Welcome to Funk Me...

Funk Me or Mass Suicide is the brainchild of Miguel Vargas and the DJ (Dj Ren aka Steven Renderos) which is formally a night show every second Tuesday at the Dinkytowner Cafe (Minneapolis) where you can catch us spin some of the most diverse programming in they city. But we also hoping to expand this concept.

Many times, we are often approached and asked about what music are playing, or what is our knowledge of certain artists, styles, genres, etc., and often times, you would just have to be there in order to catch those lectures and rants.

funkmass.blogspot.com is a way we can share and exchange information, stories, and culture with interested parties. In this blog, we post show playlists, reviews, and stories about the inspiring music that takes up all of our precious time. We will also include blogs, posts, and perspectives from allied contributers to help shed light in dark spaces to keep the blog rolling.

First things First; business as usual:



Every second Tuesday of the Month
Dinkytowner Cafe
412 1/2 14th Ave SE
Minneapolis, MN
9pm-2am
2 for 1 Drinks...
No Cover...

You catch the playlist here the following Wednesday after the show for some downloads and videos from our sets.

Just recently DJ Ren and I were featured on some episodes of LISTEN TO MPLS, a podcast about the real serious issues and happening of our beloved city. You can download our featured episodes:

Earlier in the year, I had posted my very first mixtape of some late-70s/early 80s records I own.

*note: some of the files are uploaded to zShare, which may post some not-safe-for-work link and photos on their sites. I wish we could control that, but we'll find other alternatives in the future.

Thanks to Brandon Allday of Big Quarters for mobilizing us with the current technology.
