The Funky Farm digital imprint has been harvesting a steady yield of world-class funky, techy, deep, chunky, jackin’, dirty, underground house music since its inception in 2010. The label is brainchild to long-time disc jocks, avid house heads, and long-time friends Nick Garcia and Matthew Anthony (aka Audio Snob). The two began producing music in the late 90’s, which inspired the label known as Vinyl Assassins Recordings “VA)R”. Their contributions include 8 vinyl releases on VA)R along with 3 digital releases under the imprint HomeGrown House. As well as productions on other labels such as Rhythmic NYC, Soulshift, Big Chief, Soluble Recordings, Ginkgo Music, Jump Recordings, Fabric, and Dufflebag Recordings. It has been their mission from day one to help keep the dream alive for the West Coast underground house music scene.
In 2020 longtime Funky Farm resident Oscar Miranda became partner and A&R. Oscar’s been a staple in the Bay Area House scene for nearly two decades. Working at iconic Primal Records from 2002-2004. He’s released music on Phil Weeks’ Robsoul Recordings, Hector Moralez’s Minority Music, and The Factory.
Some of the acclaimed producers and remixers to grace the label include the likes of Hector Moralez, Arturo Garces, Mikey V, Stranger Danger, Chemars, Lurob, L!TO, J-Fader, and Aback. The label has garnered play from some of house music’s finest including Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, Derrick Carter, and Phil Weeks to name a few.
