G-FUNK VIBES by XL MIDDLETON

First of its kind DJ mix from L.A. funk producer XL Middletonn who has previously collaborated with Crooked I, Kokane, Down, Mistah FAB and more. Limited edition, press of 200 cassettes.Seeking to find the missing link between 80’s boogie and the modern funk sound of today, XL Middleton brings you G-Funk Vibes, a cassette mix of nothing but g-funk music, the predominant style of west coast hip hop in the mid 90’s, which lent a home to funk after a time when new jack swing had usurped the synth-heavy funk sound of the early and mid 80’s. G-Funk Vibes is the first in a series dedicated to demonstrating just how influential this sound has been on contemporary funk music, often forgotten amidst discussions of boogie basslines and breakbeat digging. This is the perfect soundtrack for a windows-down, slow cruise, as you let the bass thump.
