Featured Mixes: Jackmaster Flash (Kristan Goes To Atlanta- 80s-90s House)

This is a series of four mixes that were sent to me earlier this week on Facebook by DJ Jackmaster Funk. What intrigued me from the second I decided to click the download button is the story behind them. All of the tracks from this mix were sourced from a binned cardboard box just sitting on the street outside of a record shop in Portland, Maine.

Not sure if JackMF picked these up himself or if it was one of his friends, but regardless, someone was in the right place at the right time. This is because all records in the box were hardly junk, but instead, old white label promos, test presses, worn down copies, and even full releases, consisting entirely of quality house music. The plates dated from around 1987-1997, and includes everything from well known classics to bits that possibly may have never even been released. 

The entire series is dedicated to his friend Kristan Fucci (who recently moved from Maine to Atlanta) and is inspired by the “Tracy Goes To New York” story. The first two mixes of this series have been on repeat every night around the house, and I have parts 3 and 4 queued up for future listening. You don’t see mixes with this kind of music every day, so I figured this one definitely deserves a post in the Featured Mixes section.
