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!

Image of the month

This is a brand new feature that we thought might be fun. Each month we're going to hand-pick a particularly striking image from the world of music and share some thoughts on it.

Our first image of the month is: Stevie Wonder by Al Satterwhite.

I love this photograph and it's probably my favourite of Stevie Wonder. Although, there is another image that runs a close second. What I like most about this photograph is the clever perspective, which makes the hands seem almost larger than life, and the way the microphone leads the eye into Stevie's classic expression. A skillfully constructed image that really makes you feel Stevie's unique energy! What do you think?

Mix Twenty Three

Mix Twenty Three is here and it's firing on all funk cylinders. If you haven't heard Incognito's recently released studio album, then you're in for a treat because this mix features a very hot track from it featuring Tony Momrelle on vocals. Click the album cover (left) to listen

Mix Fifteen

Mix Fifteen is here just in time for the Easter break, and so if you're planning on partying, then why not get in the groove with VibeRide's latest offering.

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 Eight

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

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.

Mix One

Welcome to the VibeRide blog. Here you will find detailed track listings for each show and information about the music and musicians that feature.
