Funkotheque Vol. 1 (2005)

This is the promo-mix for the first round of Funkotheque club nights in Kristiansand back in 2005. Back then Funkotheque was run by rapper/producer Salvador Sanchez (Darkside of the Force/Punani SS/Mud People), Dark Ernie (Vaagsbygd Handy/Club Dynamight), Halvard Helle and DJ Breakneck. The concept was short-lived due to a slight clientele-crash between the Funkotheque crowd and the regulars at the venue Vinkjelleren. Breakneck took the name and concept to Oslo and Månefisken for three more nights in 2006. Then, in 2011, Breakneck joined forces with Don Lom and resurrected the Funkotheque name for a regular spot at Turkish Delight in Oslo. Even though venues and constellations have varied, the musical profile has stayed the same: old school electro, funk from the eighties, and some grimy rap sprinkled in-between.
