Myspace Layouts

If you look in our influences section, you can purchase mp3's of our releases direct from the source.Founded in 1999 by Rusty Belicek, Frank Cueto and Tom Shiner.Artists: All Good Funk Alliance, Dr. Delay, Feature Cast, Gerbia, Dj Regal, Jeff Settle, Wicked Lester, and Eddie Skratch.Sound: Break Beat, Mid-tempo, Down-tempo, Hip-Hop, Electro, and FunkFunk Weapons was born out of a desire to release music that was a bit out of the comfort zone for most labels and distributors back in the 1999. The All Good Funk Alliance was writing music that blended organic sounds, funk, house and breaks, and were having a hard time finding anyone that would release or distribute it. Rusty and Frank of the All Good Funk Alliance got together with fellow recording artist Tom (Dr. Delay) Shiner to help come up with a design and look.The first release was an introduction to this new sound, and featured a new song from AGFA and three remix type tracks from AGFA, Dr. Delay and Brian Kirkbride. We only pressed 300 copies and never saw a penny from our distributer, but we didn't let that get us down. We kept pushing forward, developing our own unique look, sound and production chops. The Label didn’t really take off until we linked up with Groove Distribution out of Chicago, whom really pushed the Funk Weapons label worldwide with the release of AGFA’s “Pete’s Sake” EP. This lead to the next release which featured Fort Knox Five and new comer Kid Gusto on the remix tip, making for one of our biggest selling singles from a completely unknown artist Jeff Settle. Having been well ahead of the mid-tempo curve the Funk Weapons label was fast becoming a staple in many of the best dj’s crates.Our vinyl release with Feature Cast sold very well, which in this day of digital sales and Serato is no small feat. We are proud of what we have accomplished, and we are taking steps to go next level, with our releases now being available all over the world via the internet or in the finer shops from New York City to Tokyo.Be on the lookout for new releases from Dr. Delay, Eddie Skratch, Calagad13 and All Good Funk Alliance through the rest of 2008...
