Lately, I go looking for Nick Thayer’s name on the interwebs – he’s down with Aquasky and A.Skillz, he’s on a couple of the Bomb Strikes sides, he’s a solid bet for breaks and funk. However, this upload is not about Nick Thayer – it’s about somebody he ups in a posting on the Earworm blog:

"Will Styles (www.myspace.com/funktrust) has been running Funktrust in Sydney for 73 very odd years. They ran parties, got people drunk, helped people make important life decisions on Friday mornings and are responsible for me inspecting the inside of a plastic bag more than once. Funktrust Radio on Triple J (http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/funktrust/) is now holding shizz down on your wireless every Friday night if you’re in Aus, (also you can stream the show for the next week from the site worldwide – sweet!). You might’ve heard his Adam Freeland approved piss-take ‘We Want The Dole’, or some of the mad stuff coming from his label Fresh Jams (www.freshjams.net) such as the killer Good Buddha album. Dude is hella busy keeping up the funk quota down under, and as a secondary role ensuring that correct levels of rave, rinse out, and think breaks are heard on national radio.

“So, when Will shoots me a new DJ mix, I bump it. In the car, in the house, on the phonepod (I don’t have an iPod), it doesn’t matter. He has just bumped me a new one, and it is tight. Some highlights for me are the new Lyrics Born ‘I Like It’ (how did I miss this?!), the Oizo rmx of Jamie Lidell’s ‘Little Bit Of Lovin’, Midfield General’s ‘Disco Sirens’ (seriously – get with this joint), The Skunk Charley Sez remix of The Prodigy, and the DnB rinse at the end with Danny Byrd’s ‘Shock Out’ (damn!!).”

So I was cranking this mix as I was driving around the Constitution State this past weekend, and it was cracking me up – clever, funky, great stuff. Hope you like it – sorry no tracklist!
