DJ Mentos presents Flute Funk Volume 1 hosted by Wax Poetics

Ever since hearing St Germain’s “So Flute” track off his groundbreaking Tourist LP released in early 2000 I always loved me some flute in my tunes. That being said, while browsing the Wax Poetics magazine‘s latest picks I stumbled upon this 1-hour mix of funky flute-driven tracks by New York producer, beatmaker, hiphop-connoisseur and avid record collector DJ Mentos. According to the man himself, “all the songs featured [on ‘Flute Funk’] were recorded from original vinyl pressings. I realize that most people don’t care about that, but I do”. Hear for yourselves and make sure to check out Mentos’ free download 2012 instrumental hiphop release “Field of Vision”:
