Mix of the Day: Claas Brieler (Jazzanova) “Soul, Boogie and Funk Mix”
Here’s a rather tastefully crafted mix by Claas Brieler, founding member of Jazzanova and Sonar Kollektiv Records. The mix, itself, is a nice fusion of funk, soul, boogie, disco and jazz. Definitely some serious heat throughout this sonic blender of soulful grooves; perfect for the headphones, entertaining guests at a …
Forgotten Treasure: Funky Rainbow “What I Want Is What I Get” (1979)
Who ever said that the US has the monopoly on great Disco Funk? This UFO all the way from Trinidad & Tobago circa 1979 is there to disprove that notion. I found this awesome record from Funky Rainbow in the 45’s collector bin of Mike Vault, the famous British record …
MIMS Talks with: SARD BOOGIE (Australia)
B-Dub – I first came across you via Myspace about ’08/09 (remember that?!) and the 1st track I heard was Muthafunkagetsbeatdown, and that one still does it for me. That’s a solid Hip-Hop style banger, which is what your roots are. How’d it all start, Sard? SARD BOOGIE – Yes I …
Forgotten Treasure: The Cannibals “She Knows” (1981)
“Is there anything more anti-climactic than New Years?” my friend asked.

Sensing my rapidly increasing despondency, he rescued me with his iPod; “Here, listen …
Forgotten Treasure: Steve Arrington “Beddie-Biey” (1983)
Oh the things you can find in dollar bins! My favourite kind of digging is getting down in the crates no one touches and spend a whole bunch of money on overlooked gems you can buy just based on a hunch or simply because of the cover art. Well, this …
Forgotten Treasure: Kleeer “Tonight” (1984)
Kleeer is easily one of my favorite Boogie bands of all time, and I say this without hesitation; they’re up there with S.O.S. Band andImagination in my books, absolute classic 80’s Boogie. To me, Kleeer is a name that is all too familiar, however I get the impression that this …

Forgotten Treasure: Peggie Blue “I Got Love” (1980)
We just released our fourth compilation of Forgotten Treasures (get it here). It’s filled with amazing selections as usual but I just wanted to fill you in on my person pick. I remember picking up this album from a bin and looking at the cover thinking “This girl knows what’s …
MIMS “Forgotten Treasures Compilation #4”
Here is fourth compilation of ”forgotten treasures” which is – if you’re new here – one of the pillars of this website. The idea is to ask our DJ and Producer and all around Music Junky friends to pick one track they’d like to share with you. The fourth volume …
Mix of the Day: Arni Kristjansson “Boogie Mixx 5”
I’ll never forget the first time I heard the very first Boogie Mixx, I was travelling and stuck in my hotel room in a sketchy part of town just waiting to be picked up the next day. I spent a good 6 hours listening to it back to back (on …
