Deep, funky house from a Midwestern mailman finishing 75 tracks.

01 — The Mission

75 Deep.

25 years of house music trapped in 75 unfinished tracks. A mail route that eats 15 hours a day. So I built my own tools to finish them all — and I'm doing it in public.

The tools don't write the music. Every note, chord, and groove is still built by hand. They clear the admin — the repetitive Ableton overhead that labels hire assistants for. I don't have that budget, so I built my own. The hours I do have go into the only part that matters: turning a lifetime of feeling into records that still hit after the lights come up.

Unkle Funk, profile

Every track gets finished and released — on a label I'd be proud to call home, or self-released if that's the path. Not a play for clicks — just the groove that's been in my head all these years, finally getting out.

This isn't a comeback story. It's a finishing story. If you've ever left something that is a big part of who you are unfinished — not abandoned, just hanging there, nagging at you — then this story is yours too.

          04 — About

          The mailman with the record bag.

          I make deep, sexy, funky underground house — warm, late-night music built for the floor, not the algorithm. DJing since 2001, fifteen years in the studio, releases on Soulsupplement Records, Wulfpack, and DOIN' WORK Records.

          In the booth — black and white

          In 2010 I launched Sunday Slackin' — a weekly showcase of exclusive mixes from DJs and producers worldwide. Nine seasons, real house heavyweights: the late, legendary Paul Johnson, plus Dantiez Saunderson, Corduroy Mavericks, Stranger Danger, and many more.

          Then life did what life does. These days I'm a mailman in the Midwest, on a route that eats fifteen hours a day — with 75 unfinished tracks waiting. So I built tools to finish them all, in public. Unfinished music is a weight. Finishing it is the healing.

          First rave, first decks — 2001 & 2002. Every unfinished track here is a promise back to that kid: still in love with this music, still worth making proud.
