Mix Forty

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 Nine

Mix Thirty Nine kicks off with a prime cut of Patrice Rushen jazz-funk in honour of her 57th birthday. New on the scene are Dennis Coffey, Bottin, Zapp, The unemployed and Gentle Persuasion. Rick James, Jamiroquai, Kinsmann Dazz and the irresistible T-Connection complete the line up. May the funk be with you.

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.

Mix Thirty Three

Mix Thirty Three is out now and it signals the return of the cat in the hat, Jamiroquai. There's a couple of newcomers in the shape of Jean Knight and David Bendeth who bring some classic, and solid, funky grooves with them. This is all backed up with some heavy funk and uplifting grooves from Incognito, Slave, T-Connection, The Sunburst Band,  Banda Black Rio and the inimitable Quincy Jones. Enjoy.

Mix Twenty Six

Christmas won't arrive early, but that's okay because Mix Twenty Six has - hurrah! It's early, but in a slightly different place. For boring technical reasons, for the first week or so it will be available exclusively on mixcloud.com only, then afterwards through our player here on the website and through iTunes.

Gigspot: Jamiroquai | Jazz Cafe

A couple of days ago, VibeRide was amongst 300 people to see Jamiroquai play an exclusive gig at the intimate Jazz Cafe in London.

Minus the usual feathered head dress and sporting instead a more modest purple trillby, Jay Kay hit the stage with more band members than could physically fit onto it. This meant we were treated to the peculiar spectacle of backing-singers standing on a stair case, but it took nothing away from Jamiroquai's performance.

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 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.

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 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.

Mix Four

After a slight delay (holiday then illness) VibeRide Four is on the webwaves and It's a bass-slapping 49 minutes of funktitude. There's tonnes of energy in this mix and the tempo is high, so hold on to your hat when you flick the switch on this one.
