The Funk District

The Funk District is a producer from Mexico, currently based in Cancun, a project formed by Fernando Mendoza in early 2015 with the main purpose of bringing a fresh sound to traditional Funk, Soul, Disco and African music using organic sounds and modern production techniques. Watch out for latest vinyl release on Samosa Records ‘The Congalizer EP’ *** Juno Records Review: Samosa has had a fine year in 2020 and still has time to squeeze out one more vital disco offering. Following on from afrocentric Souldynamic and C. da Afro releases for the 19th volume of their VA compilation, this time drafted in is Mexican producer The Funk District who serves up four dazzling gems. High energy sounds, 70s film references, Latin flair and cosmic disco all feed into these tracks which are packed with bristling good times, feel good grovers and plenty of hands in the air moments. For us, 'La Rapina' is straight Latin dance floor gold that takes the EP's top slot. Produced/Remixed music on Whiskey Disco, Samosa Records, Editorial Records, Legofunk Records, Tropical Disco Records, Furious Mandrill Records, Discoweey, Hotbox Boogie, Midnight Riot, Masterworks Music, Hot Digits Music, and many more. - Booking & General Enquiries: [email protected]
