Mix Forty Two

Mix Forty Two takes you into Christmas 2011 and is your funk-filled cracker. It features Alton McClain & Destiny and solo work from Philip Bailey for the first time, as well as Chic, Incognito, David Bendeth, T-Connection, Sister Sledge, George Duke, Prince and Donald Byrd who celebrated his 79th birthday recently. Forget the cheesy Christmas songs, get some funky & soulful grooves on.

Gigspot: George Duke | Jazz Cafe

Last night we had the pleasure of seeing legendary jazz-funk act George Duke at the Jazz Cafe. It was our first time seeing Mr Duke and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a night of masterful music that got very funky at times, especially towards the end - which suited us down to the ground! Happily, George & his band even threw in a short rendition of one of our favourite tracks of his called 'Shine On', which he explained wasn't usual for him these days as he "can't do that falsetto stuff anymore!"

George Duke is a class act and funny guy. His tour bassist, Michael Manson, deserves a mention because he was superb. Bass, just the way we like it. Check out our video from the night below and head over to our YouTube channel for two more videos. Long live the Duke!

It's yet another milestone for VibeRide as we launch our 40th funk-filled rocket into web orbit. There's debuts for the Mary Jane Girls, Muscle Shoals Horns and Switch, along with some absolute classic funky and soulful cuts from: Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Jamiroquai, ADC Band, Ronnie Laws, Sunburst Band, George Duke - and Maceo Parker! VibeRide has so far served up over 400 of the finest cuts of jazz-funk ever recorded, without a single repeat. Next stop, number 50. See you there!

Mix Thirty Seven

It's Mix Thirty Seven and we are still in funk heaven my friends! This time around sees two newcomers in the shape of the Bar Kays and Brotherhood. They are joined by Jamiroquai, George Duke, Gene Chandler, Incognito, Maceo Parker, Commodores, Pleasure and Roy Ayers, and altogether they make up one powerful injection of funk straight to the soul.

Mix Thirty Five

Mix Thirty Five is here and it brings with it five newcomers. It also signals VibeRide's 2nd anniversary! That's two years and over 350 songs without a single repeat. That's the way we do it. My, how time has flown. It's certainly been a very enjoyable year for us with our YouTube channel really taking off and our listenership ever increasing.

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.
