Lost the funk? Check these out...

1. (NEW) The Sweet Divines – Honeythistle - Unreleased
Vintage-sounding breakbeat sister-soul from New York.
Listen - Read feature

2. (NEW) Stoned Soul Picnic – One Dollar Hotel – 7” Single
Filthy low-slung instrumental funk from the Hammond heroes.
Listen mp3 - Read review

3. (NEW) Nice Up – Old School/ Virgo - 7” Single
Two super-heavy mash-ups: more old-school breaks bolted onto Dizzee than you can shake a fat-lace at, while Nas gets grafted onto the Tommy McCook / Supersonics loop that Lily Allen used on LDN.
Listen mp3

4. (NEW) Percee P – The Hand That Leads – 7” Single
Slow-rollin’, fat-saxin’, beats and rhymes. Been out a while but well-limited!

One word. Sultry and sexy. Alright that’s three words.

Raw funky soul like they used to do. Do I ever get bored of listening to this stuff? Nope.

9. (6) Tame Impala – Skeleton Tiger – Unreleased track
Proto-metal heavy psychedelia. These guys party like it’s 1969 and none of them were even born then. Far out!

Even more raw funky soul like they used to do.
