It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of Fort Knox Five here at LSM. We’ve been following their musical exploits for well over a decade now and one of the many highlights of being fans of theirs over that period has been their long-standing and quality assured Funk The World mix series.
2011 is when the series kicked off with the intent to create a platform for the wide range of eclectic Funk sounds that were around to be showcased on. Whilst a good chunk of the mixes have come from FK5’s Steve Raskin, there has also been support shown to local Washington, DC spinners and global superstars alike, who have stepped in to take the reigns from time to time with great success. Now the series has hit yet another huge milestone as it turns 60, Steve has returned in celebratory mood with a bunch of tracks that have been rocking his world and in turn, delivers one of the funkiest mixes of the lot!
