Music Man Miles & Egon started a party called "At the soul Inn" around the silverlake area. some good nites but ultimately they had to ramble down the road to star shoes bar where they were welcomed in by bar owner johnny Nixon to bring the ruckus on the dance floor.Egon started as djing 15 years ago in connecticut as a b-boy beat fanatic and later went to school out in Nashville where he could be close the funky soul trail from the midwest down to the south where proceeded to put in work travelling the country in between classes unearthing many of the records ya hear at funky sole.some of the records had never been played outside the city or town he found them in. working with Stones throw and Now Again records he would later release music from artists old recordings for the first time ever such as the brothers 7 and L.A carnival.after Nashville he moved out to L.A to help run Stonesthrow records with peanut butter wolf. at that time Miles was finishing the Breakestra's live mix part 2. earlier Egon(also journalist) had written an article on the breakestra and met miles by phone interview. Egon then brought a small version of Breakestra that same year for his annual Ultimate Breaks & beats party which included DJ short kut,dj clever,signify and Galt mcdermot with drumming legend Bernard Purdie not to mention bass player Wilbur bascomb of James Brown "funky president" fame. Egon continues to unearth unreleased material from accross this country which can be heard regularly at funky sole.Music Miles Miles, a musician first got into funk and soul music listening to hip hop then discovering the originals by hearing dj's like cut chemist,marvski and mix master wolf who were keeping the original bronx b-boy break flavor alive and well in early 90's Los angeles. miles had actually been making beats around the same time for MC T-love though he did not dj.He had a modest record collection but has in recent years had to enter a 12 inch step program.by 96 miles would start the breakestra (house band for the Breaks club)playing out the funk fantasy of making the live band the dj at the party.Later he would start Rootdown with former Breakestra and phantasm member Carlos guaico of the Rebirth,where he eventually started buying and spinning records.We're grateful to all the heads that support our funky sole and to the guest djs Quanitc,Keb darge,Dj shadow,Chairman Mao,Jeremy sole,Andy votel,Massah,J ROCC,Small change,Citizen Kane and ofcourse Cut chemist our usual funkspekt!what would life be without some fun-k-ee soul!for those lookin' to take funk home with ya you can get Miles' Funky Sole Vol.1 online at turntablelab.com or ksdmusic.com or dustygroove.com
