Toolroom Knights mixed by Funkagenda
5/10/2009With a slew of Top 10 hits, a multitude of remixes under his belt, and a frightening tea habit, Funkagenda has been called in to mix the next Toolroom Knights installment.
Already having featured on prominent labels such as Defected, Azuli, Ministry of Sound, Subliminal and of course, Toolroom; Funkagenda’s production and remix skills are highly sought after worldwide. With remix commissions from the likes of Basement Jaxx, Moby, Dirty Vegas and a song writing stint with the Black Eyed Peas, coupled with 3 Beatport no.1’s this year alone, Funkagenda is on a roll.
After winning Best Newcomer & Best Track (Man with the Red Face alongside Mark Knight) at the DJ Awards 2008, and his productions & DJ sets pricking the ears of promoters worldwide, Funkagenda’s tour diary has been jam packed with gigs in America, Canada, Russia, South America, Eastern Europe, Spain, France and many more. His enthusiastic and creative DJ sets have set him aside from norm and his residency at the Toolroom Knights Events has cemented his reputation as one of the most unique and engaging DJs in his field today.
Funkagenda has scanned the length and breadth of his record collection and has come up with an eclectic and different mix for Toolroom. He has written 3 tracks exclusively for Toolroom – Zomg and Lmaoblade, appear here for the first time alongside the massive groove induced Kim Fai collaboration Gayfest.
With a staggering 37 tracks, Funkagenda seamlessly blends smooth house grooves and big hitters from Sebo K, Jimpster, Lützenkirchen, D Ramirez, D Nox & Beckers, Crazy P, Matteo DiMarr and Mark Knight, working the edits and utilizing accapella’s from DJ Gregory, and Mutiny. Kirsty Hawkshaw’s Face To Face vocal also makes an appearance over Ritkam & Bansi’s Bass Master Zorro, and Nadia Ali’s legendary Rapture over Adam Shaw’s Far Cry, which recreates the massive booty championed by Pete Tong.
Funkagenda’s love of all things is clearly apparent over the mix; ‘straight up’ house, techno, tech-house, deep house and so on – and he’s not afraid of a good vocal too! Included in the mix is Mark Knight & Funkagenda’s recent smash ‘Good Times’ and Funkagenda’s recent remix of the classic ‘Zoe’ by Paganini Traxx.
With DJ support from the likes of Mark Knight, Pete Tong, Axwell, Dirty South, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso its easy to see why Funkagenda has become a serious driving force in shaping House music today.
