From their About Us page:
What is Flea Market Funk? Flea Market Funk is an all vinyl blog run by DJ Prestige focusing on Funk, Soul, Jazz and Reggae music based out of Brooklyn, NY. Flea Market Funk is also a tribute to the art of the DJ, Hip Hop music, and the culture that goes along with it. I preserve the music and culture through my reviews, mixes, interviews, guest mixes, and the like. FMF has you covered from dusty 45′s to out of print Lps to sampling to live music to Modern Funk and Soul to producing to Classic Hip Hop and more. It’s all about “the way we live”.
I love the mixes he has on the website, it reminds me of the selection of records I always look for when I shop. There is a feeling of joy in finding that soul funky sound of old forgotten records after digging through bin after bin that can only be expressed by record collecting. That's half the fun of records, the search for the sound, the feel of going through stacks and stacks of used records in dollar bins. The smell of old cardboard and vinyl that always perminates old record stores.
Below is a video that captures a few D.J's and their vinyl obbsession.
From "Flea Market Funk" .:
Listen as they share there thoughts on the subject of vinyl digging as you enter the realm of the last true culture where music is key and collecting is a part of life.” Really great stuff.
