| “Oh look!”, said Georgina excitedly “It’s The Funky Junkies!” |
 |
| “Oh no, not those guys!”, scoffed Julian - “They always play loud music and smell of cheap wine and beer!” |
|
| “Why of course?! Aren’t they the best?!” swooned Georgina. |
|
| And Timmy the Dog growled “Yeah, baby!” |

| Ahhhh … summer. Whether it’s rainy or shiny there’s no denying … it’s here! Time for a day trip to the seaside to fill up on fish, chips and candy floss! Gaze up at the night sky and ponder if we are alone in this universe. And (of course) party the rest of the night away until dawn! Now then, who’s gonna provide the soundtrack to that little lot?! Oh alright ... pass the Casio keyboard and we’ll show you how it’s done! |

Right then … time for the shouty loud and shouty proud bit ...
WE’RE THE FUNKY JUNKIES. WE MAKE OTHER LIBRARIES JEALOUS! ;-) |

SEASIDE ROCK
If you're anything like The Funky Junkies, you'll be tightening your belt and swapping the Seychelles for the Seaside this year! So we rustled up 37 summery, guitary tracks (yeah … 37, baby … we don't mess about you know!) to take along for the ride! With the Fun Button firmly taped down on the mixing desk, we made sure that we covered every eventuality! Seaside Rock … a bumper load of summer fun!
let's hope it stops raining! |

OTHER WORLDS
Aliens. If you know anything about The Funky Junkies then you'll know that we'd be believers! But after years of sending telepathic messages to the E.T.'s … they still haven't come to get us! Enough is enough. Time to go find them ourselves. So grab your Space Raiders (only 20p!), fasten your seatbelts and join us on The Funky Junkies' magical mystery tour to the stars! Other Worlds … it's like … really spaced out, man!
ok ... i'm ready for lift off Huston .... |

8 BIT TRIPS
This is what we did. We plugged a ZX Spectrum into an Atari into an Amstrad into a BBC Micro Computer into a Speak 'n' Spell into an Akai S900 into a handheld Donkey Kong game into a copy of Space Invaders into a vocoder synth into a guitar amp. Then we typed into the ZX Spectrum >10 PRINT “THE FUNKY JUNKIES ARE SKILL” >20 GOTO 10. Then we hit record on the tape machine! 8 Bit Trips … addicted to bytes!
gimme a bit of the old 01101110! |

BEDS 'R' US
Here's a little factoid of the day! Did you know that all of The Funky Junkies' tracks download with underscores, edits, beds and alternative mixes?!
Just hit the download button init?! But if you need one of the choons tweaked then get on the blower and let us know! We can either get it remixed in our state-of-the-art 1980's studio pronto or we can supply you with the stems so you can be all Superstar DJ yourself!
take me to the music, Junkies! |
