Mr. Bird of Lisbon, Portugal, is manufacturing some serious original and remix funk, and we want to share it with you, beginning with his “Afropsychadelic remix” of “Tibetan Space Rock” by Hot Border Special:

We found Mr. Bird’s (@mrbirdmusic) funky tunes on Soundcloud, and found it to be extra DOPE, especially this jazzy jam “(We got the) Soul Limbo”:

… and the cipher smash “Bounce to the Beat”:
