Review by Expo Jun 26, 2009
Here’s some reviews that this release has received:

Feeling like something’s missing in your life? It may be a deficiency of Vitamin F. DJ Expo has the remedy with this highly fortified Funk capsule. Take as often as necessary until your Funk level been restored!
-MONK ONE (Wax Poetics)

Expo hits you with a rock shockin’ mix, solid selections all the way through!
-KON (Kon & Amir)

Expo strikes a good balance of diggin’ deep for the funky nuggets while weaving them into his mix effortlessly.
-DJ NU-MARK (Jurassic 5)

Root Down’s DJ Expo delivers a 45 track mix of rare 7″ funk. Sourced only from OG copies, this is like getting a personal tour of Expo’s collection… crackle, dirt, and all. Smooth transitions too (as smooth as funk mixes can be), plus lots of drops from DJs and collectors for extra color. You can tell Expo put in the extra effort into to this, down to the cool comic cover and vinyl-style CD. Satisfying like a good burger.

Review by basementheads Jun 24, 2009
This mix CD features a fine selection of rare funky soul 45s. All records were sourced from original vintage pressings. The whole flow of the mix goes very smooth as all songs are cleanly blended together. Nothing too familiar on this CD. Great learning experience for anybody new to the world of rare funk. Features amazing artwork by comic book artist Food One. Nifty 4 panel packaging and vinyl textured CD. Also features shout outs from veteran and all star DJs from all over. Definitely pick up yourself a copy of this mix CD!
