Funkymix - Collection
Listening through the collection is like walking through a hall of fame for popular music, but with a distinct "club polish."

The goal is simple: mixability. For a DJ, this eliminates the anxiety of the "cold fade" found on radio edits. You can beatmatch these tracks in your sleep.
