What a time for Funky Breaks music or as known at the time as Nufunk. Goodgroove lead the way with artists world wide and a following that would lead people to the Ghetto Funk label and genre. Outstanding tracks from Featurecast with music that has stood the test of time, the beginnings of Second Hand Audio (The Breakbeat Junkie & DJP) and general output of funk music that would always rock a party.

Featurecast rose to fame in the early days of the genre Nu Funk and through the record label Goodgroove Records. His funky breaks music and DJ mixes were highly sort after at the time and Featurecast led the way into the newly formed Ghetto Funk Genre and record label. The Ghetto Funk movement had a huge following and still does to this day with it’s wobbly bass lines over funky breakbeats. Featurecast has been a bit quite of late concentrating on sound design and his Patreon to basically make a living.
You’ve probably never heard this mix before.
