” and the Hello, Goodbye mix seems to be the hardest to find. It was released on the “Leave It” 45-inch Maxi Single, and my Uncle Todd has been trying to get his hands on an mp3 version of the track for some time now.

I’ve been on a serious Fatback binge for like 3 weeks. These guys are great. They always bring it. Just quality, happy, uplifting funky music. Makes you wanna party. Always good stuff.
My First Taste of the Fatback Band — The Tasty Jam Album
Tasty Jam off Spring Records was the first Fatback record I ever owned. It’s loaded with dirty, get-down music that features the sweet electric funkiness that can only be found after the start of the 80s. A lot of people prefer raw 70s funk, but when the funk got electrified, that’s the stuff that really makes my mouth water.
Attention all download-lovin’ funkateers. If you love collecting free funky MP3s, then you need to check out the Monsieurwilly World blog.

Taken from Willy’s personal vinyl collection (a collection that’s over 10,000 records strong), Monsieurwilly’s World is like an archaeological treasure just waiting to be discovered.

The site has so much to offer. We’re talking rare funky disco records. Hard-to-find old school hip hop selections. Quality funk selections that will blow your mind.

When you visit the site and check out each vinyl rip, there’s an entertaining busted-English description of each track provided by the Frenchman with amazing music taste, Monsieur Willy himself.
Thank You Monsieurwilly World
Sadly, there hasn’t been a new post on the Monsieurwilly World blog in awhile, but the guy must have spent an unbelievable amount of time putting up more than 12 gigs of the kind of music you can’t find anywhere. When visit the site and realize the scope of the collection that Willy has made available, you’ll be extremely thankful that WIlly took the time to put it all together.
So when you’re all done stocking up on seriously funky 12-inch singles, the best disco rips you’ll ever find, Jamaican soul selections, quality mixes of disco goodness, afro funk and funky rap records, make sure to drop WIlly an email saying thank you. While you’re at it, tell that you want him to get back to doing what he does best — providing amazing, hard-to-find music to a global audience that loves upbeat funk.
Ze Germans are back! That’s right, your favorite pair of Funky Berliners (The Two Team of Jackie Treehorn and Black Belt Jones) have put out another solid collection of funk gems for your downloading pleasure. The new soundtrack is called Across 21st Gaudy Street, and it features some excellent funky music selections. Read the rest…
I used to listen to a lot of house music. That’s how I really got introduced to funk snippets, small chunks of disco goodness and other funky elements looped together at a rapid pace. As I started collecting vinyl, my musical tastes became more particular. I wanted to hear more than just four-second funk samples, so I gravitated more toward older wax.
Still, there’s always room for good house music. Callahan’s “The Sound” is the kinda house music I grew up loving. I’m gonna start scanning more of my records and posting up funky music downloads. I’ve had a nostalgic urge to reconnect with house music, so Funk Deli’s first vinyl rip is a slice of new school funky fun.

Thanks Haiko!
What happens when a Leonardo Di Caprio confrontation with Commander Zero (of Blood Diamond fame) collides with Komiko’s classic spacey disco electro jam “Feel Alright?” You guessed it — magic.
Enjoy this track.
So I’m constantly on the hunt for other funk-filled blogs, and I came across a beauty today — www.Soul-Side.com. Soul Side features all sorts of funky downloads, interesting music takes from Oliver “DJ O-Dub” Wang and more. If you visit this post on Synthetic Fonk Across Ages, you can download an mp3 of one of my favorite funk tracks — Ripple - I Don’t Know What It Is (But It Sure Is Funky). It’s a great way to get your weekend started off right. Make sure to visit Soul Sides and explore the wide world of funk and soul!
We put together a track called The Captain, and we had to share it with you. The Captain has been a big supporter of Funk Deli since day one. When it comes to force, of course, the Captain delivers without question. Creating a classic tribute track was mandatory. Enjoy.

The beat is all Isaac Hayes. We’ll take credit for the rest.
