Of the tracks I didn’t know before making this mix, the Sound Experience one is the pick for me.
Boooooogie Woooogie….

*rubs thighs and locks children out of office
Oh dear me, where do I start ?
A Fantastic mix Mr M.
Rocktastic even ?
My 2 fave Stevie trax,coupled with Parliament’s “Flashlight”, and a couple of Grand Funk Railroad’s ?
Wonderful stuff sir.
Thank you once again.
😛 🙂 😀 😆
Looks boss this does…….I bet it sounds shitty though 😉 😆
Really like this one Matrix. I Love discovering tunes that modern artists have sampled, and 2 in here made me smile – Burning Spear, and Grunt have been used by ETA (Casual Sub/Burning Spear) and Public Enemy (Terminator X) – splendid work. Always amazes me how much good music there is out there that I just don’t know about!
T 🙂
great mix – my favourite one from you yet – some excellent tunes and very interesting to see some original source material popping up again – you been digging the blogs? 😉
top mix – funky as hell and great end tune – love it 😀
Cheers all!
I originally started this mix just after James Brown died as a mini funk tribute, but as usual there are only two tracks left from the original draft selection….and no James Brown!
That half-explains the title – the rest comes from me mis-hearing Stevie Wonder’s Superstition lyric as “thirteen months of maybe” instead of “thirteen month old baby”…and I like the mis-heard lyric more now.
Lenodd- although I didn’t specifically go blog-digging, I certainly listened to a hell of a lot of funk tracks and compilations before filtering the stuff I thought was ace. Plus, I’ve been looking for a home for Zombie for a while now. Great track, referring to the Nigerian military and their blind following of orders apparently.
had a good time with this mix in the car this past weekend!
Nice, I like!
Gonna take that to my camping trip next weekend, sitting round the fireplace, drinkin some beer…
Having a Schnitzel or two 🙂
Great work ❗
Love the songs…
oh this does like guite yummy! Just finished the download and clicking start NOW! 🙂
Oh.. zombio zombi diz was IN DA POCKET good!! 🙂 Hey! Ain’t it funky now! Oh this Funk juice was mighty tasty for breakfast, yes indeed!
S.O.U.L. – Burning Spear what a great track! This one was new for me! Gotta go find me some S.O.U.L. now! Loveliness!!!!! Nice transition into Booker T! ~ Sound Experience – Boogie Woogie…GEEZE!!! I have not heard this track in YEARS!!! I beleive I was wearing BellBottoms when I last heard this track.. no fooln’. This mix is bringing back a lot of memories, thanks for laboring and sharing!
I have another series of jazz mixes I been working on called “Dry Fruit” this mix has inspired me to stray away from the green cheese for a while and focus on the dry fruit, so next mix from Mr. Green Cheese will be Dry Fruit.
a little copy n’ paste from wikipedia
In 1977 Fela and the Afrika 70 released the hit album Zombie, a scathing attack on Nigerian soldiers using the “zombie” metaphor to describe the methods of the Nigerian military. The album was a smash hit with the people and infuriated the government, setting off a vicious attack against the Kalakuta Republic, during which one thousand soldiers attacked the commune. Fela was severely beaten, and his elderly mother was thrown from a window, causing fatal injuries. The Kalakuta Republic was burned, and Fela’s studio, instruments, and master tapes were destroyed. Fela claimed that he would have been killed if it were not for the intervention of a commanding officer as he was being beaten. Fela’s response to the attack was to deliver his mother’s coffin to an army barrack and write two songs, “Coffin for Head of State” and “Unknown Soldier,” referencing the official inquiry which claimed the commune had been destroyed by an unknown soldier.
Fela and his band then took residence in Crossroads Hotel as the Shrine had been destroyed along with his commune. In 1978 Fela married twenty seven women, many of whom were his dancers and singers to mark the anniversary of the attack on the Kalakuta Republic. The year was also marked by two notorious concerts, the first in Accra in which riots broke out during the song “Zombie” which led to Fela being banned from entering Ghana. The second was at the Berlin Jazz Festival after which most of Fela’s musicians deserted him, due to rumors that Fela was planning to use the entirety of the proceeds to fund his presidential campaign.
fela’s the man 😈
bong – should that be fela’s the fella?
ye. he’s the don
Woo what a tracklist! I’m almost drooling – gonna have a listen now 😈
Great mix! Great cover too. As for sample-spotting, I think “Grunt” was also used on something by Renegade Soundwave, I forget the title though…
i swore i wouldn’t post on this site. but fuck. that’s the shiznat!
EW & F
flashlight
the chi-lites.. hurry up and do another one
lol thanks.
I don’t know about the hurry up part though – this took 7 months to fiddle with intermittently, plus I have 3 other mixes in various stages of preparation.
On the other hand, I filed a Femi Kuti track under the ‘definitely going to use’ section last week, and sometimes all it takes to kickstart a whole mix is just one song….so you never know.
just out of interest why did u swear not to post on this site!
well… apart from the fact that it takes me a week to reply 8)
i really don’t know the difference between rnb & rpm – i’m that guy who requests a ray of sunshine when you’re playing ventura highway.
props to anyone who shares their mixes here though, im eating this site with my ears
Jrock, imo it’s always worth commenting no matter how long or short the comment is.
Agree with Len on this one too, best mix to date from ya. Take all the time you want if this is the result…
Bang on, with that comment about one tune starting a mix. That’s usually how it starts with me and then I build it around that particularly tune.
I agree too about the ‘one track spark’ (not a bad name for a mix that)…
Note for Mr Greencheese – check out ETA’s casual sub/burning spear – it’s mad! (in a meaty goodness kinda way)
Been going through some of the archives and seeing what sets I have missed or if I ‘ve overlooked any, and I’m glad I came across this one. An awesome mix with some great tracks I’ve never heard before.
