Fleamarket Funk represents everything we love about a blog. The site is inspired by the largely forgotten arts of funk, soul, jazz and hip hop and it's truly a go-to-guide for all vinyl heads. Not only is there a constant update of new material, mixes and interviews, but they even manage to put out a podcast. It's become the go-to place for many diggers looking to stay up to date with the latest music, whether it's that hot funk reissue or the latest throwback soul LP.

The man behind the blog...

Enter Jamison Harvey, aka DJ Prestige, the sites creator and founder of the Fleamarket Funk movement. Having toured as a DJ, and supported such kings in the game as Q-Tip, he has turned his attention to the blog world and has truly excelled. He uses the site to share his exceptional knowledge and insight on the world of vinyl and the music biz in general.

Dig Deeper...

Dig a bit deeper into the site and there really is a wealth of information. One of my personal faves is the '10 questions with' section. In this section, he hits up some top artists, label managers and DJs with a brief interview. This features some notable figures in the game, including Shawn Lee, Tall Black Guy, Mr. Thing and the legendary Stuart Baker from Soul Jazz Records in London. The interviews are always concise and to-the-point, and a great source of knowledge for the modern vinyl fan. 

Passing the inspiration on...

Another dope feature is the 'Fi Real?' section. Jamison recounts stories from his life and times as a DJ and digger, which always beg the question, "Fi Real?". My personal favourite was 'Don't Be A Record Dick', in which Jamison explores the idea of being a modern digger, and how spreading the word with fresh-faced record enthusiasts and helping people out is what keeps this thing going.

“If I don’t tell kids your age, no one will appreciate this stuff ever.”

Spread the love...

And I guess this is the purpose of his whole project. Spreading the love globally to vinyl people who love this special branch of music, and keeping this thing alive for generations to come...

Support him by picking up one of his 'Buy More Vinyl' merchandise options, including a killer t-shirt.
