In late 2011, “renegade funk ‘n’ soul” label Fort Knox Recordings launched a monthly mixtape series titled Funk the World. The first part of the series was presented by the label’s own Fort Knox Five and included an eclectic mix of world-music artists among remixes of songs by Fred Astaire and Louis Armstrong.
This month’s mixtape is presented by DJ Jay Clue (of QDUP Foundation) and features the likes of Gogol Bordello, Tim Tim, and The Correspondents, among others. You can listen to the entire mix here and read on for the full tracklisting.
