Apologies for the delay releasing this week’s show – we had a slight technical hitch that put us back almost a week.

Anyway, all has returned to normal now and you can enjoy another two hours of uplifting, fresh and funky house music, mixed up by your favourite DJ.

We’ve completely bypassed the Heart & Soul section this week, jumping straight into Love Lounge with a couple of tracks from the new Bargrooves Disco Heat 2 compilation such as Warren Clarke and Kathy Brown teaming up for “Over You” and Luxor’s “Back To Love” – the album is definitely worth grabbing or putting on your Christmas list.

A few other noticeable inclusions are The Shapeshifters teaming up with the legend Frankie Knuckles and the awesome reworking of Lee Cabrera’s “Shake It” with Thomas Gold and the delectable Tara McDonald (who kindly supplied a cheeky greeting for you all).

Next week, we’ll be featuring some delights from the long-awaited Fierce Angels: The Collection, released Monday 23rd November with a whole stack of foot stomping dance tracks including several exclusives from the newly formed Fierce Angels Collective (Mark Doyle teaming up with some of his good friends from around the industry).

There will also be the usual funky numbers that are doing the rounds on the club scene, compilations and all the usual haunts. Be sure to join in on Saturday 5th December by opening the fifth advent calendar window with another 20 odd new tracks.

To celebrate this week’s Southport Weekender (which I’ll be attending) we’ve got a gorgeous collection of soulful house tunes to get you ready for the weekend.

Featuring the likes of the mighty Marc Evans, Switzerland’s Steven Stone, Birmingham’s Timmy Vegas and the delectable vocal talents of Katherine Ellis and Alec Sun Drae, you should not be disappointed!

If that wasn’t enough, we’re joined by the amazing DJ Iban Reus from Mallorca with an exclusive hour long guest mix, including some sexy Balaeric anthems to brighten up the miserable UK November weather.

If you’re ever on the Spanish island, you can catch DJ Iban Reus every Saturday night on Global FM where he showcases the latest in house music. If you’re not fortunate to be sunning it up out there, he also uploads the occasional mix to his Soundcloud profile. Check them out and hook up with him on Twitter as @DJIbanReus.

Well, don’t let it dampen your spirits as Funky House Finesse for the second of three doses this month, bringing you a stonking collection of funky house delights yet again, all mixed up by One Phat DJ and presented by Ben Day for two hours of sexy grooves to prepare you for another Saturday night.

Among this week’s selection are a few familiar faces such as our favourite Joey Negro’s Sunburst Band, Dimitri From Paris, Soul Avengerz, Susu Bobien, Mark Pichiotti and Alec Sun Drae, plus a load of other sexy new tracks from some of our favourite labels like Purple Music, King Street, Peppermint Jam and Blueplate Global.

We’ve also take on a slightly different approach with Disco Tech this week, introducing some jackin’ house tracks that have been lying around One Phat DJ’s box for a few months. Let us know what you think and whether you’d like to hear more like this.

This month, we also extend our reach by joining House Music Podcasts – another emerging broadcast network setup by the brains behind Lifted Radio, Mark Masters and Tom Upton. At present, this is just a podcast service of hand-picked DJs but they are planning a whole load of new services including a streaming radio system. Check it out and subscribe.

Don’t forget we’ve now got a dedicated hotline for your messages and shout outs. It was pretty quiet last month so make sure you give us a call and leave a message, tell us what party plans you have, maybe make some requests – it’s up to you. Call 0121 288 3101 now!

Finally, we’re planning on highlighting the last six months in the next Funky House Finesse show, selecting some of our favourite tracks from previous shows. Let us know what tracks stick out for you and we’ll be sure to get them in there.

Enjoy the show!

Expect to hear all the classics remixed by a whole host of producers through the years, including the Freemasons, Frankie Knuckles, Junior Vasquez, Masters At Work, Tony Moran and even a cheeky Daft Punk mashup.

We kick the show off though with another fine production from our favourite Australian artist Rachel Claudio, followed up with some sexy, uplifting soulful house tunes. Unfortunately, we don’t have time for any Disco Tech tunes this week but don’t worry – we’ll catch up in two weeks time.

Our favourite voiceover Ben Day returns this week too after his Summer break. We got mixed reactions to Si’s attempt at covering so we’ll leave the talking to the pro’s.

With all that said and done, make sure you leave some feedback on the mix, especially the MJ Tribute mix. It would be great to know what you thought of the feature.

Don’t forget to hook up with One Phat DJ online – you can find me on the popular social networks like twitter.com/onephatdj and the Funky House Finesse Facebook group, plus some lesser-known sites like Last FM and YouTube.

We would also love to hear from all you lovely listeners out there. Drop us a line on any of those social networks, leave a comment on the website or, even, send us photos, videos and phone messages. We’ll be sure to mention any shout outs in future shows so get them in quick!

Track Listing

1. Pulse ft Antoniette Robertson – The Lover That You Are (Kenny Hayes Sunshine Funk Mix) [AATW]
   

   AATW’s very own Kenny Hayes lays an anthemic piano bed to the huge 1996 classic to kick off the show. Already gaining support from Hed Kandi’s David Dunne, be sure to keep your ears to the ground for this release.

2. Groove Invaderz ft Katy Allen – Lead You To Love (Jay Vegas Soulful) [Playmore]
   

   Released 28th March 2009, featuring lead vocals from Katy Allen, backing vocals from Tara McDonald, produced by Jay “Vegas” Forrester & Daryl Hughes, guitar played by Andy Lee aka Central Avenue

3. Logical Groove ft Diana Waite – Pieces (Groove Delivers Vocal Mix) [Gotta Keep Faith]
   

   Released on Italy’s Gotta Keep Faith label on 20th April 2009, this delectable tune oozes charisma and Summer, just in time for WMC09. This remix is by East European producer Groove Delivers

4. Ralf GUM ft Daniel Thomas – Higher High (Ralf GUM Original Disco Attack Mix) [Gogo]
   

   Lead vocals by UK’s Daniel Thomas, choir director of The London Community Gospel Choir for 5 years, rose to fame with Brandon “Blockster” Block in 1999 with “Grooveline“, released on 30th March 2009.

5. Degrees of Motion ft Billy Porter -  Show Me (RJ Original Vocal) [Phase Deux Musiq]
   

   Selected by Mark Doyle and featured on Fierce Disco 3 compilation, re-work of the Glenn Jones 1984 soul classic “Show Me”, produced by the legendary Eric Kupper & Richie Jones with numerous classics under their belts, released on 5th February 2009.

6. Sandy Rivera ft LT Brown – Come Into My Room (Take It Back Mix) [Defected]
   

   Featured on the new collaborative, digital-only, budget-priced compilation “For The Love Of House Vol 1″ from Defected, Strictly Rhythm & Subliminal. Originally released 11yrs ago on Defected.

7. Warren Clarke & Tara McDonald – Love Crazy  (Triple D Remix) [Hed Kandi]
   

   Available on Hed Kandi’s The Mix (Spring 2009), originally released on Stereo Sushi version 13 in August 2008 as a more soulful version and featured on Hed Kandi US 2009, strangely little support in the UK.

8. Warren Clarke pres Jonni Black vs Shena – Bitch Is Back (Soul Junkie Remix) [Hed Kandi]
   

   Second track featured on The Mix (Spring 2009), another huge remix of Hed Kandi favourite Warren Clarke from June 2008.

9. Jenny Jones – Don’t Walk Away (Shave Remix) [Hard 2 Beat]
   

   Covering the 1992 RnB hit by girl group Jade, Jenny Jones version originally gained traction in the underground bassline scene of Birmingham and Leeds before Ministry’s Hard2Beat label snapped it up in January 2009.

10. Francesco Diaz ft Karl Frierson – Say A Little Prayer (Raul Rincon Peaktime Remix) [Wormland Gold]
    

    Originally released in March 2005 and recently re-released with a huge array of remixes, massive uplifting cover of Dione Warwick’s 1967 classic written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Be sure to check out the amazing Unplugged version to experience Karl Fierson’s powerful vocals in all its glory.

11. Roger Sanchez ft GTO – Turn On The Music (Ortega & Gold Remix) [Egoiste]
    

    Originally released in 2006 on Stealth Records, re-released on 12th March 2009. Monster tune seeing heavyweight remixers Chris Ortega and Thomas Gold take on the Chicago producer Roger Sanchez.

12. Phil England pres Sunstitute ft Larissa – Open Up (Retribute) (Phil England Coastline Remix) [Boomboxx Records]
    

    Phil England – whose already worked with Dan McKire and Max’C – teams up with Craig Dalzell to create this uplifting Ibiza-based funky house track. Vocals supplied by Larisa (one of the few girls signed to MoS).

13. eSQUIRE vs Bob Sinclair – Can You Feel It (Original Mix) [White Label]
    

    Cheeky bootleg of the 1999 house classic by Bob Sinclair (an all-time favourite of One Phat DJ), eSQUIRE applying his trademark sound to create a bouncy, uplifting, (almost) electro track for the clubs.

14. Dirty Vegas – Changes (eSQUIRE Remix) [Toolroom Knights]
    

    British house trio Ben and Paul Harris with Steve Smith on vocals returned after a four year split to record new material, promoting their new stuff at WMC09 and Barack Obama’s inauguration.

15. Dennis Christopher – Set It Off  (Ian Carey Remix) [Spinnin]
    

    Potentially the biggest track of the year. Huge support from the likes of Hed Kandi’s David Dunne, Ian Carey takes us back to the 90s with this acid-inspired remix, massive vocals, heavy piano loops.

16. Dimitri from Paris pres Electra 80 – Rock This Town (Original Mix) [Ssoh Music]
    

    Something a little different now, delving in to the world of nu disco with the legend that is Turkish-born French DJ Dimitri from Paris. This track consists of so many samples, you’ll struggle to identify them all.

17. The Young Punx -  Never Die (12″ Mix) [Mofohifi Records]
    

    Originally released in September 2008, this disco-infused track made a recent comeback featurd on Hed Kandi’s Nu Disco compilation. Fronted by Hal Ritson, the Young Punx have delivered quite an eclectic selection of tunes over recent years – I’ve featured several of their productions in my podcast, all with different styles.

18. Novy vs Eniac – Superstar (Show Me Your Intention) (Plastic Funk Remix) [Ministry of Sound Germany]
    

    Tom Novy puts his touch to DJ Jose’s 1997 track “Hesitate” with a bunch of producers creating a diverse range of remixes in this new package. The Plastic Funk remix is by far my favourite but be sure to check out the Lissat & Voltax remix for something a bit tougher.

19. Leonardo Carioti and Fedi T ft Vincent – Take Control (Xtended Vocal Mix) [Smilax Italy]
    

    The young Italian DJ has teamed up with fellow Italian Federico Trufelli bringing us a mixture of laid back piano loops fused with electro synths.

20. Audioplayerz ft Sarah Brown – Crazy (Club Mix) [Grooveland Records]
    

    This is the debut track from Welsh trio Fabian Abeki, Emil Falek and Marcus Simpson, featuring the vocal talents of fellow Welsh singer Sarah Brown. Fabian met Sarah at an MTV Base gig in Bristol and immediately asked her to feature on their recent production. With support from BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM, this is one to watch in 2009.

21. Mack – Return Of The Mack 2009 (Spencer & Hill Remix) [AATW]
    

    The German duo Peter Spencer and Josh Hill put their touch to the 1996 RnB hit by Mark Morrison in a collection of remixes for 2009.

The problem is this: I know that only a tiny minority of that figure actually spent money on the featured tracks. Naughty, naughty!

The reason Funky House Finesse is produced is to promote the latest funky house tunes to everyone, especially those tracks that don’t get prime time coverage but deserve it. Seriously, if you’re enjoying the tunes, reward the artists and producers for their efforts by purchasing the track. Nearly all the tracks featured are linked to legal download websites where you can buy the track, normally for about £1.

With the lecture out the way, let’s move on to the second show from the Funky House Finesse series.

Featuring some monster tracks from the likes of Bassmonkeys, De’lacy, Jay J, One Foot In The Groove, Rudenko, Bimbo Jones, Ricky Luchini, Moony and a sexy remix by Jazz N Groove of Soulsearcher’s classic “Can’t Get Enough” kicking the show off, you’re in for 90 minutes of pure class mixed up by your resident One Phat DJ.

As before, the show will only be available to download for 1 month so make sure you don’t delay and download it right away.

Funky House Finesse 2 will also be broadcast on Lifted Radio soon. Dates and times are still to be confirmed but I am over the moon about landing the slot. I’ve been keen to broadcast the Funky House Finesse shows since the start and its an honour that Lifted Radio have offered me the slot. I’ll be sure to announce where and when you can check it out.

Talking of Lifted Radio, good friend Paul Velocity who also hosts a fortnightly show every Thursday afternoon kindly allowed me to sort out a guest mix a few weeks back.

Finally, if you enjoy the Funky House Finesse series, how about contributing to the production and download costs? A lot of work goes into the show behind the scenes and those downloads don’t come for free – bandwidth for 10,000 MP3s over 100MB in size isn’t cheap so if you’re feeling generous, how about donating to the cause via PayPal?

With all that said and done, I present to you Funky House Finesse 2 (April 2009).
