Got Ur Self A Gun - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-05-29 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretI built this one when I heard Nas was coming to New Zealand last year. A little combo between the one and only New York Hip Hop artist Nas and the Fania All Stars - Cha Cha Cha.I found the background sample while sifting through a bunch of 60s / 70s Samba / Jazz tracks when I found 'Cha Cha Cha' - A little research says: The Fania All-Stars is a musical ensemble established in 1968 as a showcase for the musicians on the record label Fania Records, the leading salsa record company of the time.

Fame - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretAn all time classic and one of my favourite David Bowie tracks. I've always been drawn to the underlying funk tones on this one and needed something fresh for my sets, so decided to put this little edit together.The age-old question on audio mastering... What is good? What is bad? I've been through so many versions of this track, I don't know which one sounds best anymore! Anyway I've almost given up on this one now, so I hope you like this version :)
Workin Like A Train - Funk Ferret Mashup Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretThis one has been floating around on my hard drive for quite a while, and I only just realised I have no idea where the original project files are... Just this mp3. I really would like to have mastered this one a lot better than it currently is, but hey.. This is all I have.Also would have been better to get hold of the original Grandmaster Caz acapella, rather than just a simple mashup between the two tunes.Anyway, I've had a few requests for this one, so here it is!Enjoy.
Give Up The Funk - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretA punched up remix of Parliament's all time classic 'Give Up The Funk'. Freshly squeezed, with a mid track surprise!
Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretA slow burner.. This one is a real oldie for me. Not even sure what year I threw this one together.The original was written by Eddy Grant of well known 'The Equals'. A phsycadelic, funk and soul jam I think has similar roots to Edwin Starr's 'War'.This mix samples Derrick Harriot's version which has a nice alternate disco style, served beefed up Ferret style with a hefty kick / snare combo, along with a subtle new bassline.
Jungle Fever - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretPump it up! A kick + snare heavy edit of the well know Chakachas 'Jungle Fever' complete with the sexy? wailing of some woman having a great time.Enjoy!

Thank You - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretBack in November 2013 something great happened to music. Something that hadn't been heard in the (almost) mainstream for a very long time. Busta Rhymes released 'Thank You' which featured a very prominent sample of Alicia Myers' 'I Want To Thank You'.I was crazy excited to hear something so great and classic make it into the wider market. I had high hopes of this track throwing a spanner into the modern music works and crossed fingers to hear more sampled classic joints like this in the future... unfortunately that never happened. The mainstream music scene is just far too large and powerful to have one fresh new sound thrown into the mix and influence the modern sound.So I say to you, get your remix on! Cut, edit, sample and remix away! Challenge the norm! The more alternate fresh material out there, the more chance it'll have to influence the scene!Anyway... When I first heard the original Busta Rhymes track, I absolutely loved it! It was widely played, and unfortunately became a little overplayed, and almost left again as quickly as it entered.I made this re-boot quite a while ago, so I'm hoping the time has passed and you're ready to hear this one again!I wanted to edit the original Alicia Myers version, and absolutely loved Q-Tip in the original Busta Rhymes track, so I used Q-Tip again here, although this time making use of his 'Work It Out' acapella.With a bunch of extra sampled material thrown in, I hope this one brings fresh light to not only the well played Busta Rhymes version, but also the classic original by Alicia Myers.I actually really wanted to do some more production and mastering on this one, but somehow I have lost all the project files! Ggggrrrr.. So this is it!Enjoy!
Bump & Hustle Music - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretJust a really simple edit again this Friday, a little bit of a mastering exercise in tidying up the original track and laying down a punchy kick / snare combo. I'm not a fan of Nelly, but after hearing how well in key this acapella fit, I've enjoyed it ever since!Remember to keep an eye out for new tunes, info and tour dates on my Twitter & Facebook page: http://www.twitter.com/FunkFerret http://www.facebook.com/funkferret
Youre The One For Me - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-02-02 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretThis started as a sampling exercise to see what I could do with a few different 80s sample packs I had.

Funk Ferret - Know Your Roots Funk Ferret 2016-01-13 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretHere's another oldie from the archives deep within the Ferret Bass Laboratory.This track has been through a lot of changes! It started out as it sounds here, and moved into an original track featuring 'Imagine This' on vocals, with an incredible chorus sung by none other than the almighty King Kapisi. We re-wrote the incredibly well known guitar riff as a warpy synth version to take away any copyright issues we would most likely come across.. However in the end we came to the mutual agreement that the original version still sounded too much like the initial Rage Against The Machine sample and decided to cancel the project.So here it is for you! Stripped back to it's roots (appropriately named) with all the original samples used.Have some fun with it!Original contributors to the track:soundcloud.com/imaginethismusicsoundcloud.com/king-kapisi
Funk Ferret - Something Like That Funk Ferret 2016-01-13 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretThis one is quite old to me, I had totally forgotten about it! Made in 2011So I've been trying to write a Funk Ferret EP for what I think might be about 2 or 3 years now! I keep pushing the release back because it takes me so long to write music I'm happy with, by the time I have a bunch of tracks ready, I'm already sick of the first few tracks.Although this isn't part of the upcoming EP, it's a tune I really dig and still play out a lot. If it's not getting an official release, you guys may as well take it and go nuts!I had forgotten where the acapella came from.. Have been doing some digging, so make sure you check out these guys:K-Otix & Kay:http://k-otix.bandcamp.com..and of course you will notice that totally killer main sample from Quincy Jones' Stuff Like That - One of my all time favourite funksters!

'Big Up Booty' has always been a favourite, so I was super stoked to have the opportunity to work on the remix!CMC & Silenta are back with another remix EP from their successful album "Get it on Now". The EP, released on vinyl, includes three hot club tracks from the original album plus three remixes on the B-Side.A1. "Yeah That's Right" feat. Mystro and MalendaA2. "This is How We Rollin'" feat. the Ragga TwinsA3. "Where We Started From" feat. Jennifer LowpassB1. "Yeah That's Right" feat. Mystro and Malenda (Phunk Junkies Remix)B2. Big Up Booty (Funk Ferret Remix)B3. "This is How We Rollin'" feat. the Ragga Twins (William Breakspear Remix)The remixes are super, starting with "Yeah That's Right" from new uprising stars: The Phunk Junkies. Kotch, one of the Junkies, gained massive attention last year with his Buccovina glitch-hop styled remix that was played by every DJ in the scene. Label boss for Skanky Panky Records, William Breakspear, whose known for his K-Lab remixes and collaborations with Ashley Slater, shows us his interpretation of "This is How We Rollin''. And Funk Ferret, from world of Ghetto Funk, took "Big Up Booty" and transformed it from a deep bass rocker to a funky breaks monster.Get it here on WAX:http://cmc-silenta.bandcamp.com/album/feature-breaks-vol-4-cmc-silenta-remixed-2Get it here Digital:http://cmc-silenta.bandcamp.com/album/feature-breaks-vol-4-cmc-silenta-remixed-2

Fat City Strut - Funk Ferret Edit Funk Ferret 2016-01-06 | Free download at: https://hearthis.at/funkferretHere ya go folks! This is quite a simple edit really. Started out as an experimental bit of fun. I originally didn't like it too much, but after playing it out constantly over the last month or so, it has become a massively used track in my digital record bag. Those horns!! Love that brass.Mandrill's Fat City Strut and classic late 80's Bizzy Boyz with punched up drums and bassline. Couldn't use the whole acapella unfortunately, it had a lot of cheesy sounding stabs throughout, so this one is a little cut up and re-arranged.
