Gigspot: Earth, Wind & Fire | London

Last week we had the enormous priviledge of seeing Earth, Wind & Fire perform live. Although I lived in hope, I never really believed I'd get to see Earth, Wind & Fire because it seemed their touring days were over. Naturally then, when I heard they were playing London I felt like a kid with a new toy.

Mix Nineteen

VibeRide is almost one year old, but before we celebrate, first there's the matter of Mix Nineteen which offers up some seriously fierce basslines. Click the album cover (left) to listen.

Mix Eighteen

Mix Eighteen is coming your way and there ain't no way of stopping it. So just grab a hold and enjoy the ride. It comes with 11 cuts of fiesty funkiness sure to grab your spirits by their scruff and hurl them sky high.

Mix Seventeen

We might have hit May already, but the weather here in the UK is stubbornly refusing to leave the winter behind and brits are left with no choice but to continue to reluctantly wear jackets, jumpers and the like. 

Mix Sixteen

Mix Sixteen has erupted like a volcano of funk and is billowing out funktitude all across the world wide web. Unlike a real volcano, the closer you get to this one, the better.

Mix Fourteen

Mix fourteen is out now and features a Chic track that is a masterclass in the art of funk bass, a live Commodores track and a debut for a certain group that went by the name of The O'Jays. That's accompanied by a host of feel-good tracks from the likes of Slave, Con Funk Shun, Kleer, Jamiroquai and more.

Music Therapy

VibeRide is delighted to announce that we can now donate all sales commissions earned via our Amazon Music Store, our Spreadshirt clothing store and our advertising affiliates to the following UK charities that specialise in music education, activities and therapy for children:

Mix Twelve

Mix Twelve is almost literally a juggernaut of funk - and it's heading your way. It's our second show of the new decade and with it we unleash two acts not yet featured in the shape of Sister Sledge and Kleeer.

Mix Ten

Yowser! We've reached double figures with Mix Ten, which is available now via all the usual channels. Christmas is a great time to play lots of music and get down to some serious funking. 

With that in mind we decided to make this show an extended mix by including a fabulous live performance from Maceo Parker to round off the show perfectly. We hope it plays a part in your celebrations.

Mix Nine

VibeRide's ninth mix is complete and has just been released for your listening pleasure. Our latest offering is a heady mix of some real dance-floor funk tunes coupled with a few smooth grooves to ever so slightly chill to. 

GigSpot: Ronnie Scott's | Jazz FM's Funky Sensation

Last month Jazz FM announced they would be hosting a regular saturday night event in the upstairs bar at the world-famous jazz venue, Ronnie Scott's.

This weekend VibeRide was asked to go along as guests of Jazz FM to check it out and we were, of course, very happy to do so.

Mix Eight

Mix Eight brings with it no less than four VibeRide debuts, and of course lots more funkful grooves from our favourites.

Q: We are talking to one of the greatest producers, musicians and composers, Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick, who happens to be the band leader of Incognito. There are two things to talk about these days: First of all the new album "Adventures In Black Sunshine" and secondly 25 years of Incognito.

Mix Six

We're delighted to bring you Mix Six, which is now available to listen to right here or to download via i-tunes, or by whichever method you prefer. 

We've still got tonnes and tonnes of funkalicious music to bring you - and we're discovering 'new' stuff all the time.
