Funk Fixes and Remixes

“Funk Fixes and Remixes” is the sound of NOW! The PJT’s THREE new original tunes show the constant evolution of this funky Brooklyn-based band, combined with SIX remixes by ace producer from around the world who put their touch on classic originals from the first album, “High Steppin”. The Pimps of Joytime have been in otion since their first 12″ EP release back in 2006. In fact, it’s hard to keep up with this band’s musical output…Why? Because they LIVE music! They’ve been bringing Funky Brooklyn to a whole bunch of spots around the globe, from London to Alaska to DC (and everywhere in between). They’re bringing real music from the soul!

Turntables on the Hudson 10 Year Anniversary

10 Years in business is no small accomplishment for anything in NYC!  Adored NYC Pizzeria’s have a worse survival rate, so when you think of parties & the hundreds that happen per week… what gives this on-going event the endurance to last? Some say it’s the Music, the Vibe, the People, the Places… Like a stand out pizza, all are essential ingredients in making this party successful for 10 Years!!  In celebration, Nickodemus & Mariano compiled a 2 disc CD & an even more extensive Digital Download set of tunes that cover all the “Classics from the Catalogue” and the “New Party Favorites.”  These are the homegrown tunes that really give you an idea of the diverse & upbeat nature of this crew & their parties in NYC & around the World!
