Thrilled that our VA2 compilation has been featured in both @bandcamp and @mixmag 's best music lists this week! 🥰 Great to see a range of different tracks being mentioned as highlights too. Well done to all of our producers for bringing the heat 🔥
Huge congrats to Funky Adjacent Founder @calmstiege for being featured in Mixmag's top tracks for April, alongside some legendary acts 😎
Thank you for the kind words @mixmag team 🥰
We're so excited to share that @tinikapas ' track 'DO IT' is now available to premiere via @djmagofficial 💖
One of our core motivations is to push UK Funky-inspired sounds to the forefront of electronic music culture, so it feels amazing to have helped get a BANGIN UK Funky track, produced 10,000 miles from London, in a major music mag in 2024 🙌
We hope you love the tune as much as we do!
A little late but we're back with 3 of our fave tracks from April. Can find these all on bandcamp, streaming or whether you choose to buy your tracks!

Our final artist for tonight is the wonderful @candice_a.m . Her jazzy & groovy sets are a perfect way to set the tone for the night. Having played at the likes of @weoutherefest , @xoyoldn & @thecarpetshop.peckham recently. You know you're in safe hands!
Introducing the second guest artist for our takeover at @91bricklane - Just P (@justpbxn ). Anyone who's seen one of her sets knows it's actually Hype P!
Known for her energetic blend of UK & global club sounds, gaining her event bookings by funky legends like @marcusnasty , @scratchclart & @donaeo , she’s guaranteed to get you moving on Friday!
Hugely honoured to have @orii.community head @limi_dj gracing the decks at our @91bricklane takeover this Friday!!
Renowned for her versatility as a DJ, with standout appearances at @keephush_ and @glastofest , plus a 2024 @back2backdjbattle championship under her belt, she’s one of the most inspiring people in the UK music scene right now ✨
FA009: Nadī - AKIKA
Bristol-based @daytimers_uk affiliate @nadi_bpm arrives on Funky Adjacent with three bold tracks fusing dark and vibrant energy.
Akika is a tradition of giving charity and thanks after a baby is born in Islam. With the AKIKA EP, Nadī aims to give thanks and appreciation, and provide blessings and wishes for a good future.
Dub Train is a leftfield, chugging roller driven by a woozy bassline and a loose-limbed rhythm, threading together conga and djembe drums, techno-dancehall motifs and flashes of hoover synth.
Pineapple Punch (featured here) is built around arresting basslines shaped in a studio session between Nadī and @iyaalu_ . Anchored by a unifying pad, the track weaves together the beat of a talking drum with mesmerising vocals, flutes and crisp shakers.
Birdsong delivers an off-kilter groove laced with warped bird calls, a UK-rooted bassline and grimy claps.
Available to buy on Bandcamp and stream in all the usual places on 29/05/26 ✨
